Don't just pick out a guitar, pick out YOUR guitar. When ordering a guitar by serial number from AMS you aren't simply choosing a guitar model, you're choosing the very guitar that will wind up in your hands. That unique flow to the grain, the sunburst finish that's just slightly darker than the one next to it; musicians like yourself understand that these things matter when searching for the guitar of your dreams and newest addition to the family. Shopping by serial number allows you the convenience of buying online combined with the essence of the in-store experience. At AMS, what you see is what you get.
The Les Paul Standard is the guitar that built the legend, and now it comes dressed in something a little different. This Custom Color edition pairs that iconic ‘50s sound with a stunning AA figured maple top wrapped in new transparent finishes. You still get the warm, vintage tone and the chunky ‘50s neck profile players have chased for decades — just with a fresh look that turns heads.
For the guitarist hunting down a true go-to axe, this one checks every box. A hardshell case is included, so it's ready for the road or the stage right out of the gate.
A Look That Stands Out
Most Les Paul Standards play it safe with classic bursts. This one breaks from the pack. The AA figured maple top shows off rich grain patterns under transparent finishes you won't find on the standard lineup, giving each guitar its own personality.
AA Figured Maple Top: Beautiful grain figuring sits front and center, accentuated by new transparent Custom Color finishes.
Rosewood Fingerboard with Trapezoid Inlays: Smooth-playing rosewood and those unmistakable trapezoid inlays keep the look authentic.
Gold Top Hat Knobs and Vintage Deluxe Tuners: Gold top hat knobs with pointers and Keystone-button tuners round out the vintage-inspired details.
Tone That Lives Up to the Name
Plug it in and you'll hear exactly why the Les Paul Standard has earned its reputation. The calibrated Burstbucker pickups deliver that rich, dynamic voice that works for blues, rock, and just about everything in between — clean and articulate one minute, thick and roaring the next.
Calibrated Burstbucker 1 and 2 Pickups: Loaded with Alnico V magnets for warm, expressive tone with plenty of bite when you push it.
Orange Drop Capacitors: Premium caps keep your tone clear and musical as you roll back the volume and tone controls.
Audio Taper Potentiometers: Smooth, predictable control over your sound, exactly where you expect it.
Built to Play and Last
This is a guitar made to be picked up every day. The ‘50s neck profile fills your hand in the best way, while the time-tested hardware keeps everything stable, in tune, and ready to perform gig after gig.
Vintage ‘50s Neck Profile: A rounded, substantial neck that's comfortable for chording and soloing alike.
Classic-Style Tune-O-Matic Bridge and Aluminum Stop Bar: Rock-solid intonation and sustain from a proven pairing.
Vintage Deluxe Tuners with Keystone Buttons: Reliable tuning stability that holds up through long sets.
Ready for the Stage
The Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s Custom Color AA Top brings together everything people love about this guitar — legendary tone, a comfortable 50s neck, and bulletproof hardware — then adds a gorgeous, figured maple top and fresh finishes you won't see everywhere.
With a hardshell case included, it's a serious instrument ready to become your number one. If you've been looking for a Les Paul that sounds as good as it looks, this is the one to grab.
