New for 2013: Epiphonoe Les Paul Pro Models

Out of all of Les Paul’s many achievements—inventor, guitarist, hit recording artist—Les is most beloved among musicians for his Les Paul Standard, one of the most sought-after guitars in the world. And now, Epiphone has introduced the Limited Edition Les Paul Standard Quilt Top PRO and the Les Paul Standard Plustop PRO.

Epiphone and Les Paul

Epiphone’s history with legendary guitarist and innovator Les Paul dates back to the early 1940s when Les, working nights at the Epiphone factory on 14th Street in New York City, created his prototype solid body electric guitar, “The Log.” Over the next 15 years, Les continued to develop his dream guitar that would “sustain for days”. In the late ’50s, Epiphone’s historic Kalamazoo factory made that dream come true with the Les Paul Standard and its new pickup, the “PAF” humbucker.
