Product Description

The Real-Deal Les Paul Vibe

There’s a reason the Les Paul has been a rock and blues icon for decades, and this Epiphone Standard 50s nails that classic formula. From the moment you pick it up, the solid mahogany body and carved maple top with that stunning flame maple veneer just feels right. This isn’t just a guitar; it’s a piece of history brought back to life, delivering the tone and feel that inspired generations of players.

Vintage Tone Engine

The heart of this Les Paul is the set of ProBucker pickups, with a ProBucker 1 in the neck and a ProBucker 2 in the bridge. These are Epiphone’s take on the legendary PAF humbuckers, built with Alnico II magnets for a warm, rich, and articulate voice. Paired with top-shelf CTS potentiometers and 50s-style wiring, you get incredible clarity and responsiveness. Roll back the volume, and the tone cleans up beautifully without getting muddy, giving you a huge range of sounds right at your fingertips.

Feels Like an Old Friend

The neck is where you connect with the instrument, and the 1959 Rounded Medium C profile on this guitar is pure comfort. It’s a substantial, satisfying shape that fills the hand perfectly, making it a joy for chording or lead work. The long tenon set-neck construction isn’t just a vintage detail; it’s a key ingredient for the massive sustain this guitar is capable of. Add in the smooth rosewood fingerboard with classic pearloid trapezoid inlays, and you’ve got a playing experience that’s second to none.

Rock-Solid and Ready to Gig

From the LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece to the Epiphone Vintage Deluxe tuners, every piece of hardware is built for stability and performance. This guitar stays in tune, intonates perfectly, and is ready for the stage or the studio right out of the box. The Washed Cherry Sunburst finish and full cream binding complete the timeless look. It even ships with a premium gig bag to keep it protected.

Anatomy of a Tone Machine

Perfect for: Classic Rock • Blues • Hard Rock • Southern Rock

Tone

The ProBucker 2 bridge pickup delivers that classic PAF bite and top-end chime, perfect for cutting through a mix with crunchy riffs and searing solos.
In the neck position, the ProBucker 1 is warm, vocal, and buttery, offering smooth, articulate tones for bluesy leads or full-bodied rhythm playing.
The middle position offers a beautiful, open-sounding blend with a slight scoop, giving you a fantastic rhythm tone that's both clear and complex.
Thanks to the 50s wiring and CTS pots, the controls are incredibly interactive, allowing for subtle shades of grit and color just by working the volume and tone knobs.

Playing Feel

The classic single-cutaway mahogany body offers a balanced, substantial feel that players have loved for generations.
The '59 Rounded Medium C neck profile is a comfortable handful, providing excellent support for your fretting hand without feeling too chunky.
The long tenon set neck construction translates to a lively, resonant feel, where you can feel notes and chords sustain through the entire body.
This is a guitar that feels solid and dependable, inspiring confidence for long gigs or recording sessions.

Versatility

Excels at everything from warm, jazzy cleans to aggressive, high-gain rock and metal, showcasing its incredible tonal range.
The Alnico II ProBuckers provide a fantastic platform for pedals, responding beautifully to boosts, overdrives, and fuzzes.
In the studio, it's a workhorse, capable of laying down thick rhythm tracks and soaring lead lines that sit perfectly in the mix.
The strong midrange presence ensures this guitar never gets lost, whether you're in a dense band mix or tracking multiple guitar parts.

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

They get you remarkably close to that classic PAF tone. Epiphone designed the ProBuckers with Alnico II magnets, just like the originals, to capture that warm, airy, and articulate character. While Gibson’s might have a touch more complexity, the ProBuckers deliver that iconic Les Paul grit and sweetness at an incredible value.

The long tenon is a vintage construction method where the neck joint extends further into the body cavity, making more contact with the body wood. This significantly improves sustain and resonance. You can feel it when you play; notes ring out longer and the whole guitar feels more ‘alive’ and connected.

Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
