Description
Epiphone's Les Paul Standard '50s model is a part of the all-new Inspired by Gibson Collection, which recreate the sound and style of 1950s-era Les Pauls. With a maple-capped mahogany body, cream binding on the body and neck, and a set of exceptional ProBucker pickups, you get classic Gibson looks and tone without breaking your bank account. The vintage "P.A.F." sound LP aficionados love is on full display with the ProBucker humbuckers, thanks to '50s style wiring, CTS electronics, and 18% nickel silver unit bases and covers, which is the same alloy originally used by Gibson at the Kalamazoo factory. And if you love fifties Les Pauls, you expect a thicker neck profile, and thanks to a '59 Rounded Medium C shape, you get a substantial in-hand feel plus a 12" radius fingerboard and 22 medium jumbo frets to top it off. If you love the style and sound of fifties Les Pauls at an affordable price, then Epiphone's Les Paul Standard '50s is right up your alley!
