Epiphone "Inspired by Gibson" Les Paul Standard 50s Figured Top

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 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. 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 gig bag is also included.
