The Gibson Adam Jones Les Paul Standard in detail
Gibson USA is proud to introduce another Artist model in collaboration with Adam Jones. Adam Jones, guitarist of the Grammy-nominated band TOOL , is considered one of the greatest talents in rock and innovation.
About the artist
In his childhood, Adam Jones first played the violin and later the electric bass. While at school he played in a band called Electric Sheep with Tom Morello, later guitarist for Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave . After graduating from school and studying FX technology, he founded the progressive metal band TOOL with his neighbor Maynard James Keenan, bassist Paul d'Amour and drummer Danny Carey. He also took over video production for the band and shot the famous TOOL videos, which differ from ordinary music videos with their stop-motion technique, drab colors and grotesque figures. On stages around the world he impresses with his technically sophisticated guitar playing.
Full power
Adam Jones' new signature Les Paul Standard in Antique Silverburst comes with an ebony fretboard with mother-of-pearl trapezoid inlays, Grover Rotomatic tuners, a Gibson BurstBucker on the neck and a DC high- gain humbucker on the bridge. This pickup combination ensures a real power sound in all settings. The entire electrical system was hand-wired and impresses with the use of Orange drop capacitors. Adam's signature is immortalized on the Truss Rod cover and Adam Jones artwork can be found on the back of the headstock. The Les Paul of course comes in a modern hardshell case.

As early as 1958, Gibson built Les Paul guitars called the Standard. In 1960, with the redesign of the Les Paul to later become the SG, production was initially discontinued. However, since 1976, Gibson has been producing Les Paul standards again. The Standard series are guitars that embody the essence of the Les Paul.
The Les Paul Standard guitars consist of a mahogany body with a maple top and a glued mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard. This is based on the same recipe that characterized the first Les Paul guitars of the late 1950s.
The Les Paul Standard is available in several model series, each representing a different time in Gibson's history and thus paying homage to this time. In addition to the Standard 50's, these model series also include the Standard 60's and the Standard 50's with P-90 pickups.
For those of you who particularly value historical accuracy, Gibson also builds reissues of former Les Paul standards as frame of the Murphy Lab .
If you want to get an overview of the series , you can find our series overview here .
If these guitars are not exactly what you are looking for, we would like to recommend the Les Paul Studio series or the Les Paul custom shop guitars .
If the Gibson versions are a little too expensive for you, you can find an overview of our range of Epiphone Inspired by Gibson guitars here.

The US Gibson Guitar Corporation, founded in 1902 by Orville Gibson in Kalamazoo, Michigan, was initially known for production mandolins and banjos. Today the company's headquarters are in Nashville, Tennessee and Gibson is one of the world's most well-known and renowned manufacturers of electric guitars.
The Les Paul model , named after its creator Lester William Polsfuss, is one of the most famous and best-selling electric guitar shapes of all time and founded the design of the single cut guitar, which has been copied, adopted and reinterpreted by numerous other manufacturers. The Les Paul is primarily valued for its warm and powerful sound . The humbucker pickup responsible for this, in its common design today, was also developed by Seth Lover at Gibson .
At the beginning of the 1960s, another solid body electric guitar from Gibson appeared, the Gibson SG . Initially intended as a successor to the Les Paul, it became another icon of rock history, thanks in part to Angus Young from AC/DC, and is the basis for the double cut guitar type .
With the Flying V and the Explorer , Gibson is responsible for two body shapes that were far ahead of their time at the time of their release in the late 1950s, but which also achieved legendary status over the years. To this day they also serve as the basis for a variety of heavy guitars , for example from manufacturers such as Jackson or ESP.
The Gibson custom shop produces commissioned work , high-quality one-off pieces and exact replicas of famous models and legendary vintages of their instruments. These are often subjected to an artificial aging process called relicing.
Acoustic guitars have also been produced for almost as long as the company has existed. The J-45 , the Hummingbird , the L-00 and the SJ-200 are among the most popular acoustic guitars in the world and were the instrument of choice for Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley and John Lennon.
In addition to the instruments already mentioned, you can of course also buy picks , bags and cases or merchandise from Gibson from us.
