Overview

An electric guitar with vintage humbuckers for rich, warm tone.

Collaborating with Gibson Custom, Epiphone recreates the classic features that defined the original 1957 Les Paul Standard. This model boasts a solid mahogany body paired with a carved maple cap, finished in a striking Double Gold Vintage Gloss for timeless appeal. A '50s Rounded Medium C-shaped neck ensures smooth playability, while the long neck tenon enhances sustain. Equipped with premium hardware and Gibson Custombucker pickups, this guitar delivers the iconic tones that shaped rock and blues history. Its handwired electronics ensure exceptional sound fidelity, making it a standout instrument for players seeking vintage character.

Electric Guitar With Gibson Custombucker Pickups Delivers Iconic Vintage Tones

This guitar is equipped with dual Gibson Custombucker humbuckers, featuring Alnico III magnets for authentic 1957 Les Paul tonal characteristics. These pickups produce rich, warm lows and articulate highs, offering the dynamic range and clarity sought after by discerning players. Combined with CTS potentiometers and Luxe Bumblebee paper-in-oil capacitors, the electronics provide precise control over volume and tone. Whether dialing in smooth cleans or pushing the guitar into overdrive, the Custombuckers excel in delivering harmonically complex sounds. The carefully matched components ensure vintage-inspired performance that remains consistent and reliable.

Historically Accurate Gibson Design for Authentic Playability

The one-piece mahogany neck features a '50s Rounded Medium C profile that balances comfort and stability, catering to players who appreciate traditional neck shapes. Its bound rosewood fretboard with mother-of-pearl trapezoid inlays offers a smooth playing surface, while the 12" radius supports effortless chording and bending. The long neck tenon enhances resonance and sustain, ensuring that every note is rich and full-bodied. This historically inspired design, coupled with medium-jumbo frets, brings the feel of a vintage Les Paul to modern players while retaining its classic charm.

Premium Hardware Ensures Reliability and Precision

The Epiphone Les Paul Goldtop reissue features nickel-plated hardware, including an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and a Gibson Historic reissue aluminum stopbar tailpiece. These components provide precise intonation and exceptional tuning stability, even under demanding performance conditions. Epiphone Deluxe tuners with single-ring keystone buttons further enhance tuning accuracy while maintaining the instrument's vintage aesthetic. Combined with a Graph Tech nut, the hardware ensures consistent playability and reliability, allowing players to focus on their craft without worrying about maintenance or adjustments.

Vintage-Inspired Craftsmanship Meets Modern Durability

Designed with meticulous attention to detail, this guitar's mahogany body and carved maple cap offer both tonal depth and structural integrity. The durable Vintage Gloss finish provides a subtle aged appearance without compromising longevity. Even small details, such as historically accurate side dot markers and silkscreened gold lettering on the headstock, contribute to its authentic appeal. The included hardshell case, featuring a brown exterior and pink plush interior, ensures the guitar is protected during transport or storage, making it a dependable companion for gigging musicians and collectors alike.
