Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s - Goldtop
The new Les Paul Standard returns to exactly the classic design that secured its incredible relevance and popularity, shaping the sound across generations and genres. It’s a tribute to Gibson’s golden age of innovation, bringing its authenticity back to life.
The Les Paul Standard '50s features a solid mahogany body with a maple top, a rounded mahogany neck styled after the 50s with a rosewood fingerboard and trapezoid inlays. It’s equipped with a classic ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, an aluminum Stopbar tailpiece, luxurious vintage tuners with keystone buttons, and amber top hat knobs. The calibrated Burstbucker 1 (neck) and Burstbucker 2 (bridge) pickups are fitted with AlNiCo II magnets, audio-taper potentiometers, and Orange Drop capacitors.

First of all, a huge thank you to the Kirstein team. The guitar arrived super packed and super fast. There was also a sticker on the box saying that the guitar had been checked and adjusted again by Kirstein and someone did a perfect job.
The guitar itself is amazing! The vanilla smell alone when you open the case is an experience. And what was beaming at me? A Gibson with an incredible flame top! I got one where the top is even more beautiful than in the photos. If someone had told me it was a AAA top, I would have believed it. The overall finish is absolutely flawless and the matte finish feels great. The string action, neck bend etc. were all perfectly adjusted and the guitar was even tuned.
The sound is always a matter of taste, but it certainly sounds as you would expect from a 50s Gibson. But what's most important to me is the playing feel, which is a real pleasure.
I thought long and hard about whether a guitar is really worth that much money to me, but I have to say that the Gibson is really worth every penny. An absolute recommendation to buy!

The guitar arrived well packaged and quickly with me! For this already a big praise to Kirstein.
Gibson has also done a good job, because the guitar has no defects and was perfectly intonated. This was not always self-evident with Gibson, but has recently become better and better!
So a really good standard that deserves its name and I am sure to be able to play it with pleasure for many years!

1. sound of the guitar good
2. string action very bad - had to be completely readjusted afterwards by a specialist
( this has to be checked by the guitar department before selling )
3. saddle made of plastic, hmmm - well, yes - is a very poor quality, because
a) the saddle was already damaged (broken) and was glued on by Gibson afterwards.
sorry, that's not possible - therefore I had to have a new saddle (bone) made.
have to make a new saddle
b) ABR Tune -o-matic ,Stoptail should be exchanged ,because ,the stringguide
is not 100 percent and the sound is also not as usual.
e.g. : ( overtones tilt , sustain is too short ) therefore a new Gibson ABRH bridge was
was applied
Cost after buying the guitar ; 200 € --for that the guitar sounds now really very good .
This unnecessary time expenditure to be spent afterwards and the above-mentioned additional cost note is not at all to be expected of the customer and must always be urgently controlled by the QM system of the music store to be adhered to, which unfortunately was not observed in my case.
Since most guitar players are not technicians, this article should give the management of the music store an impulse to be more careful in the future.
So guitarists, when buying this guitar, please check immediately what was criticized, so that you do not incur additional costs and you can use the instrument immediately, namely as it should be in principle.
Best regards, Peter
