Epiphone Les Paul

The Epiphone Les Paul Standard is as close to being a USA made Gibson Les Paul as a 'copy' can be, owing mainly to the fact that Gibson own the Epiphone brand, and have done so for over 50 years. The Epiphone Les Paul Standard therefore has the freedom to directly mimic the Gibson without any fear of patent or copyright infringement, giving the guitarist an opportunity to own and play a direct copy of its American bigger brother.

The Epiphone Les Paul Standard guitar represents great value for money. Built with the same construction as the USA made Les Paul, this Chinese version features a quality rosewood fingerboard on a mahogany neck, in addition to Grover machine heads, which allow for more accurate tuning of the guitar.

The Epiphone Les Paul Standard is available in two different styles. The 'Plain' top is made to resemble a 1958 Les Paul, whereas the 'Plus' top model features a flame top finish and is available in a wide choice of authentic Gibson colours. Fitted with two Gibson designed humbuckers, this model provides a brilliant way to join the Les Paul club on a budget, with Epiphone Les Paul Standard guitars entering the market between £350 and £425 depending on the specific model.
