Epiphone Les Paul Standard 50s GT LH

Epiphone Les Paul Standard 50s GT LH review

The Epiphone Les Paul Standard 50s GT LH is a left-handed, six-string electric guitar with a gold finish and a traditional single-cutaway design. Its listed price is $622, and the model has been available since June 2026. The specifications point to familiar Les Paul construction: a mahogany body, maple top, mahogany neck, and rosewood fingerboard. This review assesses those details and the included hardware, without relying on customer feedback. No customer reviews are available for this product.

Body, neck, and playing dimensions

The body is mahogany with a maple top and cream-colored binding. Epiphone lists the design as LP-style. The neck is also mahogany, with a 1959 rounded, medium C-shaped profile. That description gives a useful outline of the neck shape, but it does not provide measurements for the neck's depth at specific frets. Players who are particular about neck thickness should check those measurements with the seller before buying.

The scale length is 629 mm, or 24.75 inches, and the nut width is 43 mm, or 1.693 inches. The fingerboard is rosewood and has 22 frets. These figures establish the instrument's basic playing dimensions, but the supplied specifications do not state fret size, fingerboard radius, or the type of fret-end treatment. Those omissions make it difficult to compare the exact feel with another guitar based on the listing alone.

The left-handed orientation is the key practical distinction. The model is intended for left-handed players, rather than being a standard right-handed guitar described as suitable for either orientation. Buyers should still confirm that the controls, bridge, and included accessories match the exact left-handed version being ordered.

Pickups and controls

The guitar uses two humbucking pickups: an Epiphone ProBucker-1 at the neck and a ProBucker-2 at the bridge. The listing identifies both pickup positions and models, but does not provide output measurements, magnet details, or switching options. It therefore supports a clear description of the pickup layout, not a definitive prediction of how the guitar will sound through a particular amplifier or effects setup.

There are two volume controls and two tone controls, giving each pickup its own volume and tone adjustment. The electronics are listed as CTS components with 1950s-style wiring. That is a specific construction detail, though the available information does not explain the circuit's exact behavior or identify a capacitor value. The pickup system is dual humbucker, with no single-coil pickup listed.

Bridge, tuners, and included gear

A LockTone ABR bridge is paired with a stopbar tailpiece. Epiphone Vintage Deluxe tuning machines are listed for the headstock. The specifications do not state whether the bridge or nut receives any particular setup treatment, so buyers should not assume a specific action, intonation, or tuning stability out of the box. Those details depend on the individual instrument and its setup.

A premium gig bag is included. A hard case is not included, so the bag is the supplied protection for transport and storage. Players who need a rigid case should factor that additional purchase into the total cost. The product is sold as one piece, and its item number is 634335.

What the specifications establish

The listed materials and components make this a clearly defined left-handed Les Paul-style guitar: mahogany body and neck, maple top, rosewood fingerboard, two ProBucker humbuckers, and a four-control layout. Its 24.75-inch scale, 43 mm nut, and 22 frets provide concrete reference points for comparing it with other instruments. The gold finish, cream binding, and included gig bag are also confirmed by the listing.

There are limits to what can be concluded from the data. No weight, finish type, fretboard radius, detailed setup specifications, or acoustic measurements are provided. The available information also does not establish a particular tonal result or playing feel. Those points require hands-on assessment or further manufacturer details, rather than guesswork from the model name.

Verdict

At $622, the Epiphone Les Paul Standard 50s GT LH offers a left-handed configuration with a specified pair of ProBucker pickups, 1950s-style CTS wiring, an ABR-style bridge with stopbar tailpiece, and a premium gig bag. Its central appeal, based strictly on the listed features, is the combination of traditional Les Paul-style materials and recognizable hardware in a gold-finished, left-handed model. Check the setup and any missing measurements with the retailer if neck dimensions, weight, or case protection will affect your decision.
