Few guitars can claim the legendary status of the 1950s-era Gibson Les Paul™ Standards. Known among players and collectors as “Bursts,” these instruments are celebrated for their timeless beauty, smooth playability, and exceptional tone. They’ve been featured on countless hit recordings and played by some of the most iconic musicians on stages around the world. Now available at Sadek Music, the Epiphone Les Paul Standard 50s Figured from the Inspired by Gibson™ Collection pays tribute to those legendary guitars, faithfully recreating the look, feel, and sound of the 1950s Les Paul Standards. Epiphone’s long partnership with Les Paul began in 1940, when he built one of the world’s first solid-body electric guitars—nicknamed “The Log”—at the original Epiphone factory in Manhattan. This innovation would go on to inspire what many consider the greatest electric guitar ever made: the Les Paul Standard.
The Les Paul Standard 50s Figured is crafted with a mahogany body and a maple cap topped with a highly figured maple veneer, producing a rich, warm midrange tone with bright, articulate highs. A mahogany neck with a 1959 rounded medium C-profile and long neck tenon provides exceptional stability and sustain, while the rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets ensures smooth playability. Epiphone’s Vintage Deluxe tuners, Graph Tech® nut, and LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic™ bridge with Stop Bar tailpiece deliver superior tuning stability. Under the hood, the guitar features a pair of Epiphone ProBucker™ humbuckers—a ProBucker 1 in the neck and a hotter ProBucker 2 in the bridge—wired with CTS® pots and 50s-style wiring for vintage tonal character.
Packaged with a premium gig bag, the Epiphone Les Paul Standard 50s Figured offers players an authentic Les Paul experience—beautifully crafted, sonically inspiring, and proudly offered by Sadek Music.
