Epiphone

Gorgeous Les Paul tone and looks at a price you can handle.

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 loads of warmth. 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.

Check the drop-down menu to the right to select colors and/or other options.

Features

  • Mahogany body
  • Maple veneer over carved top
  • Alnico Classic humbuckers
  • Chrome hardware
  • Grover tuners
  • 24-3/4" scale
  • 1-11/16" nut width
  • Set mahogany neck
  • Slim-tapered neck profile
  • Rosewood fretboard with trapezoid inlays
  • Body/neck binding
  • LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge/stopbar tailpiece

This is no knock-off, it's an honest-to-goodness Les Paul that sounds and plays just like the real deal. Order it now!

Great guitar

| Review By: Roy Day | 4 weeks, 11 hours ago

1 people out of 1 found this review helpful

Features:

This is the best money you will ever spend if you're serious about getting a LP. No need spend big dollars on a GIbson unless you have money falling out of your pockets. Beautiful craftsmanship with all the things you'd exect from Gibson/Epiphone. Right out of the box this thing rocks the canyons and has sustain that will last for days.

Quality:

Not even a fingerprint to be found, at least not until I got my hands on it. I can't put it down and my Fenders are getting jealous.

Value:

Best bang for the buck and then some.

Overall:

The only thing I could possibly say negative about this guitar is the fact that I waited so long to get one. Once I ordered it I was like a kid at Christmas waiting for the UPS truck instead of St Nick.  The fit and finish of everything was better than any photo could ever show and the sound is all Les Paul. If you want all that a Les Paul is but don't have the money to do it with I highly recommend you jump all over this.

Fantastaic Quality at a Great Price!

Overall:

I've had my Les Paul for about two weeks and all I can say is, Wow! I havent had any issues with this beautiful instrument. The intonation is spot on, the electronics are smooth and the sound is pure Les Paul. The finish is flawless. I've read a lot of other reviews and simply haven't found any of the negative issues that others are posting. Perhaps I lucked out and got one of the better ones that made it through their QA process. All I know is that I can't stop playing it! Do yourself a favor and play one. For the price, it's a hard one to beat!!

Great guitar, mediocre pickups.

| Review By: Derek Yates | 3 months, 1 week ago

Overall:

I bought one of these new in 2002, and have played it since then.  Same specs, etc as what appears to be out there now.  Since then I've bought & sold a Gibson SG, Gibson LP Studio, and a Fender American strat, because I like playing this Epiphone the best.

 

Stock condition, I thought the tone was muddy and didn't have much definition.  This is basically due to the pickups on the guitar which more or less have crappy tone.  Change them out to some good seymour duncan ones and it comes alive, huge improvement.  I changed the Bridge pickup out to a Seymour Duncan (SH-4 or SH-5 I believe..) and its much better now.  Haven't changed the neck pickup out, but the current neck pickup gives a good blend with the new bridge pickup in the middle setting.  The neck pickup only switch setting still sounds muddy to me..

 

Overall after the swap you can expect nice, dark, classic LP sounds.  Run it through a good tube amp and it sounds amazing now.  The action is great, neck is great, and it's easy to play.  My favorite among my current collection.

 

Summary:  Buy the guitar, replace the bridge pickup, play it forever.

Epi Les Paul standard

| Review By: chris burch | 4 months, 6 days ago

1 people out of 2 found this review helpful

Features:

Pretty much a basic Les Paul no real fancy thrills but thats not what i was after.

Quality:

This guitar is built really well, I got mine as a used factory second with some knots in the top wood and sides only really issues i have is the Epiphone 2 piece neck but it seems really solid also the headstock is made of two peices glued together. Over all a very nice guitar even with the small imprefections

Value:

well worth all the money very nice guitar

Overall:

This is a great guitar, a very nice Les Paul, I would recomend it to anyone who wants great sound and quality without breaking the bank for a Gibson. The the worst part is that Epiphone discontinued the other colors. The cherry sunburst is beautiful
