    Product Description

    The undisputed King of Solidbody Electric guitars since 1952, the Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plain-Top has all the features of an LP Standard, but preserves the understated, "plain" top that pays homage to some legendary guitarists' axes. Legendary guitarist and inventor Les Paul lends his signature to every real Les Paul guitar, authenticating his soveriegn design standards, so you know you are getting "the real thing". From the tone-rich, bound, Mahogany body with preffered "plain" Maple top to the set, Mahogany neck and Rosewood fingerboard with traditional trapezoid inlays, to the rich, vintage tone provided by a pair of high-output Alnico Classic Humbuckers, this guitar is the standard for all others. It also features Chrome hardware, Grover™ tuners, with our new Epiphone LockTone™ locking Tune-o-matic bridge and Stop-bar tailpiece that gives you even more sustain and lasting Les Paul warm tone that you dream about.

    Amazon.com

    Now, the classic look of the "plain" Maple top is available to go with the classic Les Paul Sound. This understated look is preferred by many Les Paul fanatics. It still has everything you need in a Les Paul: the solid Mahogany body, Maple top, Alnico-V Humbucking pickups and the Tune-o-matic bridge/Stopbar tailpiece combo for monstrous sustain.

    The Classic Look of the Plain Maple Top.

    Angled Headstock
    Unlike cheaper designs, all Epiphones feature a 14-degree headstock that gives you more pressure at the nut and so you get more sustain with less tuning hang-ups caused by "string-tree" gadgets.

    Alnico Classic humbuckers and the industry-standard Tune-O-Matic bridge.

    Rosewood fretboard with trapezoid inlays.

    Double-Waxed Pickups
    Epiphone utilizes a double vacuum waxing process that ensures optimum performance. The pickup is first placed in the specialized wax vacuuming system before the cover is put in place to ensure that the wax fully penetrates to the very center of the pickup and solidifies all parts. After the cover is placed on, it is again given a second vacuum wax bath until the unit is completely saturated with wax.

    Output Jack
    To increase reliability and ensure consistent performance, Epiphone's proprietary output jacks feature an improved contact shape and heavy-duty spring steel.

    Toggle Switches
    All Epiphones feature our all-metal, USA designed switches for reliable contact and longer life.

    Tunomatic Bridge
    Fully adjustable, the tunomatic remains a classic after over 50 years. Unlike guitars fitted with tremolos, there are no tuning or re-stringing difficulties. Plus, tone and sustain are improved because all string vibrations are transferred directly to the guitar.

    Potentiometers
    Epiphone is passionate about performance. That's why their instruments use one-inch diameter potentiometers for better "throw," longer life and reliable service.

    Quick-Connectors
    For unequalled reliability as well as ease of service, Epiphone wiring harnesses feature quick-connectors.

    It was painstaking for me to decide to buy this guitar. I typically dont believe in buying a LOW END of anything as you get what you are paying for, I wanted a Gibson and was just turned off by the price of similar Gibson (the one I wanted was 2695.00) which at that price, Im afraid to play it everyday.. afraid to carry it around.. I did alot of comparing the two guitars.. and this won. The finish is GORGEOUS. It has grover tuners.. this sucker stays in tune... I have no complaints... great sustain and Im very happy with the tone. Does a Gibson have better pickups.. YES.. you can change the pickups and knobs.. and for a couple of hundred dollars more you have a Gibson Les Paul.. the price is so great that you dont sweat the knocking around.. I would buy this guitar again in a minute.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Troubled Workmanship
    Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2011
    Well, I bought a EPI Les Paul 100 to start with. New out of the box it had a discolord bridge. The Frets where not filed and sharp and the neck action was way to high. However, it did sound really nice for the price.

    Figuring these problems were due to the cheapness of the model, I decided to take the step up and buy the EPI LES PAUL STANDARD PLAIN TOP. Surely any guitar with a great name like this and a price around 500 bucks should be perfect. WRONG. NEW AND OUT OF THE BOX...First of all I noticed that the Volume and Tone knobs were so far off the guitar body that they looked like 4 ufos trying to land. I tryed to help them land by pushing down on them and realized that the whole assembly was bolted in on an angle, making the stems crooked. So, when you turn the knobs they didnt even line up with the body one side would raise farther in the air than the other. Ok, I really dont like to get shocks off from things when I use them either. The pickups make exploding noises that are not feedback to make sure your awake even when you are not even strumming it. The D string is dead at the 3rd fret...And lastly so far when I plug my MONSTER guitar cord into the guitar, I do like to be able to unplug it again without a fight. The Guitar's finished looked like it had be resanded, there are specks of black dirt in the paint...and there is to much grain marks in the wood and not enough PAINT. And of course theres a spot where the red paint has left a birthmark in the yellow part of the top. THE ONLY GOOD POINT, IS GREAT NECK ACTION. MY INSPECTOR FOR BOTH GUITARS WAS INSPECTOR NO. 1. I hope this review is helpful to someone out there because I thought this was a quality product. Your not buying the product obviously, you are buying just the name. I did not purchase this from AMAZON for fear of Mail Damage. But I should have because the damage is already done before the Guitar gets through the mail. I have an IBANEZ ACCOUSTIC ELECTRIC and it is a quality product. This thing will be going back I will be looking at IBANEZ ELECTRICS for a well finished product that will be more than worth the money. Im done with wasting my time with EPIPHONE.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing guitar, just be careful with guitar buying in general
    Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2011

    I ordered this guitar from Amazon without thinking. It arrived promptly on time, well packaged, and everything seemed to be in order. Opening it up and playing a few chords it had an awful buzz on the first five frets. Chalking it up to a long day and not having the finger strength I set it aside for the next morning - same issue. I raised the action to almost not-bearable heights and it went away for frets 4 and 5. Inspecting it a lot closer the neck was actually bent backwards at the head piece. So, adjusting the truss rod a bit and a little elbow grease got it closer to being straight and the buzz is gone except for the first fret.

    I don't know if it is an issue in shipping (no dents in packaging, but it might have), or at the factory (most likely), but I've already sent it back and will be buying it in person so I can make sure everything is in working order.

    In conclusion, if buying this as a gift make sure to open it and do a quick test of things as there is a lot that can potentially go wrong in shipping guitars on top of factory defects/lemons which seems to be the case in my situation.

    Not related to the product, but Amazons' return policy is excellent and swift.

    Update:
    After returning and talking to more knowledgeable guitar folk it turns out what I described (and commenters confirmed) is that this happens every so often. The humidity, temperature, storage, loading, shipping, delivery... so very many ways for a guitar to go out of whack. In my particular case, in this one instance, the neck was completely bowed and no way of adjusting to a playable state - it was just a lemon. My original review score was based off the assumption of poor quality control, but I purchased this exact model in store and it is a marvelous guitar, well worth the price (and I've updated my score to reflect that).

    I've always wanted a Les Paul in Cherry Sunburst since I taught myself to play the guitar in grade school in the mid-1980s. Since the early 90s, I hadn't played guitar much. I saw a few Epiphone Les Paul's on sale at Best Buy and Guitar Center around Christmas 2010 and never thought these were this inexpensive. I knew the Gibsons were but when I saw the Epiphones for $300~$600, I said to myself, 'OK, now is my chance.' Knowing Epiphones are manufactured by Gibson, I knew an Epiphone would also be great quality. I looked around and found a great deal on the Les Paul Standard in Cherry Sunburst for $479 on Amazon, I jumped. The other reviews of similar Les Pauls on Amazon made the purchase an easy choice.

    The guitar is easy to play and sounds great. I did have a cheap strat knock-off that I bought in the late 80s for $40 but the Les Paul is in a different league than the strat in terms of feel and sound. The Les Paul stays in tune for a long time and has a great sound... these are just two of the many features that Gibsons and Epiphones are known for. Anyone who plays guitar and buys a Les Paul will know exactly what I mean when they read that comment. You will NOT be disappointed with this guitar.

    Now, I have started playing again after not doing so for almost 20 years... and I picked right up from where I left off.
