how could they have guessed Les Paul product would become the Strad of the guitar in the late 60s?

 

they had a great run....

 

 

The Les Paul was crap by the late sixties.save for the reissue of a 52 deluxe in 1968 at the request of Clapton oless.. 1959 was the year and 1960 too a degree.

Price a 1959 sunburst les paul standard. If it's under six figures. Then it's got major issues

Epiphone makes great guitars at a fraction of the cost of a Gibson.  I own a few and I love my Epi LP Ultra.

 Epiphone is part of Gibson started way back when for people that thought Gibsons were too pricey. Great marketing then. They made some kick ass guitars in particular the Rivera, the Casino., and the Rivioli Bass . In the early days of epiphone they were made in the same factory as Gibsons.
