The Epiphone Les Paul Tribute Plus, Black Cherry Electric Guitar is a Premium Les Paul with AAA Flame Maple Top and a Translucent finish. The Les Paul Tribute Plus pays tribute to Les Paul himself by offering the best Les Paul experience to guitarists for live and studio performances.
The Les Paul Tribute Plus by Epiphone features a solid Mahogany back with a solid, carved hard Maple cap with Flame Maple veneer to create the ultimate combination of warmth and bite. For the best rock tone and sustain the Tribute PLUS takes that to the next level featuring the original "deep set" neck joint. The solid Mahogany neck with hand-fitted, glued-in joint extends well into the neck pickup cavity creating maximum neck-to-body contact and acting almost like one continuous piece of wood. Combined with the Mahogany/Maple body, the result is a tribute to Les' timeless guitar design with the sound that you can only get from a Les Paul.
The Epiphone Tribute Plus Les Paul is fitted with a pair of authentic Gibson USA '57 Classic humbucking pickups. The '57 Classic and '57 Classic Plus are faithful replicas of the famous Gibson humbuckers that helped define the music of the late 1950s. The '57 Classic gives you a tone that is warm and subtle with full, even response that doesn't hold back when you need that classic Gibson humbucker crunch! The '57 Classic Plus is the perfect bridge pickup and mimics humbuckers of that era that received a few extra turns of wire.

The product has come as well packed and I checked it if it's a display product or not but I couldn't even find a tiny stratch. Thanks to Music Store, they sent unboxed guitar. Sound is really great and powerful, all equipments from gibson. But I can't say that's good guitar for metal sounds. If you looking for more metal, you better look another model. It's classic an hard-rock guitar. This model has 2 way option for each pick up to use series or parallel. I really liked it.
Very good sound with a great sustain! The push and pull option is a plus. Wonderful design for les pauls lovers.
The only thing might be the weight, although clearly more than offset by all the pros.
Musicstore is a great site for shopping also! No problems at all with the shipment.
Very nice guitar, sweet tone amazing craftsmanship definitely a "must have guitar". The ´57 pickups are suitable for almost everything from blues, jazz, rock & roll... metal player this isn´t your model! pickups deliver a warm tone with good definition, nothing to envy to actual gibson guitar... If you buy this guitar i guarantee you that your gonna spend a lot of time on it trying diferent combinations (push/pull capabilities) Beautiful esthetics... i´m in love with it.. You can´t go wrong with this amazing instrument.
