Epiphones long friendship with Mr. Les Paul began in 1940 when Les built one of the worlds first solid body electric guitars while working nights at the original Epiphone factory in Manhattan. Les first solid body guitar, nicknamed the Log, would go on to inspire the Les Paul Standard, which many consider the greatest electric guitar ever made.
The Les Paul Standard 60s models from the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Collection recreate the look, feel, and sound of the early 1960s-era Les Pauls. They feature a mahogany body with a maple cap, and the models with translucent finishes have an added AAA flame maple veneer visible through the finish for that classic flame top look. The mahogany neck sports a laurel fretboard with pearloid trapezoid inlays, 22 medium jumbo frets, and a fast-playing 60s SlimTaper profile. The headstock is equipped with quality Grover Rotomatic tuning machines and a Graph Tech nut for rock-solid tuning stability, so you can spend more time playing and less time tuning.
The Les Paul Standard 60s is powered by a perfectly balanced set of Epiphones acclaimed Probucker pickups, with a Probucker 2 in the neck position and a slightly hotter Probucker 3 in the bridge, and each pickup is wired to its own individual set of volume and tone controls that feature CTS potentiometers. Available in a variety of attractive finish colours and packaged in a Premium Gig Bag, the Epiphone Les Paul Standard 60s is a great way to enjoy an authentic Les Paul playing experience at an accessible price.
