Epiphone - Les Paul Standard 50s Metallic Gold
These models in stock may be of interest to you:
With a mahogany body and neck, a maple top, mounted with ProBuckers and wired like in the 50s, this Les Paul Standard 50's represents the archetypal solid body, the "buche" that made the Les Paul series famous.
Presentation
Epiphone's Tune-O-Matic™ LockTone™ bridge plays a central role in this stability. Thanks to its secure fit, it provides even string tension. This is important for maintaining tuning even during intense performances.
The Stopbar tailpiece, combined with the LockTone™ bridge, acts as a solid base for optimal string vibrations. This configuration creates a resonance that enhances sustain.
This stability translates into consistent tones, even after strong riffs.
Epiphone Vintage Deluxe tuning machines, with a ratio of 18:1, facilitate precise tuning. This high ratio means greater sensitivity for precision tuning.
50s-inspired wiring and CTS® potentiometers provide tonal clarity with minimal signal loss.
The result is a pure rendition that highlights the nuances of ProBucker™ pickups. For example, the ProBucker™ 1 neck pickup produces deep, unaltered audios. The ProBucker™ 2 in the bridge gives punchy highs.
The body is mahogany with a AAA flamed maple cap amplifies the output. The neck, which is also mahogany, is topped with a laurel fingerboard for smooth playing.
