Green Les Paul Standard Style Guitar
The Green Les Paul Standard Style Guitar combines the unmistakable single-cutaway LP design with a striking transparent green finish that allows the figured grain of the top to remain clearly visible.
Its rich green colouring transitions from a vivid centre into considerably darker edges, creating a deep green burst effect that accentuates the curves of the body. Cream binding, a matching cream pickguard and zebra humbuckers provide the classic Les Paul Standard-inspired contrast, while chrome bridge hardware and gold-coloured control knobs complete the traditional look.
For players who love the familiar appearance of a Les Paul Standard but want something more unusual than traditional sunburst, cherry or black finishes, this green version offers a distinctive alternative.
Deep Green Figured Top
The standout feature of this guitar is its beautiful transparent green figured top.
Rather than covering the grain with an opaque colour, the finish allows the figuring underneath to remain highly visible. The result is a rippled, three-dimensional appearance that changes subtly across the surface of the guitar.
The centre uses a brighter emerald-style green, while the outer areas become substantially darker, producing a dramatic burst effect around the body.
This combination gives the guitar plenty of visual detail without moving too far away from the traditional Les Paul Standard aesthetic.
Classic Les Paul Standard Style Body
Underneath the unusual colour is the instantly recognisable Les Paul Standard-inspired single-cutaway design.
The rounded lower bout, carved-looking top and single upper cutaway create the familiar LP silhouette, while contrasting cream binding outlines the edge of the body.
It's a classic guitar shape paired with a much less conventional finish, making it particularly appealing for players who like traditional designs but want something that stands apart visually.
Zebra Humbucker Pickups
Two zebra-style humbuckers provide another classic-inspired detail.
Each pickup combines contrasting black and cream coils, matching particularly well with the cream pickguard, pickup surrounds and other appointments.
The dual-humbucker HH configuration provides separate bridge and neck pickup positions, along with the option of using both pickups together via the three-way selector switch.
Visually, the zebra pickups are an excellent match for this particular finish, providing more character than conventional all-black or fully covered humbuckers.
Traditional Three-Way Pickup Selector
A three-way toggle switch is positioned on the upper section of the body in the familiar Les Paul-style location.
This provides straightforward selection between the neck pickup, both pickups and bridge pickup, keeping the electronics layout instantly familiar to players accustomed to traditional dual-humbucker guitars.
The cream-coloured switch tip also ties in neatly with the pickguard, binding and pickup surrounds.
Four-Control Les Paul Layout
The guitar retains the familiar four-knob control arrangement associated with classic Les Paul designs.
Two volume and two tone controls allow the neck and bridge pickups to be adjusted independently, providing considerably more flexibility than a simplified master volume and tone configuration.
Gold-coloured top-hat-style knobs provide a warm contrast against the vivid green top while retaining the vintage-inspired appearance of a traditional Les Paul Standard.
Cream Pickguard & Binding
A large cream pickguard provides one of the strongest visual contrasts against the green body.
Matching cream pickup surrounds and body binding continue the colour around the instrument, helping to give the guitar a cohesive Standard-inspired appearance.
The lighter appointments are particularly effective against the darker green outer sections of the body.
Tune-o-Matic-Style Bridge & Stopbar
The hardware includes a Tune-o-matic-style bridge and stopbar tailpiece, maintaining the classic fixed-bridge LP configuration.
The chrome finish provides a neutral metallic contrast against the green, cream and gold-coloured components elsewhere on the guitar.
This straightforward fixed-bridge design also keeps the overall appearance much closer to a traditional Les Paul Standard than a tremolo-equipped variation would.
Dark Fingerboard with Trapezoid Inlays
A dark fingerboard runs along the neck and features the familiar trapezoid-style position inlays associated with classic LP designs.
The light-coloured inlays contrast clearly against the fingerboard, while binding along the neck continues the detailed appearance established around the body.
Together with the single-cutaway shape and four-control layout, these details reinforce the traditional Les Paul Standard-inspired character of the guitar.
A Different Take on the Traditional Les Paul Standard
Traditional Les Paul Standard guitars are often associated with heritage-inspired sunburst, amber and cherry finishes. This model takes the same general visual formula and gives it a considerably bolder identity.
The combination of a green figured top, darker green burst edges, zebra humbuckers and cream appointments creates something immediately recognisable as LP-inspired while still looking substantially different from more conventional versions.
That makes it particularly appealing for players who want classic styling without choosing one of the colours seen on countless other Les Paul-style guitars.

Why You'll Love It
The Green Les Paul Standard Style Guitar takes the familiar LP Standard formula and gives it a finish that immediately stands out.
