Epiphone Les Paul Standard 50’s Electric Guitar – Metallic Gold Epiphone

Our Take:

One of the most legendary instruments ever created gets an Epiphone-styled makeover with the Epiphone Les Paul Standard ’50s. Inspired by the infamous brainchild of guitarist Les Paul, the Epiphone Les Paul Standard ’50s is built to make you feel like you’re holding history in your hands, utilizing a mahogany body and maple cap, a ’50s shaped mahogany neck, Indian Laurel fingerboard with vintage trapezoidal inlays, and a pair of high-quality Epiphone ProBucker™ humbuckers. Shown here in a stunning Metallic Gold finish.

Epiphone’s Take:

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.
