Description

Epiphone’s 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 solid-body electric guitars while working nights at the original Epiphone factory in Manhattan. Les’ first solid-body guitar, nicknamed « the Log, » would go on to inspire the Les Paul Standard, which many consider the greatest electric guitar ever made.
This guitar is crafted with a mahogany body, maple cap with AAA flame maple veneer, bound ’59 rounded medium C shaped mahogany neck with long neck tenon, laurel fretboard with classic trapezoid inlays, Epiphone’s vintage deluxe tuners, a pair of critically acclaimed Epiphone Probucker humbuckers and gold top hat knobs with dial pointers. This Epiphone Inspired by Gibson original model also has the Kalamazoo headstock, Graph tech® nut, era-appropriate wiring and CTS® pots. A premium gigbag is also included.
