Epiphone Les Paul Classic Electric Guitar, Heritage Cherry Sunburst

The Epiphone Les Paul Classic is part of the brand’s latest lineup of vintage-style guitars with modern features like a fast action neck, hotter humbuckers and advanced electronics. It’s designed for the player who wants a guitar steeped in the past, but has advanced tonal options for the present.

Les Paul Classic Main Features
Bound mahogany body with maple top
Mahogany neck with bound Indian laurel fretboard, SlimTaper profile
2 Alnico Classic Pro humbuckers, CTS pots, coil-split, phase-switch
LockTone tune-o-matic bridge, stopbar tailpiece, Grover Rotomatic tuners

Body Construction
The Classic has a gloss-finished mahogany body with a maple cap. Cream binding accentuates the body’s curves.

Neck Construction
Epiphone spec’d the Les Paul Classic with a mahogany neck that has a comfortable SlimTaper profile. The neck is glued in for maximum sustain and has a revamped headstock. The Indian laurel fretboard has medium jumbo frets.

Alnico Classic Pro ’Buckers
Epiphone’s Alnico Classic Pro humbuckers are evenly wound using strong alnico 5 magnets. The result is a high-output pickup with a tight low end with sparkle and clarity. A coil-split expands the tonal range with added richness; a phase control creates a distinctive “scooped” or “hollow” sound.

Les Paul Classic Hardware
A LockTone tune-o-matic bridge offers precise intonation. The stopbar tailpiece offers maximum sustain. Grover Rotomatic tuners have an 18:1 gear ratio for tuning ease.

Other high quality specifications include CTS pots, Graph Tech nut, trapezoid inlays and gold control knobs.
