Epiphone EIGLP5-WC Les Paul Standard 50s Washed Cherry Sunburst

The Epiphone EIGLP5-WC Les Paul Standard 50s Washed Cherry Sunburst recreates the character of legendary 1950s-era Les Paul Standards. Inspired by the iconic “Bursts,” this model combines classic construction with reliable modern components. Furthermore, the Washed Cherry Sunburst finish complements the highly figured flame maple veneer.
The mahogany body provides rich midrange punch and warmth. Meanwhile, the maple cap adds brightness and definition to the guitar’s overall tone. The highly figured flame maple veneer also creates a striking appearance. Consequently, players receive classic Les Paul character with an eye-catching finish.
The mahogany neck features a 1959 Rounded Medium C profile and long tenon construction. This combination provides a substantial playing feel with exceptional stability. Additionally, the long tenon contributes to the guitar’s sustain and supports its solid construction.
The bound rosewood fretboard features 22 medium jumbo frets and pearloid trapezoid inlays. Its 12-inch radius supports comfortable chord playing and expressive string bends. Furthermore, the 24.75-inch scale length provides the familiar response associated with traditional Les Paul guitars.
A ProBucker 1 pickup sits in the neck position, while a slightly hotter ProBucker 2 powers the bridge. Together, these humbuckers deliver balanced tones across all three pickup positions. Additionally, CTS potentiometers and 50s-style wiring provide responsive control over the guitar’s tonal character.
Gold Top Hat knobs with dial pointers complete the control layout. Meanwhile, Epiphone Vintage Deluxe tuning machines and a Graph Tech nut support solid tuning stability. The LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge also provides reliable string positioning and adjustment.
The LockTone Stop Bar tailpiece anchors the strings securely and supports sustain. Finally, the Epiphone EIGLP5-WC Les Paul Standard 50s Washed Cherry Sunburst includes a premium gig bag. Therefore, players can protect and transport this classic-inspired instrument with greater convenience.
