A Faithful Reinterpretation of the Original Les Pauls

Designed in the spirit of the first solidbodies, this Epiphone "Inspired by Gibson" celebrates the golden era of the 1950s. Its Goldtop finish, Kalamazoo-style aesthetics, and luthiery choices respect the DNA of the historic model, while benefiting from modern, stable, and reliable manufacturing for both stage and studio use.

Who Is It For and What Styles?

Versatile and comfortable, the Les Paul Standard 50s suits ambitious beginners as well as experienced guitarists. It excels in blues, rock, pop, and soul, and can handle heavier styles thanks to the ProBucker 2 at the bridge. The 50s rounded neck favors full rhythms, vintage riffs, and singing sustain solos.

Sound

The mahogany/maple combination delivers rich mids, dense lows, and precise highs. Inspired by PAFs, the ProBuckers offer an organic tone: the ProBucker 1 provides warmth and roundness, while the ProBucker 2 adds attack and bite. The "50s style" wiring with CTS potentiometers preserves highs when lowering the volume, and the 3-position selector allows expressive nuances, especially in the middle position. The long tenon joint and LockTone hardware optimize vibration transfer for generous sustain.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

A set of nickel electric strings 10-46 is perfectly suited to the 24.75" / 628.65 mm scale length. For transportation, prefer a molded hard case "Les Paul" with a single cutaway, as a complement to the included gig bag. Add a quality adjustable strap for secure support in rehearsals and on stage.
