{"product_id":"gibson-mary-ford-les-paul-standard-goldtop-w-burstbucker-pafs","title":"Gibson Mary Ford Les Paul Standard Goldtop w\/ Burstbucker PAFs","description":"Mary Ford’s contributions to the development of the electric guitar truly cannot be overstated; she did, after all, assist in the design process for Gibson’s first ever solidbody electric alongside her then-husband and musical partner Les Paul. As the story goes, in 1958 (some six years after the Les Paul model’s introduction) Gibson created a one-of-one Les Paul for Ford, custom-built and featuring a floral design motif on the ES-295-style pickguard and added armrest. This is the first-ever reissue of that legendary instrument, boasting the same eye-catching aesthetics, including Cherry finish on the back and sides (rare for a Goldtop), and a pair of Burstbucker PAF humbuckers.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWeighing 9lbs 5oz, traditional tonewoods include a solid non-weight relieved mahogany body, two-piece maple top, mahogany neck, and bound rosewood fingerboard. At the heart of this Mary Ford Les Paul are a pair of Burstbucker #2 and #3 pickups in the neck and bridge positions, respectively: the Burstbucker #2 is a faithful PAF iteration, yielding excellent clarity and warmth. The Burstbucker #3 in the bridge position is more hotly wound, wax-potted for optimal feedback rejection and featuring Alnico II construction.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\n-Shape: SlimTaper C (chunky, 1959 depth), measuring .880” 1st fret, .995” 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e\n-Fretboard: Rosewood, 12” radius, acrylic flared trapezoid inlays\u003cbr\u003e\n-Frets: Medium jumbo\u003cbr\u003e\n-Scale Length: 24 3\/4”\u003cbr\u003e\n-Nut: 1 11\/16”, Graph Tech\u003cbr\u003e\n-Tuners: Gibson Deluxe double-line\u003cbr\u003e\n-Serialization: Nine-digit stamp dates to 2024\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Maple, mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\n-Pickups: Burstbucker #2 (N), #3 (B)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Controls: Volume x2, Tone x2, Three-way pickup selector\u003cbr\u003e\n-Harness: Gibson Alpha pots, Sprague Orange Drop tone capacitors\u003cbr\u003e\n-Hardware: No-wire ABR-1 bridge, lightweight aluminum stopbar\u003cbr\u003e\n-Plastics: ES-295-Style cream pickguard and armrest with Gold Floral design, gold bonnet knobs, amber switch tip\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe brown Gibson hardshell case hangtags, and case candy are included.","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48072786903296,"sku":"230340348","price":2999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4437\/4714\/files\/medium_5c9bf7fd-8608-4ec2-9e18-969568985c19.jpg?v=1772307462","url":"https:\/\/mmguitarbar.com\/products\/gibson-mary-ford-les-paul-standard-goldtop-w-burstbucker-pafs","provider":"Mike \u0026 Mike's Guitar Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
