Description
Epiphone’s long friendship with Mr Les Paul began in 1940 when Les built one of the world’s first solid body electric guitars by working nights on the first Epiphone
factory in Manhattan. Les’ first solid-body guitar, nicknamed the Log, was to inspire the Les Paul Standard, which many consider to be the greatest electric guitar ever made.
The 50s Les Paul Standard models are part of Epiphone’s new Inspired by Gibson collection and recreate the sound of the Les Pauls of the 50s. They feature a classic mahogany body with a maple cap and a mahogany neck with long tenon. Powered by ProBucker humbuckers with 50s-style cabling and CTS electronics.
Available in metallic gold, Vintage Sunburst and Heritage Cherry Sunburst.
