Epiphone Les Paul Standard 1960s – Ebony
The Epiphone Les Paul Standard 1960s is for players who want the real Les Paul feel without pretending they’ve got Custom Shop money. This isn’t a fashion piece — it’s a workhorse built to honour the golden-era Gibson Les Pauls, specifically that fast-neck, punchy-tone magic of the early ’60s.
Finished in Ebony, it’s clean, classy, and timeless. No flashy nonsense. Just proper rock-and-roll energy.
Why This Guitar Hits
-
Mahogany body with maple cap – The classic Les Paul recipe. Thick lows, strong mids, and enough snap on top to cut through a mix.
-
60s SlimTaper™ neck profile – Faster and slimmer than a ’50s neck. Perfect if you actually move around the fretboard instead of camping in first position.
-
Laurel fingerboard – Smooth feel, solid response, and stable under Australian conditions. Does the job properly.
-
Probucker™ humbuckers (2 & 3) – Vintage-voiced, Alnico pickups with clarity and bite. Clean up nicely, growl when pushed.
-
CTS pots & Mallory capacitors – This is the good stuff. Better sweep, better tone control, none of that cheap, dead-feeling electronics.
-
LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic bridge & stopbar – Rock-solid tuning stability and sustain for days.
