Part of the Modern Series, Epiphone offer the Les Paul Classic. Inspired by the legendary guitars produced by their mother-company, Gibson, this model brings all that classic LP foundation with a few modern upgrades. This solidbody looks every bit like a Les Paul of '60s vintage but, due weight-relief shaping, has a lighter, less back-breaking body. The fitted SlimTaper neck is also a fresh addition and has a rounded fretboard and fret-ends, elevating the overall playing comfort of this single-cut guitar.
The Les Paul Classic: More Tone and More Tuning Stability
The mounted Epiphone Probuckers don't just deliver a fat vintage amplified sound but, since the potentiometers on this LP-model also have push/pull functionality, the pickups can be split for a lighter, single-coil tone. The up-to-date tuners and Graphtech string nut are also worth a mention, since this combo serves to considerably enhance tuning stability. The bridge is also a big factor here, especially since the the LockTone tailpiece simply stays in place while re-stringing. This LP-devoted Modern Series guitar also comes at an incredibly reasonable price.
