Epiphones new Inspired by Gibson Collection proudly presents the Les Paul Standard 50s! This guitar lovingly recreates the feel and tone of the 1950s era Les Pauls. Epiphones long friendship with Mr. Les Paul began in 1940 when Les built one of the worlds 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. The guitar is crafted with a mahogany body, maple cap (AAA veneer on figured tops), bound 50s shaped mahogany neck with long neck tenon, Indian laurel fingerboard with classic trapezoid inlays, Epiphone's new Vintage Deluxe tuners, a pair of critically acclaimed Epiphone Pro.
Epiphone ProBucker pickups
Creamy rock sounds, expressive cleans and multi-faceted sound options are the clear strengths of the two Epiphone ProBucker humbuckers. While the Epiphone ProBucker-1 in the neck position shines with its reduced Output for a particularly wide dynamic range, which is ideal for differentiated Chords and expressive lead playing, the Epiphone ProBucker-2 in the bridge position provides a little more steam for clear, penetrating riffs from rock to high-gain metal. Both pickups have separate volume and tone controls.
LockTone hardware & Bigsby vibrato
The absolute highlight of the Epiphone Les Paul Standard '50s Bigsby Ebony is the eponymous Bigsby B-700 vibrato. The vibrato system, which is specially tailored to solidbody electric guitars with a curved top like the Les Paul, is installed behind the LockTone Tune-o-Matic bridge, which is firmly anchored in the body, and allows the use of shimmering vibrato sounds for a real vintage feel. The hardware equipment of the Epiphone Les Paul Standard '50s Bigsby Ebony is completed by six Epiphone Vintage Deluxe tuning machines with classic Keystone wings.
