Epiphone Les Paul Standard 50s (Late 2019) “Inspired by Gibson” Vintage Sunburst
Price: £400 – SOLD
Description:
This Epiphone Les Paul Standard 50s “Inspired by Gibson” in Vintage Sunburst is a fantastic example of the newer generation of Epiphone guitars designed with vintage-accurate specifications and the classic Les Paul feel. These 50s models were released toward the end of 2019 as part of Epiphone’s move toward more historically accurate features, delivering a “proper” Les Paul feel with rich, touch-sensitive vintage tones.
The Les Paul is, of course, one of the most iconic guitars in the world, used by countless guitar heroes over the years. This particular guitar was made in December 2019 at the Qingdao factory in China and has clearly been someone’s pride and joy. It has been used but kept in very good overall condition.
While it has the usual minor light play marks/light scratches (exaggerated in the photos as under direct lighting), and which is consistent with normal use, it has had a minor cosmetic repair to a small bump on the top of the headstock, (near the G string), where the paint was starting to crack/chip. This area has now been polished smooth and is now barely noticeable. There is also a small grazing to the back/side curve in between the strap button and jack socket. These cosmetic issues, along with the usual light play marks/scratches, do not affect playability or tone and are shown in the pictures and video.
The guitar has been professionally set up, with new D’Addario XL Nickel Wound strings (9-42 gauge), and plays beautifully with comfortable medium/low action.
I have sold a large number of Epiphones and Gibson guitars over the years, and the newer “Inspired by Gibson” 50s models are some of the best Epiphones produced in terms of feel, build quality, and vintage-accurate specifications.
Specifications / Features:
• Mahogany body with maple cap and figured maple veneer
• Long tenon neck joint for enhanced resonance
• Epiphone ProBucker humbuckers wired with 50s-style circuitry for dynamic, touch-sensitive vintage tones
• Epiphone Vintage Deluxe tuners
• Epiphone LockTone Tune-o-matic bridge
• Graph Tech nut
• Pearloid trapezoid inlays
• Wired to CTS potentiometers
• 50s wiring (2 Volume, 2 Tone controls like the originals)
• Epiphone knob pointer plate indicators
• Kalamazoo-style headstock
• No Weight Relief
Other than the minor cosmetic signs mentioned above, this is a well-built, modern Epiphone Les Paul that deserves to continue to be played and enjoyed. I can assure you if this becomes your new axe, you will not be disappointed!
