Description

Edit description

Epiphone's Les Paul Standard LH is a left-handed tribute to the iconic guitars that defined rock 'n' roll. Crafted with a solid mahogany body and topped with AA flamed maple, this guitar beautifully balances warmth and clarity, perfect for any genre.

This model is equipped with Epiphone's ProBucker pickups—ProBucker-2 in the neck and ProBucker-3 at the bridge—delivering authentic vintage tones reminiscent of the revered PAF humbuckers. These pickups offer a versatile sound palette, from mellow blues to crunchy rock, ensuring your music is always full of character. The individual volume and tone controls allow for precise sound shaping, making it easy to find your unique voice.

Premium hardware complements this guitar's vintage aesthetics, featuring a Locktone ABR Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece for enhanced sustain and tuning stability. The Grover Rotomatic tuners ensure smooth and accurate tuning, so you're always ready to play your best.
