Hearkening back to 1960s-era Les Pauls, the Epiphone Les Paul Standard '60s brims with vintage character and legendary rock 'n' roll vibe. Its resonant mahogany body is harmonically rich, and the maple top is full of clarity, punch, and snap. The Slim Taper '60s C profile neck is exceedingly comfortable, makes chording easy, and is perfect for pulling out buttery lead lines. Packed with Alnico ProBucker pickups, the Epiphone Les Paul Standard '60s has the bite and swagger that made Les Pauls a staple of '60s classic rock and blues. Premium appointments include kidney tuners, LockTone ABR Tune-o-matic bridge, and high-quality CTS electronics for an upscale Les Paul experience at a super-friendly priceavailable now from Music Experience.
The ProBuckers on the Les Paul Standard '60s feature Alnico II magnets the same as sought-after vintage PAF humbuckers for rich, warm tone with crystalline highs and a tight bottom. With a ProBucker-2 in the neck position and a (slightly overwound) ProBucker-3 in the bridge position, crank your gain, and you can do some serious damage. We're talking legendary Les Paul fat, snarling tone served up with exceptional sustain.
The Les Paul story started with an instrument called "The Log." In the early 1940s, on a quest for an electric guitar that would sustain for days, Les Paul the legendary guitarist and inventor fashioned what may well have been the first solidbody guitar from a length of common 4" x 4" lumber. For appearances (and possibly playing comfort), Les sawed an Epiphone hollowbody in half and attached the two "wings" to either side of The Log. Les continued to develop the idea through a series of prototypes, ultimately resulting in the classic solidbody guitar we know and love.
From rock to fusion and beyond, the Les Paul's surly snarl has virtually defined attitude-laden overdriven guitar tone. Legendary guitarists such as Jimmy Page, Al Di Meola, Alex Lifeson, Slash, and countless others have forged their signature sounds with a sunburst Les Paul. Epiphone now gives you the opportunity to experience that one-of-a-kind tone and look at an amazingly affordable price with the Les Paul Standard '60s. What's more, the Standard '60s comes with Epiphone's limited lifetime warranty and is backed by Gibson's 24/7/365 customer service so you know you're making a solid investment.
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® potentiometers. 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 solid body guitar, nicknamed "the Log", would go on to inspire the Les Paul Standard, which many consider the greatest electric guitar ever made.
