Product Description

That trademark Les Paul shape in an economical package, including to open-coil Alnico V Humbucker pickups for great classic sound and the Tune-o-matic bridge/Stopbar tailpiece combo for sustain and that Les Paul signature tone.

Les Paul Features in an Economical Package.

Angled Headstock
Unlike cheaper designs, all Epiphones feature a 14-degree headstock that gives you more pressure at the nut and so you get more sustain with less tuning hang-ups caused by "string-tree" gadgets.

Alnico V Humbucker pickups and the industry-standard Tune-O-Matic bridge.

Rosewood fretboard with dot inlays.

Double-Waxed Pickups
Epiphone utilizes a double vacuum waxing process that ensures optimum performance. The pickup is first placed in the specialized wax vacuuming system before the cover is put in place to ensure that the wax fully penetrates to the very center of the pickup and solidifies all parts. After the cover is placed on, it is again given a second vacuum wax bath until the unit is completely saturated with wax.

Output Jack
To increase reliability and ensure consistent performance, Epiphone's proprietary output jacks feature an improved contact shape and heavy-duty spring steel.

Toggle Switches
All Epiphones feature our all-metal, USA designed switches for reliable contact and longer life.

Tunomatic Bridge
Fully adjustable, the tunomatic remains a classic after over 50 years. Unlike guitars fitted with tremolos, there are no tuning or re-stringing difficulties. Plus, tone and sustain are improved because all string vibrations are transferred directly to the guitar.

Potentiometers
Epiphone is passionate about performance. That's why their instruments use one-inch diameter potentiometers for better "throw," longer life and reliable service.

Quick-Connectors
For unequalled reliability as well as ease of service, Epiphone wiring harnesses feature quick-connectors.

Great Guitar!!!!
 
Review Date: August 7, 2008
Reviewer: Ty,
When I 1st got this guitar I was really nervous. I heard mixed reviews about it, some saying it was awesome and some saying it sucked. I was pleasantly surprised when i plugged it in 2 my amp(it's a crappy amp and the Les Paul sounded way better than my Strat!). It's easy 2 move your fingers, sounds great, looks great and makes it so ur cables never fall out. my one complaint is there's only 1 tone and 1 volume, but it still has that Les Paul sound! It sounds great dirty and clean and is great for rockin out!!
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reviewer: R. Hernandez, Chicago, Il
This is a great guitar. If you want a Les Paul styled guitar this is your guitar. Just be aware that just cuz it looks like a L.P. guitar does not mean that it will sound like the real thing (a Gibson L.P.) That was something I learned very quickly. Ha Ha. But all in all for the price this is a great looking, great feeling and good sounding guitar.
Just... well....... take a look

Reviewer: Chris, fishers In USA
This guitar is by far my favorite guitar.(and 1st one) if you want to make a statement by getting a beautiful creation of artwork get this guitar, the price i got it for was $170 and is worth every cent. with even the wost amp in the world, this guitar is still the best for its money. but once i got a Line 6 amp, i could play any song. the special 2 Les Paul is the best yet!

Reviewer: master300,

Great guitar for the money spent. Intonation was good and string
heights Ok. Dual humbuckers not of 3,0000 Les Paul quality
but all in all a great little guitar for beginner to the
advanced student. Lots of bite and can always be fitted with
better pick-ups when or if you desire to. Fret board nice and
straight and not a bad action right out of the box. Would buy
another for sure.
Great for Begginers!

Reviewer: MockingJay13,
I brought this guitar as a beginner guitarist, and it was so easy to learn on! The guitar produces a nice sound on my 10inch Marshall. It has a nice clean look and a easy to maintain as well.
