This Epiphone Les Paul Standard features a brand new for 2012 Cardinal Red finish!
Everybody knows the Gibson Les Paul is one of the coolest guitars in the world (the universe even!) - but not everybody can afford one! The Epiphone Les Paul is an excellent lower cost alternative to the Gibson Les Paul, & you know when you buy an Epiphone you're getting an official licenced copy of the real thing.
That's because Gibson own Epiphone & that's why Epiphone guitars look so similar to the real thing & also come with proper Gibson designed pickups.
We're not trying to say that an Epiphone Les Paul is as good as a Gibson, but they do represent excellent value for money & we think they make better Gibson copies than anyone else does!
The Epiphone Les Paul Standard features a set neck (just like the Gibson version) - this means the neck is glued into the joint (rather than bolted on like a Fender Strat), and this gives the guitar greater sustain. The two Gibson designed humbuckers are also pretty meaty - they'll drive your amp hard & give you great distortion & even more sustain. For a classic looking/sounding guitar at a very reasonable price, the Epiphone Les Paul Standard is a great choice.
Here's what Epiphone say about the Les Paul Standard
Based on the Gibson industry standard, at home on any stage playing any style. Sunburst and translucent finished models feature a 'Plus' flamed maple top. Solid coloured models feature a plain maple top.
