Epiphone

Description

Inspired by one of the most celebrated eras in electric guitar history, the Epiphone Les Paul Standard ’60s Figured electric guitar captures the sleek feel, refined tone and visual elegance of the late ’50s and early ’60s Les Paul Standards. Built with a mahogany body and maple cap topped by a highly figured maple veneer, it delivers the signature midrange authority and clarity that defined the era. A fast-playing SlimTaper ’60s C neck profile, smooth rosewood fingerboard and a pair of Epiphone ProBucker humbuckers complete a design that balances vintage character with modern playability. It is available in Lemon Burst and Dark Purple Burst finishes offered exclusively at Guitar Center.

Figured Maple Top With Classic Les Paul Construction

The foundation of the Les Paul Standard ’60s Figured begins with a mahogany body paired with a maple cap, producing the rich, sustaining voice that has made the Les Paul a studio and stage staple for decades. A highly figured maple veneer adds visual depth and elegance, delivering the look of a vintage burst-inspired instrument while retaining the tonal balance players expect. Single-ply binding along the top and fingerboard reinforces the guitar’s classic presentation.

ProBucker Humbuckers With Vintage-Inspired Wiring

Epiphone ProBucker pickups bring classic PAF-style tone to the Les Paul Standard ’60s Figured, with a ProBucker 2 in the neck position and a slightly hotter ProBucker 3 in the bridge. This pairing delivers warm cleans articulate midrange and singing sustain with enough output to push an amp naturally. Wired to individual volume and tone controls using CTS potentiometers, the electronics respond dynamically to touch and control adjustments.

SlimTaper ’60s Neck Profile for Fast Comfortable Playability

A mahogany neck with a SlimTaper ’60s C profile offers a noticeably sleeker feel than traditional ’50s necks, making it ideal for players who favor speed and fluid lead work. The long neck tenon enhances stability and sustain, while the rosewood fingerboard with pearloid trapezoid inlays provides a smooth responsive surface across all 22 medium-jumbo frets.

Road-Ready Hardware With Period-Correct Appointments

Reliable performance comes from Epiphone’s LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and LockTone stop bar tailpiece, helping maximize sustain while keeping intonation solid. Grover Rotomatic tuning machines and a Graph Tech nut provide consistent tuning stability, while gold Top Hat knobs with dial pointers complete the instrument’s unmistakable Les Paul aesthetic.

Epi LP 60's Dark Purple - Amazing!

Great guitar plays and sounds amazing, distorted or clean just amazing. I come to my local GC store convinced that I wanted the Lemon finish guitar, I saw the dark purple hanging from the wall with a direct light making it shine, beautiful purple better than the lemon one. If you are buying this dark purple model just because of the color, please don't or at least be aware that purple is not a color that all lights sources read the same. I'm keeping this one because it had an extra discount when I bought it and because it sounds amazing to my ears not because of the color. Be advised. See pics I added. 4 stars just because of the faulty color, not GCs fault.

Sharp frets

The top is beautiful on this guitar. Action was a mile high and neck was dead straight., fret ends are sharp. Makes me mad i have to do fret work on a new guitar. Pick guard came unbevled on the ends. If it wasn't for the awesome top I would return it. After a setup it does play well

    Light fret work and action setup with 9 guage strings. Plays exactly like the $2700 or more gibson lemon burst. No Qaulity Control issues. Every detail is executed perfectly. Fret ends were smooth ad well. For a great lemon burst this one is hard to beat

    Spent an entire Sunday on the hunt for a Les Paul. Went to 5 different shops, played 40+ Gibson & Epiphone models from a 1978 "The Paul" up to brand new models like this one. I didn't plug anything in unless it felt good in the hands first (which I highly recommend) & once I narrowed it down to my favorites, I played them through a Boss Katana & a few Fender amps. As far as the "bang for your buck" I went back & forth between this Purple Burst Standard model and a wine finished Modern Pro, both look amazing, but the Standard won it out in the end. Now the it's home & I've been playing it, I could not be happier. Excellent choice!
