Classic Looks and a Killer Sound

Modeled after Les Paul Standards produced in the late 1950s, the Epiphone Les Paul Classic has timeless visual appeal. And its modern appointments contribute to a stellar sounding LP that plays great but won’t break the bank. Guitarists at Sweetwater were impressed by the Epiphone Les Paul Classic’s balanced tone that evokes the sound and vibe of countless classic and modern rock hits. And, they were blown away by the super-hot Alnico Classic PRO pickups and the premium hardware and electronics package that make this guitar a total tone monster. For a legendary look and a killer sound, wrap your hands around the Les Paul Classic from Epiphone.

Resonant tone with plenty of snap

The Epiphone Les Paul Classic boasts the balanced body wood combination of mahogany and maple. The mahogany body produces rich and warm resonance with incredible depth, and the maple top adds clarity, definition, and a snappy top-end. From there, the SlimTaper mahogany neck extends the sonic depth of the guitar, and it’s capped with an Indian laurel fingerboard that spices up the mix with brilliant highs and vibrant overtones.

Premium hardware and electronics package

Stocked with high-quality electronics and hardware, the Epiphone Les Paul Classic is built for performance. Two Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers make the most of their Alnico V magnets, with enhanced mids and highs for churning out serious rock ‘n’ roll growl, shimmering clean tones, or warm jazzy sounds. Plus, the Epiphone Les Paul Classic includes coil-splitting and phase switching for total tonal flexibility. A stopbar tailpiece, LockTone Tune-o-matic bridge, and kidney-style tuners deliver excellent tuning stability, and premium CTS electronics punctuate the brilliant character of this iconic axe.

A legendary rock ‘n’ roller

For generations, guitar players have gravitated toward the Les Paul. Rock icons such as Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Slash, and many others heavily utilized the Les Paul. From warm, fat blues tones to scorching rock riffs and solos, the Les Paul has done it all. Call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer today and pick up an icon — the Epiphone Les Paul Classic.

  • Late 1950s-inspired Les Paul solidbody guitar at a budget-friendly price

Nice

Frist off another great job, Caleb Lowrey. We change a lot on the guitar I ordered. We change the tuners to Grover 135N Vintage Tuning Machines Set. Then we changed out the pots for 920D Custom Les Paul Wiring Harness. Next we replaced the pickups with a set of Gibson Accessories Greenybucker . Also the fretboard was set up with Plek machine. We chaged the gauge size so we replace the nut for a better fit. The tech guys did an awesome job replacing everything and setting the guitar up. If you do anything when you order a guitar have them run it across the Plek machine. Yes it is still an Epiphone but it does not sound or play like a Epiphone any longer. All the replaced parts find a home in a old cheaper guitar I already have had for twenty years.

Awesome!

I ordered this Classic Les Paul and I am just blown away! I had Sweetwater Plek and set up the guitar before shipping and this thing is perfect! I highly recommend the Plek service and custom setup. Well worth the money. I own a Gibson Les Paul Studio and this Epiphone plays better than it. The Alnico V pickups sound amazing. The honey burst is simply gorgeous. I took it to rehearsal and the band loved it. I'm glad I waited on the new inspired by Gibson Epiphone to arrive. Didn't have to wait too long. I highly recommend this guitar.

Much better than expected

I ordered this because I liked the way it looked. When I got it, I was blown away. It feels much better than my Gibson Pro V. I did change the pickups to Seyour Duncan Pearly Gates, but it really wasn't necessary. I have owned many Gibson Les Pauls and this Epiphone beats them all. I'm not just saying this, no one is paying me, and I get nothing for saying it. This is a really great guitar!
