With the Original Les Paul series from the Inspired by Gibson collection, Epiphone brings another slice of authenticity closer to Gibson's vintage originals. Notable on the Les Paul Standard 50's Heritage Metallic Gold is the revised headstock, which matches the classic Epiphone headstock of the early '70s. The neck is shaped in a '59 Rounded C medium profile – a little beefier than the neck of the previous series. On board is a set of the proven Epiphone Probucker pickups. Epiphone has also upgraded the electronics: the pots are from the renowned manufacturer CTS and the wiring is executed in historically correct 50's wiring.

When you think of Epiphone you naturally think of Gibson, since the maker of guitars, basses, amplifiers and accessories has been part of that company since 1957. Epiphone mainly offers instruments in the lower to mid price range. That means beginners can pick up electric guitar and bass classics such as Les Paul, SG, Explorer, Firebird, ES-335 or Thunderbird for little money. There are also instruments from earlier Epiphone eras like Casino, Wildkat, Riviera and Wilshire. In particular, Epiphone's beginner sets for electric guitar, acoustic guitar and electric bass are worth a close look for newcomers.
