Epiphone Les Paul Standard 50s Figured Bourbon Burst  Brand New from Japan

Description

The Epiphone Les Paul Standard 50s is a standout model in the Epiphone "Inspired by Gibson" collection, delivering the authentic feel and tone of a 1950s Les Paul.

Epiphone’s long-standing friendship with the legendary guitarist, musician, and inventor Les Paul dates back to the 1940s. As a young innovator, Les Paul spent countless nights at Epiphone’s Manhattan workshop, tirelessly experimenting and ultimately creating “The Log”—one of the first solid-body electric guitars in history. His groundbreaking work on The Log laid the foundation for what would become the Les Paul model, now regarded as one of the most iconic electric guitars of all time.

This exceptional instrument features a mahogany body with a maple cap, complemented by a stunning AAA flame maple veneer on the top. The neck is crafted from mahogany with a 1959 Rounded Medium C profile, offering a comfortable and classic feel. It is joined to the body using a long tenon set-neck construction, ensuring superior sustain and stability. The laurel fingerboard is adorned with traditional trapezoid inlays, and the Kalamazoo-style headstock is equipped with vintage deluxe tuners for precise tuning stability.

For electronics, this model is fitted with Epiphone ProBucker pickups—the ProBucker 1 in the neck position and the ProBucker 2 in the bridge—delivering the rich, warm, and articulate tones that define the Les Paul sound. The controls include two volume and two tone knobs featuring CTS potentiometers and 50s-style wiring for vintage-accurate response and dynamics. Additional premium features such as a Graph Tech nut, LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge, and LockTone stopbar tailpiece further enhance tuning stability, sustain, and playability.

This guitar comes with an Epiphone premium gig bag, ensuring safe and secure transport.
