Jared James Nichols Demos The Les Paul Standard ‘50s P90

Description
The Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s P-90 solidbody electric guitar is a legend reborn. This iconic axe blends vintage-inspired looks with innovative, professional-level features, transporting players back to the golden age of rock and roll. At its core is a mahogany body with maple top and a rounded '50s-style mahogany neck for resonant, full-bodied tone. Coveted P-90 single-coil pickups deliver clarity and punch, powered by handwired electronics and Orange Drop capacitors. From its gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish to its vintage hardware, the Les Paul Standard '50s P-90 is a tribute to Gibson's storied history of excellence.
P-90 Pickups Provide Versatile Tone
The Les Paul Standard '50s P-90 is equipped with P-90 single-coil pickups in the neck and bridge positions. Renowned for their tonal versatility and articulate midrange, these Alnico V magnet pickups produce everything from glassy cleans to raunchy overdrive. The 3-way pickup selector allows players to access the neck pickup solo, bridge pickup solo or both pickups together.
Handwired Electronics Yield Vintage Sound
Gibson's handwired electronics feature quality components like audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors, which help shape the Les Paul Standard '50s P-90's tone. Two volume and two tone controls provide flexibility in dialing in your perfect sound.
'50s Profile Neck Offers Fast, Comfortable Playing
This Les Paul's mahogany neck has a rounded '50s profile for a fast, comfortable playing feel. Its rosewood fingerboard features 22 medium-jumbo frets and acrylic trapezoid inlays. A 12" fingerboard radius and 1.695" nut width strike a balance between vintage specifications and modern playability.
Vintage-Style Bridge and Tuning Machines
An ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece anchor the strings and provide exceptional intonation and sustain. Vintage deluxe tuning machines with keystone buttons complete the look and performance.

I ordered my gold top Les Paul standard from Guitar Center. It arrived a few days later perfectly packaged and flawless. The paintwork was spot on and the action was even perfect out of the box. This is my third Les Paul and I have a great feeling about this guitar. A fantastic addition to my collection and I plan to hand it down to my son one day.

This sounds and feels amazing . I'm normally a Strat type of player but after I picked this one up and tested it , I compared it to 7 other guitars including the ultra 2 Strat and vintage 2 series and other Les Paul's and this one is miles ahead of everything I tried .

I had wanted a gold top with p90s forever. I bought mine in 2022 and could not be happier with it. Quality is outstanding and the feel and tone is unbelievable.
