As a limited run, the Les Paul Standard ´50s Quilt is a collectible tribute to Gibson´s golden era.

Solid Mahogany Body and Quilted Maple Top for Resonant Tone

The Les Paul Standard ´50s Quilt gets its deep, rich voice from a solid mahogany body capped with a stunning quilted maple top. Mahogany provides a strong midrange foundation, while the maple top adds clarity and definition. Together, they create a complex tone that´s balanced across the frequency spectrum. The maple´s unique quilted figure results in gorgeous esthetics. Whether playing rock riffs or mellow jazz chords, you´ll feel the mahogany body resonate against your own, connecting you physically to your sound.

Rounded ´50s Neck Profile for Extreme Comfort

Shredding solos is effortless with the Les Paul Standard ´50s Quilt´s rounded ´50s neck profile. Its thickness fills your hand without feeling bulky or cumbersome. Smoothly contoured shoulders let your fingers move freely across the rosewood fingerboard and 22 medium-jumbo frets. The vintage-style 12" radius contributes to comfortable chord shapes and bends. Even during long gigs, this ´50s neck profile maintains its fast, slick feel. The mahogany construction provides crisp note articulation.

BurstBucker Pickups for Versatile PAF-Style Tones

For authentic Gibson tones, the Les Paul Standard ´50s Quilt has Burstbucker 1 (neck) and Burstbucker 2 (bridge) pickups. Made with Alnico II magnets and wound to vintage specs, they provide singing lead tones with rich overtones just like the legendary PAF humbuckers found in late ´50s sunburst Les Pauls. The Burstbuckers easily take you from sweet, silky neck tones to raw, biting bridge tones perfect for aggressive soloing. With the 3-way toggle switch and two volume and tone knobs, you have total tonal control.

Vintage-Style Hardware for Authentic 50s Vibe

From its aged gold top hat knobs to keystone tuner buttons, the Les Paul Standard ´50s Quilt nails iconic ´50s Gibson style. The ABR-1 bridge and aluminum stopbar tailpiece provide rock-solid tuning stability and sustain, while giving a period-authentic look. Vintage deluxe tuners maintain precise pitch with their 18:1 gear ratio. Orange Drop capacitors and audio taper potentiometers retain faithful tone. With its ornate pickguard and bound body and neck, this Les Paul looks every bit the ´50s classic.

A Striking, Limited-Edition Finish

Visually, the Gibson Les Paul Standard ´50s Quilt makes an eye-catching statement with its transparent bourbon burst finish on a beautifully figured maple top. The bold yet classy color palette gives this Les Paul an extra degree of flair. As a limited-edition model, it will stand out from other Standards. The vintage-inspired ´50s neck profile, gold hardware and engraved pickguard complete the nostalgic design. Own a special piece of Gibson history and experience the Les Paul tone and playability that has made it an icon for over 60 years.
