Epiphone's long friendship with Mr. Les Paul began in 1940 when Les built one of the world's first full-body electric guitars while working nights in Epiphone's original Manhattan factory. Les' first solid-body guitar, nicknamed the Log, would inspire the Les Paul Standard, what many consider to be the best electric guitar ever made.
The '60s Les Paul Standard models from Epiphone's new Inspired by Gibson collection recreate the sound of '60s Les Pauls. They feature a classic mahogany body with a maple top, Grover® tuners and are powered by ProBucker™ humbuckers with CTS electronics.
