Epiphone presents Les Paul SL, the most affordable 2-pickup Les Paul ever made, featuring a slim, lightweight Poplar body with heavy-duty Epiphone Ceramic pickups. Available in six exclusive colors - Ebony, Heritage Cherry Sunburst, Pacific Blue, Sunset Yellow, Turquoise and Vintage Sunburst.
Since the dawn of rock 'n' roll, the Les Paul has been considered the ultimate electric guitar, and Epiphone's new Les Paul SL continues the long tradition of innovation with a lightweight Poplar body that's slimmer than a vintage Les Paul, making it easy for new players to hold. The bolt-on mahogany neck features a traditional 24.75" scale with an easy-to-play SlimTaper-D profile. Even the headstock of the Les Paul SL has the look of a classic Les Paul with Epiphone's trademark "Clipped Ear" design, the same "Bell-Shaped" truss rod cover seen on the Epiphone 60 logo, and the "20 logo is 20 models, and" back of the headstock.
Epiphone Ceramic pickups: The Les Paul SL is powered by Epiphone single coil ceramic pickups with a 650SCR in the neck position and a slightly overwound 700SCT in the bridge position for solos. Mr. Les Paul, the inspiration for the Les Paul guitar, was particularly fond of single coil pickups for their tonal versatility when playing rhythm and solos. Ceramic pickups are designed to provide a tight low-end response with both a smooth midrange and a slightly more pronounced top-end tone. That's why ceramic magnets have been a favorite among metal and hard rock guitarists for decades. Controls include a master volume and tone with traditional black ABS "Top Hat" buttons.
Rock Solid Epiphone Hardware: The Les Paul SL features Epiphone-designed hardware with a "Wrap Around" Stopbar Bridge Combo and Premium Covered 14:1 ratio heads for fast and accurate tuning. An optional hard case is also available.
