Genuine '60s Les Paul Vibes Await
Take a trip back to a decade filled with excellent music and the rise of rock guitar tone — time machine optional. The Epiphone Les Paul Standard '60s oozes with classic Les Paul character, complete with such appointments as a traditional mahogany body and a maple top that delivers the iconic blend of harmonically rich sustain and familiar snappy clarity. Meanwhile, a '60s rounded C-shaped mahogany neck with laurel fingerboard welcomes your fret hand — this comfortable profile makes both chording and lead work feel effortless. Speaking of rock guitar tone, the PAF-inspired ProBucker pickups accurately track every nuance of your playing with beautiful harmonic overtones. Finally, traditional kidney bean Grover tuners, Tune-o-matic bridge, CTS potentiometers, and a Graph Tech nut round out the Les Paul Standard '60s.
ProBucker pickups dish out genuine vintage soul
The ProBucker duo on the Les Paul Standard ’60s features Alnico II magnets — the same as sought-after vintage PAF humbuckers. These pickups emit a rich, warm tone with crystalline highs and a tight bottom end, characteristics favored by vintage tone aficionados at Sweetwater. The ProBucker 2 in the bridge position delivers classic PAF tone that is adaptable for all styles of music. Its top end helps cut through a full band mix while remaining articulate enough to let every nuanced pick attack leap out. The ProBucker 1 in the neck position is all about vintage smoothness, refining your sound with a sense of warmth and openness that makes your audiences swoon.

The Tune-o-matic bridge and Grover tuners with a high turning ratio help keep your strings in tune throughout the night, whether you’re playing onstage or practicing at home. The Graph Tech TUSQ nut, constructed of organic ivory, brings out extra harmonic richness and sustain from your guitar, further enhancing its Les Paul standing. Lastly, quality CTS pots put you in the driver's seat of your guitar settings.
