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.

Perfect for the price

Great guitar for the money! This starter guitar will last and has a great sound. Bridge is a little finicky and you have to get it just right to eliminate buzzy strings.
Attractive, economical, and good tone

Reviewer: Alberto Islava, Nogales, AZ USA
Purchased this beauty along with Vox Valvetronix VT15 Guitar Combo Amplifier - 1x8 inch, 15 watts and oh does it sound nice. I changed the chords as soon as i got it to some super slinky string set for that extra bendy deliciousness. All of the hardware is solid and easily serviceable. The action was low, just about perfect. The neck is straight and without defect.
This is an overall great guitar to start with, but keep in mind that this is an Epiphone, not a Gibson with a label that says Epiphone so it isn't made with parts of the highest quality, so it isn't fair to compare it with something it will never be.
