With the Epiphone Les Paul SL, the Gibson Group subsidiary offers by far the best price-performance ratio in the LP range! Equipped with two in-house 650SCR and 700SCT single coils with ceramic magnets and a one-piece wraparound bridge, the Les Paul SL awakens the charm of classic Danos and LP Special models, while the original 1960 Slim Taper neck profile of the late Les Paul models offers the familiar Gibson handling from headstock to neck. Solid Epiphone Premium tuners ultimately ensure reliable tuning stability and easy tuning. The perfect electric guitar for beginners, hobbyists or as an inexpensive second guitar!
The single coil version of the 650R and 700T humbuckers combine the taut sound of the ceramic magnet with a striking single coil character and deliver clear and direct trebles, appealing bass and a present midrange. Both pickups are selected by means of 3-way switches and can be connected together in the middle position. Last but not least, the Master Tone control provides full control over the transmitted height of the pickups.
Epiphones Les Paul SL uses the classic concept of the one-piece wraparound bridge. The bridge, which is mounted on two pins, is compensated for each string and can be adjusted in terms of string height and intonation. At the other end of the headstock, in-house Epiphone Premium die-cast mechanisms ensure stable tunings, simple tuning and quick string changes.
Having had many les Paul’s with tunamatic bridges and always struggled to intonate them I was sceptical about this guitars solid bridge but it’s absolutely perfect . Stays in tune , plays lovely, sounds great. Absolutely recommend.
This Les Paul copy is a fine guitar suited both to the beginner and the experienced guitarist looking for the raunchy style of Gibson's Les Paul. The construction is very good for the price and the guitar came with good action and ready to go. Highly recommended!
I bought this guitar for my 8 year old daughter who is wanting to learn how to play. What I couldn’t believe was just how good a guitar it is, and for only £83 delivered its an absolute bargain.
So this guitar was really, really low priced. Based on this low price I am rating this instrument, so obviously it cannot be compared to another guitar that cost 1500 - 2000 £/€. First things first, I only bought this because of the colour, turquoise. I absolutely love it, the paint job is perfectly done and I could not find any scratched or dust particles in the pain (seen this before on other cheap guitars). The strings it came with were really bad, but I changed them first thing. Also I gave it a full set up and it does pretty well. Tuners are not great, but again, keep in mind how cheap it all is. So for me this is a nice colourful addition to my collection and I think it would be an amazing guitar for anyone staring out to learn guitar or to extend the collection. I can recommend this guitar and hell, maybe I buy another one to give away as a present.
Sounds amazing will defiantly be buying more guitars in the future and fast delivery great service and reliable equipment thanks a lot guys you are awesome
