This 2018 Gibson Les Paul Standard in Mojave Burst pairs the familiar Les Paul formula with several modern updates introduced during Gibson’s late-2010s lineup refresh. The AA figured maple top is finished in a warm burst that highlights the grain while retaining the model’s classic visual appeal. Features include a pair of Burstbucker Pro humbuckers, locking tuners, and Gibson’s asymmetrical SlimTaper neck profile, offering a blend of traditional styling and contemporary functionality.
By 2018, the Les Paul Standard had become a platform for Gibson to incorporate player-focused appointments while maintaining the core elements that made the model a fixture in popular music for decades. The Mojave Burst finish gives this example a distinctive look without straying far from the instrument’s roots. Cleanly executed and versatile in its configuration, it represents a notable chapter in the ongoing evolution of the Les Paul Standard.
Includes gold lizard skin-style hard shell case.
