Epiphone Inspired By Les Paul Standard '50s Bourbon Burst - EIGLP5BONHR

Classic Les Paul Feel with Balanced Vintage Output

The Epiphone Inspired By Les Paul Standard '50s Bourbon Burst delivers the core elements of a classic Les Paul, combining a mahogany body with a maple cap for a tone that balances warmth, sustain, and clarity. The figured maple veneer adds visual depth without changing the fundamental response, keeping the focus on that familiar midrange push and rounded low end.

The 1959 Rounded Medium C neck profile feels full and supportive in the hand, encouraging a more relaxed grip, while the 12" radius and medium jumbo frets allow for controlled bends and smooth lead work. The long tenon neck joint adds stability and helps transfer vibration more effectively through the body.

The ProBucker 1 and 2 pickups are voiced to sit comfortably in a vintage output range. The neck remains warm and open without becoming muddy, while the bridge adds bite and definition without sounding overly sharp. Combined with CTS pots and 50s wiring, the controls respond gradually, making it easier to shape tone directly from the guitar. The LockTone bridge and stopbar keep everything stable under heavy playing while maintaining sustain and tuning consistency.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this is a strong option for players who want traditional Les Paul feel and tone, giving you a versatile platform that handles both clean and driven sounds with ease.
