Our take on the "Inspired by Gibson Collection" Les Paul Standard 50's

The Epiphone Les Paul Standard 50s is a single-cutaway electric guitar built to vintage spec: a mahogany body with a maple cap, a bound '59 Rounded Medium C mahogany neck with a long tenon, and a 12-inch laurel fretboard with trapezoid inlays. Two ProBucker humbuckers, CTS pots and era-appropriate wiring give it the warm, thick Les Paul voice, and the Kalamazoo headstock and Graph Tech nut round out the period look. It suits players who want classic Les Paul feel and tone without paying Custom Shop money, and it competes directly with other import single-cuts on hardware and electronics rather than flash. A premium gig bag is included.

About the "Inspired by Gibson Collection" Les Paul Standard 50's

The Epiphone Les Paul Standard 50s is part of the Inspired by Gibson Collection. It recreates the feel and tone of 1950s-era Les Pauls. It has a mahogany body with a maple cap and a Cardinal Red gloss finish.

The neck is a bound 1959 rounded medium C-shaped mahogany neck with a long neck tenon. The 12" radius Indian laurel fingerboard has pearloid trapezoid inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets. The guitar also has a Kalamazoo headstock, a Graph Tech nut, era-appropriate wiring and CTS pots.

Two Epiphone ProBucker humbuckers handle the sound, with a 3-way toggle switch and volume and tone controls for each pickup. Gold Top Hat knobs have dial pointers. A premium gig bag is included.

Questions and answers

How does it compare with a Gibson Les Paul Standard?
It copies the '50s recipe — mahogany body, maple cap, long-tenon set neck, two humbuckers — at import build and parts quality. Expect the same feel and voice, not the same materials or resale.
Are the ProBucker pickups good?
Yes. They are widely regarded as the best stock pickups in this price class, voiced close to vintage PAFs with enough output for rock.
Is the neck thick?
It is a '59 Rounded Medium C — fuller than a slim taper but not a baseball bat. Players with smaller hands usually still find it comfortable.
What is included in the box?
The guitar and a premium gig bag. A truss rod wrench is typically included; a stand, strap and cable are not.
Is it good for beginners?
It is a solid first serious electric, but the weight and vintage neck suit players who have tried a Les Paul-style guitar before.
Does it stay in tune?
With the Graph Tech nut and Vintage Deluxe tuners, tuning is stable once the nut is lubed and the strings are stretched.
