The beautiful patterns of flame maple have distinguished the Gibson Les Paul Standard since the late 1950s, and the Les Paul Supreme takes it to the next level, with a carved, flame maple back as
well as a flame top. Multiple binding and elaborate pearl inlays make this truly the Supreme creation in the Les Paul family.
