The Les Paul Standard 50s Faded is the Standard 50s in a satin nitro finish. You get the same build as the gloss guitar, at a lower price: an AA figured maple top on a mahogany body, the rounded 50s Vintage neck, and Burstbucker 1 and 2 pickups hand-wired with Orange Drop capacitors.
A satin finish feels different under the hand, drier and faster on the neck, and it starts to wear in sooner with playing. If you like a guitar that looks played, it gets there quicker than gloss.
Two finishes, Vintage Honey Burst and Vintage Tobacco Burst. The Les Paul Standard 60s Faded is the slim-neck version.
