Gibson proudly introduces the Billy Gibbons “Pearly Gates” Les Paul Standard, a tribute inspired by Billy’s iconic original guitar. Built with a non-weight-relieved mahogany body and topped with AAA figured maple, it delivers the classic Les Paul Standard formula of warmth, punchy midrange, articulate attack, and singing high-end response that has inspired generations of players
The mahogany neck is shaped to a comfortable 50s Vintage profile, offering the vintage-inspired feel that has helped make original 1959 Les Paul Standards so highly regarded. Its bound rosewood fretboard is fitted with 22 medium jumbo frets, acrylic trapezoid inlays, and a 12″ radius, providing a smooth and familiar playing experience whether you’re strumming open-position chords or digging into expressive lead lines higher on the neck.
The Billy Gibbons “Pearly Gates” Les Paul Standard is finished in a beautifully executed Slow Iced Tea Fade vintage-style burst, featuring a Korina Yellow base and Faded Cherry back and sides. The vintage gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish is identical to that used on Gibson Custom VOS-finished models, giving the guitar a rich, elegant appearance and subtle glow that truly comes alive in person. Each instrument ships in a Gibson hardshell case for secure storage and transport, although players may find it difficult to leave a guitar this inspiring in its case for long.
