DescriptionGibson recently revised the Les Paul Standards and while these improvements were awesome, many players still wanted a Standard with vintage vibe, appointments and feel. That's where the Les Paul Studio Goldtop comes in. Vintage looks and feel with made in the USA quality. Just like a 50s Les Paul, the body is mahogany and features a Gold maple top.  The 24.75 inch scale mahogany neck features a bound rosewood fingerboard with pearloid trapezoid inlays. Coil-tapped 490R and 498T humbucking pickups in the neck and bridge dish out big tone. This combo has a great classic rock tone that's close to a traditional PAF. Tuneomatic bridge, Stopbar tailpiece and vintage style tuners keep it rock solid. The finish is classic Goldtop lacquer. An incredible looking and performing guitar.Les Paul tone means different things to different people, but in my opinion the best vintage-style examples straddle a fine balance between power and articulation. When you knock the volume back, it needs to clean up; the tone controls need to work throughout their range and so it is with this guitar. The clean tones have a great deal of sweetness. Pile on the gain, and the Humbuckers hold on to it for a classic rock punch; less 'quacky' than the older Studios, but not as overbearingly thick.This Les Paul plays and sounds great. The neck feels like it has a 50s profile. The action is good.  Excellent playability. The Coil-tapped 490R and 498T humbucking pickups in the neck and bridge deliver a variety of tones. Many players prefer these to Burstbuckers or even more expensive boutique pickups. This is a clean guitar. It has seen Little Playtime. With the exception of some minor surface/Clearcoat swirling to the Rear of the body the guitar very Clean. Comes in original hard-shell case with Original Case Candy.The Les Paul Studio Goldtop DarkBack has everything players love about the Les Paul. Killer looks, great tone and excellent feel. A great guitar worthy of its namesake.
