Overview

Own a piece of music history with the Mary Ford Les Paul Standard, a tribute to a pioneering artist and a one-of-a-kind guitar.

The Gibson Mary Ford Les Paul Standard is a stunning recreation of a unique 1958 Les Paul Goldtop, believed to be custom-made for the legendary guitarist and vocalist Mary Ford. This guitar not only celebrates her innovative spirit and musical legacy but also offers players a chance to experience the magic of a truly special instrument. With its distinctive aesthetics and classic Les Paul construction, the Mary Ford Les Paul Standard is a must-have for collectors and players alike.

Mahogany Body and Maple Top — The Foundation of Les Paul Tone

Crafted with a mahogany body and maple cap, this Les Paul Standard delivers the rich, resonant tone that has defined generations of music. This classic combination of tonewoods provides a balanced sonic foundation with warmth, clarity, and sustain. The mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard and SlimTaper profile offers a comfortable and familiar playing experience, allowing for effortless transitions between chords and leads.

Burstbucker Pickups — Capturing Vintage Les Paul Tone

The Mary Ford Les Paul Standard is equipped with a pair of Burstbucker pickups, a Burstbucker 2 in the neck and a Burstbucker 3 in the bridge. These pickups are known for their ability to capture the vintage Les Paul tone, offering a wide range of sounds from warm and mellow cleans to powerful and overdriven leads. The hand-wired electronics with Orange Drop capacitors further enhance the guitar's tonal clarity and responsiveness.

Distinctive Appointments — A Tribute to Mary Ford's Style

This Les Paul Standard features several distinctive appointments that pay homage to Mary Ford's unique style. The Goldtop finish, a classic choice for Les Pauls, is complemented by a rare Vintage Cherry back, adding a touch of elegance. The cream and gold floral pickguard and armrest, inspired by Mary Ford's original guitar, are truly distinctive details that set this instrument apart.

Celebrating a Legacy of Innovation

Mary Ford, a celebrated guitarist, vocalist, and innovator, left an indelible mark on the music world. Her influence extended beyond her musical talent, as she was also instrumental in the design of the ES-295, a popular Gibson hollowbody guitar. This Les Paul Standard serves as a tribute to her artistry and her unique 1958 Goldtop, a guitar that reflected her distinctive style and innovative spirit.
