The head plate layer is black-dyed Holly.  The fingerboard position marker inlays are acrylic, while the Gibson logo at the head is Mother of Pearl, as was the original. The nut is Nylon. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardware includes a set of dual-line Gibson Deluxe tuners with plastic keystone buttons, an ABR-1 bridge, stop tailpiece, 50's style strap pins, a single-layer creme pickguard, pickup selector ring, aged switch tip, and gold Top Hat knobs.  The hardware also has the VOS treatment adding a light patina.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe electronics start with a set of BurstBuckers, 1 and 2 for the neck and bridge respectively. The controls are CTS 500K audio taper potentiometers, and the .022 mfd tone capacitors are Bumblebee style - actually polypropylene with striped casings. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eModel Naming and Finishes \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo 1957, the maple-topped version was referred to as the \"Les Paul model\", with the only available finish being Goldtop.  The black Les Paul Custom had a carved Mahogany top, while the Special and Junior had Mahogany slab bodies. For 1958, the Les Paul model became known as the Standard, and the now-iconic sunburst finishes became available. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"width: 100%;
