Gibson Guitar has announced the new Les Paul Standard Faded model
with their "worn" finish treatment, available for the first time in
Gibson's traditional sunburst colors: Worn Cherry Sunburst, Worn Honeyburst
and Worn Tobacco Burst.
The new model is also the first in Gibson's Faded family to feature the
maple top cap that has made the Les Paul famous. The Standard Faded has the
aura of the classic Les Paul Standards 1958-60, thanks to a genuine
hand-stained lacquer process and a satin finish that allows the wood to
resonate and gives the neck a very natural feel.
The model also features the Gibson Burstbucker Pro (zebra coil)
Alnico humbucking pickups. The Les Paul Faded is available with rounded '50s
or slim '60s neck profile and is also available left-handed.
MSRP is
$2,848.00
