If you can handle everything about a Gibson Les Paul except the price, check this out! Gibson engineers designed this modern classic with the arched top and fast neck of the best Les Pauls. These guitars are built 100% to Gibson's specifications. Since 1910, Epiphone has been building quality instruments and this Les Paul Standard will only enhance their great reputation.
This Plain Top Epiphone Les Paul Standard is an electric guitar that delivers all the signature sound of a Gibson Les Paul at a fraction of the cost. The mahogany body provides superb resonance while the Alnico Classic humbucker pickups deliver big slabs of the fat warm tones, transcontinental sustain and deep, soulful distortion that made this guitar famous. The set mahogany neck with slim-tapered profile and rosewood fretboard give you the familiar feel and fast action that Les Paul players love so dearly. Neck and body binding and trapezoid inlays produce the classic look seen on stages around the world for decades. The LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece provide more sustain and string changing easier.
The undisputed King of Solidbody Electric guitars since 1952, the Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plain-Top has all the features of an LP Standard, but preserves the understated, "plain" top that pays homage to many legendary guitarists' axes. The Plain-Top's unfigured maple top might not be as flashy as it's Plus-Top flame maple sibling but it's the same by all other standards. This understated look is preferred by many Les Paul fanatics. The fast action, incredible sustain, and awesome tone make this highly playable guitar great for any type of music from punk to bluegrass. It's hot. No other guitar sounds like the famous Les Paul.
