About this listing
Here for sale we have an Epiphone Les Paul Standard Limited Edition in Gold Sparkle finish. Made in the highly-regarded Unsung plant in Korea in 1997, this guitar features a set-neck construction comprising a Mahogany body with Carved Maple top, Mahogany neck and 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard. A Chrome StopBar tailpiece & ToM bridge are fitted, along with a set of Nickel vintage-style tuning machines with 'Tulip' buttons. A pair of Epiphone Alnico Classic passive humbucking pickups are installed, and are wired to a 3-way toggle switch & independent volume & tone controls. The Mahogany neck plays very well, with the SlimTaper ‘D’ profile sitting comfortably in the hand and providing a smooth and responsive playing surface in all registers. The Rosewood fretboard is pleasant under the fingers, and with its traditional 12" radius strikes a perfect balance between comfortable chord playing and practicality for lead lines and string bending. The medium jumbo frets offer a rock solid playing surface whilst enhancing vibrato feel. The pair of Epiphone Alnico Classic passive humbuckers installed in this guitar offer a full and thick tone, exactly as you would expect for a Les Paul Standard. The neck delivers a warm low end, driving mids and rounded yet clear high frequencies, perfect for rock solo tones. The bridge is hotter and provides a bright tone that saturates beautifully into distortion as you crank the gain, easily cutting through the mix. The traditional Les Paul control layout offers comprehensive control of your tone without over-complicating things.
