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 first Epiphone
factory in Manhattan. Les' first solid-body guitar, nicknamed the Log, would inspire the Les Paul Standard, which many consider to be the greatest electric guitar ever made.
The 50s Les Paul Standard models are part of Epiphone's new Inspired by Gibson collection and recreate the sound of the 50s Les Pauls. They feature a classic mahogany body with a maple crown and a mahogany neck with long tenon. Powered by ProBucker™ humbuckers with 50s-style wiring and CTS electronics.
