Here for sale we have an Epiphone Les Paul 300 in Cherry Sunburst finish. Made in Korea in 1999, this guitar features a bolt-on neck construction comprising a Mahogany body with a Flamed Maple top, Mahogany neck and 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard. This guitar is fitted with Nickel hardware including a Tune-O-Matic bridge and StopBar tailpiece and with a set of Kluson style tuning machines. The pickups installed are a pair of Epiphone humbuckers which are wired to a 3-way toggle switch, and independent volume and tone controls.
The Mahogany neck plays very well, with a ‘C’ profile feeling incredibly comfortable in the hand, providing a substantial playing experience without being at all cumbersome. The Gloss finish to the rear creates a slick feeling in the hand and ensures that navigation of the 24.75” scale is a smooth and breezy affair. The traditional 12” fingerboard radius is as practical as ever, whilst its Rosewood construction provides a smooth and durable playing surface right the way up the register. The Medium Jumbo frets provide a rock-solid playing surface whilst enhancing the feel of vibrato and string bending techniques.
The pair of Epiphone humbucking pickups installed in this guitar deliver thick and full-bodied tones, just as you would expect from a Les Paul. The neck pickup is warm and round, perfect for solo sounds or shimmering clean sounds. The bridge pickup is of course brighter, and offers a high output tone that drives the front end of an amp beautifully for saturated rhythm parts.
