Epiphone’s Inspired by Gibson™ Collection proudly presents the EPIPHONE Inspired By Gibson Original Collection Les Paul Standard 50s Figured (EIGLP5GTNH1) solid body electric guitar. 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.
Les Paul Standard 50s Figured is crafted with a mahogany body with a maple cap, a bound 1959 Rounded Medium C-shaped mahogany neck with long neck tenon, laurel fretboard with classic trapezoid inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets, Epiphone Vintage Deluxe 18:1 ratio tuners, a pair of critically acclaimed Epiphone Probucker™ humbuckers™, and gold Top Hat knobs with dial pointers. This Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Original model also has the Kalamazoo headstock, Graph Tech® nut, era-appropriate wiring, and CTS® pots.
A premium gig bag is also included.
