Gearank Recommendation
The Epiphone Les Paul Studio 2011 appeared on our recommended list for Solidbody Electric Guitars Under $500 from March 2019 until June 2020.
Overview
The Epiphone Les Paul Studio is a streamlined version of the Gibson Les Paul, used by greats like Slash, Jimmy Page, Zakk Wylde and many more – only this one is lighter and cheaper.
Gone are the fancy bindings and metal pickup covers, but it retains essential Les Paul specifications, including its single-cutaway body, arched top design, and dual humbucker setup.
For improved tuning accuracy and stability, this guitar comes with 18:1 ratio Grover machine heads.
It was available in three colors allowing you to choose between Ebony, Wine Red and Turquoise finish.
