The Epiphone Les Paul Standard (Ebony) is a true classic of electric guitar heritage with an unmistakable sound character. Alnico Classic humbucker pick-ups in the neck and bridge position deliver warm and full PAF sounds, named after the "Patent Applied For" sticker on the base plates of the first Gibson humbucker, while the combination of a LockTone Tune-o-Matic bridge provide full control over intonation and great sustain. The classic electronic components of the Epiphone Les Paul Standard consist of 2x separate volume and tone controls for both pick-ups and a 3-way toggle switch.
The main features of the Epiphone Les Paul Standard (Ebony) include:
This Epiphone sounds great! Infact, it sounds better than the lower end Gibsons. The alnico humbuckers sound great and the Grover tuners will keep the tuning in check. The only part thats bad, is the strap buttons. They could be a bit better quality, but thats the only bad part about the guitar!
I own 7 guitars in total. The Epiphone Standard gives my Gibson Les Paul some competition.
A very good guitar, Nicely built solid body. It sounds great nearly as good as a real Gibson.Hardware on it is excellent quality. Very versatile guitar , good for all music types. Nice tone !, Nice finish. Very reliable guitar.. with no problems.
I bought one months ago. The finish is really amazing for the price range of the guitar. It's easy to start playing nice warm sound like all Les Paul. I think that is probably the best entry level guitar you can play a very wide range of musical choices.The only complaint I have is about buzz string on the fretboard (but thankfully not passed to the amplifier) I play mostly fast metal music (Metallica Motorhead etc.) and probably at this point I was wrong with my choose because it does not help much in fast playing. Also with speed play with distortion the sound "confused" (mud tone). Probably with some other magnets improved this. Playing course other types of classic metal music as AC DC or Black Sabbath Iron Maiden, there is no problem. I bought it because it really is a great guitar and I love the Les Paul guitars! Ηighly recommend for any kind of music you play.
This is a really good guitar!
The humbuckers are very good, nice sound.
Everything on this guitar works fantastic,
Very good to practice and also a good guitar to perform with!
Are you looking for a guitar with nice sound, looks good and had a good price? Than this is the guitar you are looking for!
