Consensus: unmatched sustain and thick humbucker tone; criticized weight (~9+ lbs) and neck-heal access.
Specimen 159
Les Paul Standard
Note
Mahogany body, carved maple top, two humbuckers (since 1957), set neck. THE rock guitar; "burst" 1958–60 Standards are the most valuable guitars in the world.
