The Epiphone Les Paul Classic, part of the Inspired by Gibson Collection, aims to deliver the best of both worlds! It combines classic Les Paul styling with a selection of modern appointments to deliver versatile take on the iconic guitar.
At its core, the Epiphone Les Paul Classic stays true to its roots, with the classic tonewood pairing of a mahogany body with a plain maple cap. Joined to the body via a traditional glued in neck joint is mahogany neck, which has been shaped into the SlimTaper profile and is topped with a 12" radius Indian laurel fingerboard. The 24.75" scale, trapezoid inlays, 22 medium jumbo frets and 1.693" nut width complete the traditional feel and look.
The Les Paul Classic has plenty to offer when it comes to tonal versatility, something the gigging or studio player will really appreciate. It comes fitted with pair of open-coil zebra Alinco Classic PRO humbuckers, designed to deliver classic Gibson tones. Things take a modern twist with the control assembly giving you access to coil-tapping and phase switching, making for a Les Paul packed with a wide range of tones, perfect for any array of genre and playing styles.
Other appointments include the LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge with stopbar tailpiece, Grover Rotomatic tuners and gold knobs with inserts.

Bought the Epiphone Les Paul Classic in Ebony as a Christmas present. The guitar arrived in on time and is an excellent instrument. Has all the classic Les Paul sounds and is beautiful to play...plus the coil taps give some great tonal options. Awesome guitar and a first class service from Gig Gear!
