Heaven on fire!
If you lay your hands on a Gibson Les Paul ’50s Standard you will not touch any other guitar after. Or maybe just to convince yourself that you should pick up the Standard of electric guitars as there is no other that rises to its performance.
The Gibson Les Paul ’50s Standard gives you all that you should expect from a period correct Les Paul, chunky but extremely easy to play neck, not wax potted and low output humbuckers, a proper (some would say rather heavy) weighting body that makes you feel alive and, on the spot, when you shake it around and a sound that is a legend already. Now we all can hear the legend speak to us in our homes, rehearsal rooms and small-town gigs.
Thank you, Gibson, for making, once again, guitars that we love and thank you, Thomann, for making it possible to buy these instruments also in Europe with a click of a mouse.
Please note that this review comes from a Gibson Les Paul devoted player and does not want to take away anything from the merits and value of other brands and instruments. There are many great instruments on the market suitable for different styles and needs, but for me the Gibson Les Paul ’50s Standard is the number one choice. The tobacco burst finish is spectacular and it should become more prestigious as it ages and as the years of rock shall show themselves on the skin of the guitar.
Rock On!

What a beast
What a beast! The sound is beyond amazing. Looks are gorgeous. Thick neck? If you think this has a thick neck, all I can say is you've never played a guitar with a thick neck. Heavy? Nah. This thing plays so well and has such a sound I get completely immersed, and don't even notice it. Plus a wide strap helps. All I can say it's just an awesome, awesome instrument! Highly recommended!

The perfect wonder
I have been looking forward to buy a new guitar for quite some time. Gibson LP has been on my mind due to their long history and play-ability. And after the revamp in the LP, there was only one place one could head to, to buy a guitar (Thomann). The guitar is a wonder. It has a great feel, great sound and great tuning. Perfect string action and perfect finish. The experience of buying through Thomann made my choice much simpler to buy as the guitar was on the way in a day and the guitar arrived after a few days. Put your mind at rest that with the packaging that Thomann installs, there is no doubt that any guitar will arrive in perfect condition. The LP remains on the top of the guitar lists after all and Thomann's service is without a doubt faultless.

Beautiful fantastic guitar
This guitar is a dream come true for me, feels and plays great.
The finish is fantastic, it was great to play out of the box.
The neck is nice and thick, it has decent weight to it - all that you expect from 50s Les Paul.

Timeless Tone
The Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s offers a refined vintage aesthetic and solid craftsmanship. Its design is iconic, boasting a flawless finish and precise fretwork. The mahogany body and maple top produce a warm, classic tone suitable for various playing styles. The Burstbucker pickups provide a versatile range of tones, from clean to overdriven. With a comfortable slim taper neck profile, the guitar offers smooth playability.
