Epiphone Les Paul Standard 60s Inspired by Gibson, Ebony

The Epiphone Les Paul Standard '60s in Ebony is a sleek, no-nonsense rock machine that pays tribute to one of the most legendary guitars ever made—with all the look, feel, and fiery tone of a true vintage classic, reimagined for today’s player. Part of Epiphone’s acclaimed “Inspired by Gibson” collection, this Les Paul delivers stunning authenticity in both build and sound—without the hefty price tag.

With its mahogany body, maple cap, and gloss Ebony finish, the guitar looks every bit as bold and commanding as its Gibson counterpart. That high-gloss black is pure rock ‘n’ roll attitude—timeless and brutally beautiful—accented by cream binding, trapezoid inlays, and vintage-style hardware.

The neck is a slim taper '60s C-profile, set into the body with classic Les Paul glue-in construction for sustain that sings. Topped with an Indian laurel fingerboard and 22 medium jumbo frets, this is a neck that feels fast and familiar—ideal for expressive leads, tight rhythm work, and everything in between.

Powering the tone are Epiphone ProBucker humbuckers, voiced to emulate the revered PAFs of the golden era. They deliver creamy mids, clear top end, and that unmistakable LP growl when cranked. The guitar also features CTS pots, a Switchcraft toggle, and full-size electronics, giving you a vintage-correct control setup with all the tone-shaping power you need.

Tuning stability is rock solid thanks to the LockTone Tune-o-Matic bridge, stopbar tailpiece, and vintage-style tuners. And at Musicmaker, we’re always quick to recommend this model to players chasing that classic LP feel—with modern reliability and serious value baked in.
