Overview

Few guitars can claim the legendary status of the 1950s-era Gibson Les Paul Standard. Celebrated for its beauty, smooth playability, and exceptional tone, it remains one of the most coveted vintage guitars ever made -- seen in the hands of countless artists on stages around the world and heard on iconic recordings across generations. The Epiphone Les Paul Standard '50s is an Inspired by Gibson Collection tribute that faithfully recreates the feel and tone of those legendary instruments.

Epiphone's long-standing relationship with Mr. Les Paul dates back to 1940, when Les built one of the world's first solidbody electric guitars while working nights at the original Epiphone factory in Manhattan. That instrument -- nicknamed "The Log" -- would go on to inspire the Les Paul Standard, widely regarded as one of the greatest electric guitars of all time.

The Les Paul Standard '50s features a mahogany body with a maple cap, delivering the rich midrange warmth of mahogany paired with the clarity and brightness of maple -- an essential part of the Les Paul's signature sound.

The mahogany neck features a 1959 Rounded Medium C profile and a long neck tenon for enhanced stability and sustain. The rosewood fretboard is adorned with pearloid trapezoid inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets for a classic look and feel.

At the headstock, Epiphone Vintage Deluxe tuners and a Graph Tech nut provide reliable tuning stability. On the body, a LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece ensure… read more solid intonation and sustain.

Electronics include a pair of critically acclaimed Epiphone ProBucker humbuckers, with a ProBucker 1 in the neck position and a slightly hotter ProBucker 2 in the bridge for balanced, versatile tone across all switch positions. The pickups are wired to CTS potentiometers using 50s-style wiring, and the controls are finished with gold Top Hat knobs with dial pointers. The Les Paul Standard '50s stands as a fitting and accessible tribute to a true icon -- built for players at every stage. A premium gig bag is included.
