Epiphone Les Paul Standard 50s Goldtop

Available from Gear4Music at £599.00 ($761).

The Epiphone Les Paul Standard 50s Goldtop pays tribute to the guitars that shaped the sound of the late 50s. Built with a mahogany body and maple cap it captures the unmistakable blend of warmth punch and harmonic richness that made those early models so iconic. Finished in a stunning Goldtop and featuring vintage-inspired appointments it brings the look feel and tone of a classic Les Paul into an accessible modern instrument. The 1959 Rounded Medium C neck profile offers a beautifully solid hand-filling feel that encourages smooth lead work and chunky rhythm playing alike. A rosewood fingerboard with pearloid trapezoid inlays and 22 medium-jumbo frets gives it proper vintage character while the long neck tenon enhances sustain and resonance. ProBucker pickups provide a balanced articulate voice with a ProBucker 1 in the neck and a slightly hotter ProBucker 2 in the bridge. Combined with 50s wiring and CTS pots you get dynamic control and rich expressive tones that clean up beautifully. With LockTone hardware and Vintage Deluxe tuners this is a faithful 50s-style Les Paul ready for any stage.
