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 solid body guitar, nicknamed "The Log", would go on to inspire the Les Paul Standard, which many consider the best electric guitar ever made. The Les Paul Standard 60s models from the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Collection recreate the look, feel and sound of the early 1960s era Les Pauls. They feature a mahogany body with a maple cap, and the translucent finish models have an added AAA flame maple veneer visible through the finish for the classic flame top look. The mahogany neck features a laurel fingerboard with pearl trapezoid inlays, 22 medium jumbo frets and a fast-playing 60s SlimTaper profile. The headstock is equipped with quality Grover® Rotomatic® tuning screws and a Graph Tech® nut for rock-solid tuning stability so you can spend more time playing and less time tuning. The Les Paul Standard 60s are powered by a perfectly balanced set of Epiphone's acclaimed Probucker pickups, with a Probucker 2 in the neck position and a slightly warmer Probucker 3 in the bridge, and each pickup is coupled to its own individual set of volume and tone controls that feature CTS® potentiometers. Available in a range of attractive finish colors and packaged in a Premium Gig Bag, Epiphone Les Paul Standard 60s is a great way to enjoy an authentic Les Paul playing experience at an affordable price.
