🎸 Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s – Heritage Cherry Sunburst
Share
For Players Who Know What They’re Looking For
You don’t need me to tell you what a Les Paul is.
But this one — the '50s Standard in Heritage Cherry Sunburst — this is the one that reminds me why I fell in love with guitars in the first place.
🧳 A Guitar That Speaks Before You Plug In
The moment you pick it up, you’ll notice something.
The weight. The balance. The resonance.
This one’s non-weight-relieved mahogany, just like the old ones — full-bodied, rich, and honest. You feel every note before it even hits the amp.
On top, you’ve got a carved maple cap, giving you that sweet top-end clarity Les Pauls are known for. But this isn’t a modern shred machine — this is for players who feel their way through a solo, not race through it.
🔍 Let’s Talk Details — Because You Care
Neck: Thick 50s Vintage profile — fills your hand without fighting it. If you’re used to slim tapers, this will surprise you. In a good way.
Fretboard: Indian rosewood, bound, with trapezoid inlays. Feels alive. 22 medium jumbo frets.
Pickups: Burstbucker 1 (neck) and Burstbucker 2 (bridge), both with Alnico II magnets.
Electronics: Wired with audio taper pots and Orange Drop caps, just like they used to.
Bridge: ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic with stop bar tailpiece — old-school hardware, modern stability.
Case: Comes with the Gibson hardshell, of course.
It’s not just the parts. It’s how they come together. The pickups aren’t just vintage-flavored — they’re alive, responsive, full of that raw midrange and singing high end. You roll back the volume just a little, and it cleans up beautifully without losing depth.
You can play jazz on this. You can rip blues. You can play Sabbath. And it’ll all sound like you.
🧠 Real Talk From a Collector
I've bought, sold, and played dozens of Les Pauls over the years — Standards, Customs, Historics, even a few early 90s Pre-Historics. I don’t list every guitar that comes through the shop. Only the ones that matter.
This one made the cut.
Why?
Because the neck carve feels just right.
Because the wood resonates like it’s already broken in.
Because every customer who picks it up does that nod. The one where they say nothing — but you know they feel it too.
💰 Market Value (Singapore)
As of writing this, a new Les Paul Standard '50s in Heritage Cherry Sunburst retails for S$4,590 in Singapore.
A clean pre-owned piece will land you anywhere from S$3,000 to S$4,000, depending on year and condition.
But here's the thing — these hold value. And if it’s the one you end up keeping, who cares what it’s worth later?
