Epiphone Les Paul Standard '60s Bourbon Burst Electric Guitar

General

The legendary status of any '60s Les Paul is undeniably well grounded, which is exactly why they come at an antique-style price. Here, Epiphone offer a faithful ode to this classic model, at maybe a quarter of the price. Part of the Inspired By Gibson Collection, this electric, solid-body, single-cut guitar echoes the features of the original sixties models and takes a few cues from the more current Gibson Original Series. As such, you get treated to an Epiphone Kalamazoo headstock, a pair of fat ProBuckers, and a set of high-grade potentiometers.

The Les Paul Standard '60s: ProBucker Warmth & Bite

The Epiphone Les Paul Standard '60s lays down an authentically warm foundation sound thanks to the solid mahogany body, while the vaulted AA-quality flamed maple top and laurel fretboard complete the tasty vintage look. To add a little extra bite to this somewhat traditional base, a pair of ProBucker humbuckers have been mounted, where the second-edition ProBucker at the neck spits lightly thickened, PAF-style output and power, and the extra-brutal third-edition ProBucker at the bridge supports leads and riffs with fat definition.

CTS Pots, a LockTone ABR Tune-O-Matic & Grover Rotomatics

To provide that final, high-quality performance boost, Epiphone have backed up the electronics section of the LP STD '60s with a dependable set of CTS pots so you're assured of refined tone and volume tweaking. In terms of playability, you get the comfortable and familiar feel of a set-in mahogany neck and a SlimTaper 60s C-profile, and in terms of tuning and intonation, you get the full support of a stable LockTone ABR Tune-I-Matic bridge, a matching Stopbar tailpiece, and a set of high-accuracy Rotomatic machine heads courtesy of Grover.
