Epiphone Les Paul Standard '60s

The Les Paul Standard 60s models from Epiphone's new Inspired by Gibson Collection recreate the sound of 1960s Les Pauls.

The guitar features a classic mahogany body with a maple top, Grover® tuners and ProBucker ™ humbuckers with CTS electronics.

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 original Epiphone factory in Manhattan.

Les' first solidbody guitar, nicknamed " the Log ", went on to inspire the Les Paul Standard, what many consider the greatest electric guitar ever made.

With ProBucker™ humbuckers, the classic "PAF" sound is closer than you think.

Epiphone's ProBucker™ humbucker has quietly become one of the most talked about pickups in the industry. It has fooled experts, vintage purists and even guitar builders who have worked with the best vintage examples from the late 50s and early 60s.

Epiphone ProBucker™ humbuckers are "the real deal" - made with 18% nickel silver unit and covers, the same alloy used by Gibson at the Kalamazoo factory when the humbucker was invented.

Using nickel silver reduces the occurrence of fault currents due to low conductivity and provides a more transparent and sharp output.

The size and shape of the coils also greatly influence tonal response. And the coils used on ProBucker™ pickups duplicate the size and shape of the Gibson humbuckers which are the industry standard in the industry.

Epiphone ProBucker™ pickups feature sand-cast Alnico II magnets, high quality 4-conductor lead wire and are vacuum wax mounted to eliminate microphonics.
