Epiphone Les Paul Classic Electric Guitar – Ebony Gloss Finish

E P I P H O N E   M O D E R N   C O L L E C T I O N

The Les Paul Classic from the new Epiphone Modern Collection presents the world’s most popular electric guitar at a crazy affordable price.

The new Les Paul Classic electric guitar features the timeless look of a late 50’s Les Paul Standard with open-coil “zebra” Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers. The electronics are first class too with CTS pots along with coil-splitting and phase switching functionality via the push/pull pots.

Genuine Grover® Rotomatic machine heads ensure that your guitar will play in tune.

Pro-SCM Professional Setup

While the quality of this instrument shines through in spades, we like to think of our inhouse Pro-SCM setup as icing on the cake. Our skilled Guitar Technicians will check and adjust anything that requires attention. Our Pro-SCM setup includes:

• Check that the action meets factory specifications
• Check and rectify any buzzing, intonation or playability issues
• Check and adjust the nut and bridge string heights
• Hand roll the fret ends and polish the frets, oil the fretboard
• Test electronics, pots and switches for correct function
• Inspect instrument construction and condition of the strings
• Ensure mechanical devices work properly including tremelo systems and fine tuners
• Tune to pitch

And just before we go, if you seriously believe that guitars somehow come magically setup out of the box or, off the showroom wall, leave this page now. I have been playing guitar for more than 50 years and I can tell you that – other than a handful of very rare exceptions, that is definitely not the case.

If  a ‘factory setup’ is how you roll, no worries, we have this guitar on offer at that price too – check our website or give us a call.

I almost cannot keep up with the sheer volume of bookings from musicians wanting their guitars set up. Part of the reason is that instruments sold with our Pro-SCM setup jump to the front of the queue. Our Pro-SCM setup includes:

  • Ensure that the action and playability exceed factory specifications
  • Rectify any buzzing, intonation or playability issues
  • Adjust the nut and bridge string heights and deburr the nut
  • Hand roll the fret ends to deburr the sharp edges and polish the frets
  • Test electronics, pots and switches for correct function
  • Inspect instrument construction and condition of the strings
  • Tune to pitch

As a paid service this is worth at least $200 – or more! – it’s included in our price.

You want cheap? You’re on the wrong page – sorry.
