Epiphone EILS5LHSNH1 Les Paul Standard '50s Left Handed Electric Guitar - Heritage Cherry Sunburst

A Time-traveling Tone Machine

The Epiphone Les Paul Standard ’50s brings you the iconic look and sound of 1950s-era Les Pauls, offering vintage character and a classic rock ‘n’ roll vibe. The warm resonance of its mahogany body, paired with a punchy maple top, delivers a perfect balance of warmth and clarity. The comfortable ’59 Rounded Medium C neck fits your hand perfectly, providing easy chording and smooth fret runs for versatile playability. Sadek Musical, we know that tone and craftsmanship matter. Powered by Epiphone’s Alnico ProBucker pickups, the Les Paul Standard ’50s delivers a distinctive rock ‘n’ roll growl when pushed, while offering a smooth and warm top end when you want to lay back. This is the guitar that captures the essence of classic rock, and we’re proud to offer it to our customers.

A universe of tone with ProBucker pickups

The ProBuckers on the Les Paul Standard ’50s feature Alnico II magnets — the same as sought-after vintage PAF humbuckers — for rich, warm tone with crystalline highs and a tight bottom. With a ProBucker-2 in the neck position and a (slightly overwound) ProBucker-3 in the bridge position, crank your gain, and you can do some serious damage. We’re talking legendary Les Paul — fat, snarling tone served up with exceptional sustain. The Sadek Musical, we understand that you want more than just a guitar; you want a machine that delivers legendary sound. Crank up the gain on the Les Paul Standard ’50s, and you'll experience fat, snarling tones with exceptional sustain—everything you'd expect from a classic Les Paul. Whether you're shredding solos or delivering powerhouse rhythm, this guitar gives you the punch and growl you crave.

The Les Paul backstory

The Les Paul story started with an instrument called “The Log.” In the early 1940s, on a quest for an electric guitar that would sustain for days, Les Paul — the legendary guitarist and inventor — fashioned what may well have been the first solidbody guitar from a length of common 4" x 4" lumber. For appearances (and possibly playing comfort), Les sawed an Epiphone hollowbody in half and attached the two “wings” to either side of The Log. Les continued to develop the idea through a series of prototypes, ultimately resulting in the classic solidbody guitar we know and love. Sadek Musical, we celebrate the legacy of this pioneering instrument. From those early prototypes to the fully realized solidbody Les Paul design, the Les Paul guitar has gone on to shape the sound of generations of musicians. We’re proud to carry the Epiphone Les Paul Standard ’50s, a modern take on the classic design that still carries the soul of Les Paul's groundbreaking invention.

With a Les Paul, you’re in good company

From rock to fusion and beyond, the Les Paul’s surly snarl has virtually defined attitude-laden overdriven guitar tone.
