Les Paul tradition combined with modern professional features.
Epiphone's history and association with Les Paul
dates way back to the days when Les, working at the Epiphone factory on
14th St. in New York, created the world's first electric guitar. Over
the years, Les continued to work closely with Epiphone by reviewing new
product ideas and offering suggestions. The Epiphone Les Paul
Traditional Pro electric guitar combines the best of Les Paul's original
design with new features that set this Epiphone guitar apart.
Professional Electronics.
The Les Paul Traditional Pro uses Epiphone's 4-wire, nickel/silver base
humbuckers with newly tooled, USA-style bobbins. In the neck position is
the Alnico Classic Pro humbucker with Alnico-II warm, thick vintage
tone and open zebra coils. It's uniquely paired with Epiphone's
ProBucker-3 humbucker. An inspired by version of Gibson's BurstBucker-3,
the Les Paul guitar features unevenly wound coils and Alnico-II magnets
that replicate that "Patent Applied for" airy tone. You'll love the way
they sound! To top it all off, both volume controls feature push/pull
potentiometers allowing you to coil-split each pickup for single-coil
sounds. Combined with the 3-way toggle, you get 6 unique sounds from one
great Les Paul guitar.
Tone Woods with Great Feel!
The Epiphone Les Paul Traditional Pro guitar has a solid mahogany back
with a carved top and a solid mahogany neck that's hand-fitted and glued
into the body for excellent neck-to-body contact and acting almost like
one continuous piece of wood. The guitar neck features a SlimTaper™ D
profile with a smooth and fast "worn" type finish on the back of the
neck and body.
Loaded with premium add-ons!
Other features on the Epiphone Les Paul included quality Grover tuners, a
traditional cream-colored pickguard, LockTone Tune-O-Matic
bridge/stopbar, and Epiphone's own StrapLocks. Like every Epiphone, the
electric guitar features their Limited Lifetime warranty backed by world
famous 24/7/365 day Gibson Customer Service.
