’50s Les Paul Punch Without The ’50s Price
If you crave that fat, blooming Les Paul tone but do not have vintage Gibson money, this Epiphone Les Paul Standard ’50s hits that sweet spot. Mahogany body, carved maple cap, and ProBucker humbuckers give you the sound and feel of a classic without draining your rig budget.
Mahogany Growl And Maple Top Bite
The solid mahogany body gives you that thick, sustaining low end Les Pauls are famous for. Add the carved hard maple cap with AAA flame maple veneer and you get extra snap and clarity on top, so your chords stay defined when the amp is cooking.
The full gloss Heritage Cherry Sunburst finish and cream binding are pure old school cool. On a strap the 9 pound weight feels solid and reassuring, with enough mass to keep notes singing while still being manageable for a whole set.
’50s Rounded Neck That Feels Like Home
The 50s Rounded Medium C neck profile fills your hand in a satisfying way without turning into a baseball bat. Paired with the Indian laurel fingerboard, 12 inch radius, and medium jumbo frets, bends feel buttery and chords stay comfortable up and down the neck.
Epiphone rolled the neck edges, so it feels broken in from day one instead of sharp or clunky. It is the kind of neck you stop thinking about because it just gets out of the way and lets you play.
ProBucker Humbuckers With Real PAF Attitude
Epiphone ProBucker 1 and 2 humbuckers are the secret sauce here. They serve up that classic PAF style warmth and midrange push, but with enough top end bite to cut through a mix without getting harsh or muddy.
The 50s style wiring with CTS pots keeps your tone intact when you roll the volumes back. Ride your controls and you can go from glassy, articulate cleans to thick, saturated crunch without touching your amp. Real talk, for this price point it is hard to beat.
Rock Solid Hardware That Stays In Tune
The LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece lock up the feel and sustain, so every note has weight and focus. Epiphone Vintage Deluxe tuners with an 18 to 1 ratio and the Graph Tech NuBone nut keep tuning stable even when you dig in or bend big.
Nickel hardware, cream pickguard, and gold Top Hat knobs with dial pointers tie it all together visually. It looks like a proper Les Paul should when you walk on stage.
