In a class all his own, Joe Riggio creates some of the most compelling, soulful, and truly inspiring guitars made in this decade or any other. Riggio's Burst Standard is a fastidiously handcrafted instrument from his one-man shop, with production limited to only a few dozen instruments a year, sparingly few of which are Bursts. The body shape trademarks of this instrument are also officially licensed by Gibson.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith hand-selected lightweight tonewoods, proprietary neck carves (mapped on a CNC from actual vintage examples), accurate hardware and plastics, and a proper deep dish carve on the two-piece curly maple cap, this Burst Standard checks all the essential boxes for the player whose tastes run to '50s Burst conversions, Collector's Choice models, and aged Murphy Lab Custom Shop examples.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Burst Standard is extremely lively and notably lightweight for a Les Paul at only 8lbs 15oz, featuring a carved Eastern maple flame top, mahogany body, and one-piece mahogany neck capped with a dark Indian rosewood fingerboard.

The bridge pickup has a sparkling cut and smooth growl, with a tight, bouncy bass register and a real midrange sweetness. The neck pickup balances pillowy warmth with authoritative percussive cut, offering a sound both silky and clear, and each position on the three-way pickup selector is vital and distinct. This Burst Standard has been professionally set up here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike's Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Wood: Mahogany (one-piece)\u003cbr\u003e- Shape: Chunky '59 C, measuring .875” 1st fret, .985” 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e- Fretboard: Indian rosewood, 12” radius, celluloid trapezoid inlay\u003cbr\u003e- Frets: 45\/100 vintage-spec, no wear\u003cbr\u003e- Scale Length: 24 3\/4”\u003cbr\u003e- Nut: 1 11\/16”, bone\u003cbr\u003e- Tuners: Kluson-style, tulip button\u003cbr\u003e- Headstock: Riggio script logo inlay\u003cbr\u003e- Serialization: 22-prefix (2022), inked\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Wood: Eastern flame maple, mahogany\u003cbr\u003e- Pickups: Riggio PAF humbucker x2 (7.9k ohms)\u003cbr\u003e- Controls: Volume x2, Tone x2, three-way pickup selector\u003cbr\u003e- Harness: CTS 500K audio taper pots, premium tone caps\u003cbr\u003e- Hardware: Kluson no-wire ABR-1 bridge, stopbar\u003cbr\u003e- Plastics: One-ply cream pickguard, cream pickup rings, amber bonnet knobs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe pure nitro lacquer Dark Cherry Sunburst highlights the curly flame figuring across the two-piece top, and the maple has a correct '50s deep dish top carve and subtle return at the binding edge.
