Les Paul Standard '60s Burbon Burst
The Les Paul Standard 60s models from Epiphone's new Inspired by Gibson Collection recreate the sound of 1960s era Les Pauls. Featuring a classic mahogany body with a Maple cap, Grover® tuners and powered by ProBucker humbuckers with CTS electronics. Epiphone's long friendship with Mr. Les Paul began in 1940 when Les built one of the world's first solid body 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, what many consider the greatest electric guitar ever made.
Featuring ProBucker humbuckers
The classic "P.A.F" sound is closer than you think
Epiphone's ProBucker humbucker has quietly become one of the most talked about pickups in the industry. It has fooled experts, vintage purists and even luthiers who have worked with the best vintage examples from the late 50s and early 60s. Epiphone ProBucker humbuckers are the real deal - made with 18% nickel silver unit bases and covers, the same alloy used by Gibson at the Kalamazoo factory when the humbucker was first invented. The use of nickel silver reduces the occurrence of eddy currents due to low conductivity and provides a more transparent and crisp output. The size and shape of the coils also have a big impact on the tonal response. And the coils used on ProBucker pickups replicate the size and shape of the industry gold standard, Gibson humbuckers. Epiphone ProBucker pickups also feature sand-cast Alnico II magnets, high-quality 4-conductor wire leads and are vacuum waxed to eliminate microphonics.
