Here for sale we have an Epiphone Limited Edition Les Paul Standard in Sparkle Flake Red Finish. Made in China in 2009, this guitar features a set-neck construction comprising a Mahogany body with Maple top, Mahogany neck and 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard. This guitar is fitted with Gold hardware including Tune-O-Matic bridge and StopBar tailpiece, as well as Grover Rotomatic tuning machines. The pickups installed are a pair of Epiphone humbuckers which are wired to the standard Les Paul control layout.
The Mahogany neck sits comfortably in the hand, with the SlimTaper profile providing ergonomic thumb positioning up and down the neck. The Gloss finish to the rear of the neck assists with smooth transitions, making navigation of the 24.75" scale feel like a breeze. The Rosewood fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers, and with its 12" radius offers a nice balance between comfortable chord playing and practicality for lead lines and string bending techniques.
The humbuckers in this guitar offer a full, thick tone, plenty of warmth and roundness is present in the neck position. The middle position sounds punchy, with driving mids along with crisp and clear highs making for a nice blend of the two pickups. The bridge position provides open sustain and broad harmonic clarity, making chords sound crystalline and clear. The Classic Les Paul wiring gives plenty of versatility without any complicated switching, making this instrument great for tonal sculpting to the players desired taste.
