Epiphone’s new Inspired by Gibson™ Collection proudly presents
the Les Paul™ Standard 50s! This guitar lovingly recreates the
feel and tone of the 1950s era Les Pauls. Epiphone’s long
friendship with Mr. Les Paul began in 1940 when Les built one of
the world’s first solidbody electric guitars while working nights
at the original Epiphone factory in Manhattan. Les’ first
solidbody guitar, nicknamed “the Log”, would go on to inspire the
Les Paul Standard, which many consider the greatest electric
guitar ever made. The guitar is crafted with a mahogany body,
maple cap (AAA veneer on figured tops), bound 50s shaped mahogany
neck with long neck tenon, Indian laurel fingerboard with classic
trapezoid inlays, Epiphone's new Vintage Deluxe tuners, a pair of
critically acclaimed Epiphone ProBucker™ humbuckers™, and gold
Top Hat knobs with dial pointers. Available in Metallic Gold,
Vintage Sunburst, and Heritage Cherry Sunburst full-gloss
finishes. This Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Original model also
has the Kalamazoo headstock, rolled neck for a comfortable feel,
Graph Tech® NuBone® nut, era-appropriate wiring, and CTS® pots.
Optional hardshell or EpiLite™ case is available.
