The Gibson Custom Les Paul Standard Flame Top Sweetwater Edition brings a whole new level of beauty to one of the most iconic solidbody electric guitars of all time. A duet of Gibson’s Custom Bucker humbucking pickups delivers the familiar midrange grunt and sparkling top end of a great set of PAFs. But what really sets this Les Paul Standard Flame Top apart is its breathtaking, hand-selected figured maple top and lightweight, 1-piece mahogany body. But you have to move quickly to grab an LP with these premium tone-woods because you’ll only find it here at Sweetwater.

The allure of figured maple:
The Les Paul Standard has been a mainstay in the company’s lineup from the beginning of their foray into solidbody electric guitars. This Les Paul Standard Figured Top adds gorgeous flame maple, ensuring the guitar looks every bit the top-tier musical instrument that it is. The figured maple caps a lightweight, 1-piece mahogany back for the unmistakable cut, warmth, and sustain all Les Pauls are known for. And the mahogany neck is topped with a warm-sounding rosewood fingerboard.

True Historic appointments
Gibson Custom Shop guitars include appointments to add even more vintage vibe to their guitars. Necks and fretboards are attached using hide glue, which many argue sounds better than synthetic glue. The Gibson Custom Shop also carved the Les Paul Standard Flame Top’s mahogany neck to the hand-filling ’59 profile that has come to define the instrument. And the Gibson Custom True Historic truss rod cover seals the instrument as an original. These features and others make the Gibson Custom Les Paul Standard Flame Top a dream come true for fans of great Gibsons.

Custom Bucker pickups
The Les Paul Standard Flame Top Sweetwater Edition’s Custom Bucker humbuckers are, according to Gibson, the most historically accurate PAF clones on the market. Gibson poured over countless vintage and reproduction PAFs before arriving at what it feels is the next best thing to the genuine article. Give this Les Paul Standard Flame Top Sweetwater Edition a strum. You’ll be greeted with the bell-like top end and warm low that some describe as hum-free single-coils on steroids.
