The long friendship between Epiphone and Mr. Les Paul began in 1940, when Les built one of the first solid-body electric guitars in the world while working night shifts at the original Epiphone factory in Manhattan. Les's first solid-body guitar, nicknamed "the Log," would inspire the Les Paul Standard, which many consider the greatest electric guitar ever made. The Les Paul Standard 60s models from the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson collection recreate the look, feel, and sound of early 1960s Les Pauls. They feature a mahogany body with a maple top, and models with translucent finishes have an additional AAA flamed maple veneer visible through the finish for that classic "flame top" look. The mahogany neck has a laurel fingerboard with pearloid trapezoid inlays, 22 medium jumbo frets, and a '60s SlimTaper profile for fast playing. The headstock is equipped with quality Grover® Rotomatic® tuners 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 is powered by a perfectly balanced set of Epiphone Probucker pickups, with a Probucker 2 in the neck position and a slightly hotter Probucker 3 in the bridge position, each connected to its own set of volume and tone controls featuring CTS® potentiometers. Available in a variety of attractive finishes and packed in a Premium gig bag, the Epiphone Les Paul Standard 60s is a great way to enjoy an authentic Les Paul playing experience at an affordable price.
