For appearances (and possibly playing comfort), Les sawed an Epiphone hollowbody in half and attached the two “wings” to either side of The Log. Les continued to develop the idea through a series of prototypes, ultimately resulting in the classic solidbody guitar we know and love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWith a Les Paul, you’re in good company\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom rock to fusion and beyond, the Les Paul’s surly snarl has virtually defined attitude-laden overdriven guitar tone. Legendary guitarists such as Jimmy Page, Al Di Meola, Alex Lifeson, Slash, and countless others have forged their signature sounds with a sunburst Les Paul. Epiphone now gives you the opportunity to experience that one-of-a-kind tone and look at an amazingly affordable price with the Les Paul Standard ’50s. What’s more, the Standard ’50s comes with Epiphone’s limited lifetime warranty and is backed by Gibson’s 24\/7\/365 customer service — so you know you’re making a solid investment.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat Epiphone Says...\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFew guitars can claim the legendary status of the 50s-era Gibson Les Paul™ Standards. Acclaimed for their beauty, smooth playability, and exceptional tone, they are among the most cherished vintage guitars on the planet, having been seen in the hands of countless musicians on concert stages worldwide and featured on numerous hit recordings. Now, Epiphone is proud to introduce the updated Les Paul Standard 50s, an Inspired by Gibson tribute to those legendary guitars that lovingly recreates the feel and tone of the 50s-era Les Paul Standards. 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. The Les Paul Standard 50s is crafted with a mahogany body and a maple cap, delivering the rich midrange punch of mahogany along with a touch of brightness from the maple cap, which is essential to the sonic signature of a Les Paul Standard. It also has a mahogany neck with a 1959 Rounded Medium C-profile and long neck tenon for exceptional stability and added sustain. The fretboard is now rosewood and features pearloid trapezoid inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets. The Kalamazoo headstock is equipped with Epiphone’s Vintage Deluxe tuners and a Graph Tech® nut, ensuring solid tuning stability, while the other ends of the strings pass over an Epiphone LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and are anchored with a LockTone Stop Bar tailpiece. The Les Paul Standard 50s is powered by a pair of critically acclaimed Epiphone ProBucker™ humbuckers™, with a ProBucker 1 in the neck position and a slightly hotter ProBucker 2 in the bridge for a balanced tone in all three switch positions. The pickups are wired to CTS® pots using 50s-style wiring, and the controls are topped with gold Top Hat knobs with dial pointers. A premium gig bag is also included. The Les Paul Standard 50s is a fitting and accessible tribute to a legendary guitar that players at every stage can enjoy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n[tabs]
