Traditional Les Paul construction and tonewoods

The Les Paul Standard 50s P-90 is built using time-honoured construction methods, starting with a solid mahogany body with no weight relief. This preserves the dense, resonant character associated with early Les Paul models, producing strong sustain and a pronounced midrange. A carved maple top adds brightness and clarity, helping notes cut through without losing warmth. Together, these tonewoods form the foundation of the classic Les Paul sound, offering dynamic response and a rich, authoritative voice.

50s Vintage neck profile and rosewood fretboard

A mahogany neck with a 50s Vintage profile provides a rounded, substantial feel that supports confident fretting and expressive vibrato. The glued-in set neck construction enhances sustain and resonance, while the bound rosewood fretboard adds smooth response and classic visual detail. A 12-inch radius balances comfortable chording with controlled bending, and 22 medium jumbo frets ensure accurate intonation and durability. This neck design delivers an unmistakably traditional playing experience.

P-90 pickups and hand-wired electronics

Two soapbar P-90 pickups deliver the raw, articulate tone that helped shape early electric guitar music. Loaded with Alnico 5 magnets, they produce a bold midrange bite, clear highs, and a touch-sensitive response that reacts strongly to picking dynamics. The pickups are hand-wired to individual volume and tone controls using audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors, allowing smooth, musical adjustment. A three-way toggle switch lets you access each pickup or blend them for added tonal flexibility.

Vintage hardware and period-correct details

Classic hardware completes the specification, reinforcing both tone and authenticity. An ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminium Stop Bar tailpiece provide solid tuning stability and enhance sustain. Vintage Deluxe tuners with keystone buttons offer reliable, precise tuning, while nickel hardware complements the Gold Top finish. Cream plastics, amber switch tip, and gold Top Hat knobs with dial pointers complete the vintage aesthetic. Supplied with a Gibson hardshell case and accessory kit, this model is built for long-term performance.
