Description

The Epiphone Les Paul Standard 50s in Classic White brings the golden age of rock within easy reach, capturing the look, feel and sound of a late 1950s Les Paul in a stage ready, modern package. With a solid mahogany style body, maple cap, vintage voiced Probucker humbuckers and a comfortable 1959 Rounded Medium C neck profile, it is built to deliver thick, singing sustain and classic tones from blues and rock to indie and beyond. Part of Epiphone’s Inspired by Gibson collection, this model stays true to the original recipe with a long tenon set neck, era correct 50s wiring and quality CTS potentiometers for a smooth, musical response from every control. Finished in a timeless Classic White with cream appointments and nickel hardware, it looks every bit as iconic as it sounds. Vintage Inspired Feel and Playability The 1959 Rounded Medium C neck profile and 12 inch radius laurel fingerboard give this Les Paul a familiar, vintage style feel that is instantly comfortable. The glued in long tenon neck joint enhances sustain and resonance, while 22 medium jumbo frets make bends, vibrato and fast runs feel controlled and effortless. Cream binding along the neck adds a premium look and a smooth edge under your fretting hand. Classic Les Paul Tonewood Recipe A solid mahogany style body with a plain maple cap delivers the depth, warmth and punch that made the original Les Paul famous. The mahogany style back provides rich low mids and natural sustain, while the maple top adds clarity and definition so chords stay articulate and lead lines cut through a mix. The single ply cream binding around the top completes the unmistakable Les Paul silhouette. Probucker Pickups with 50s Wiring A pair of Epiphone Probucker humbuckers capture the character of vintage PAF style pickups, with open, dynamic tones that respond beautifully to your picking and volume control. The classic 2 volume, 2 tone layout is wired with CTS potentiometers and 50s style wiring, helping your sound stay clear and present as you roll back the controls. From smooth neck pickup jazz to biting bridge pickup rock, the Les Paul Standard 50s covers it all. Inspired by Gibson Details From the 60s Kalamazoo style headstock with mother of pearl Epiphone logo to the gold Top Hat knobs with dial pointers, every detail has been chosen to echo the golden era originals. Vintage Deluxe tuners and the LockTone Tune O Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece provide solid tuning stability and sustain, while nickel hardware and cream plastics complete the authentic, old school aesthetic. Key Features Mahogany Style Body with Maple Cap – The combination of an okoume or sapelli mahogany style body with a plain maple cap delivers the thick, sustaining voice associated with classic Les Paul models, with plenty of low mid warmth and enough top end snap to keep every note defined. 1959 Rounded Medium C Neck Profile – The bound mahogany neck with a 1959 Rounded Medium C profile offers a substantial yet comfortable feel that supports strong fretting hand technique, ideal for players who like to dig in for bends, vibrato and expressive phrasing.
