About This Listing

For your consideration is this 1997 Epiphone Les Paul Standard with VibroTone tailpiece in fair condition.  There are various cosmetic imperfections on the guitar from use.  The worst offenders are pictured, including a finish crack in the cutaway.  There were two hairline cracks on either side on the fretboard by the headstock that we repaired.  There are solid and good to go but we did lose some color in the process.  Doing additional finish work was not requested by the owner.  One tuning machine was swapped out sometime in the past and a couple others are loose.  They are functional but definitely have more play in them than they should.  Also of note is the bridge/trem setup.  As cool as it looks the guitar has trouble going back in tune after use of the trem.  Upgrading the tune-o-matic bridge to a roller bridge would definitely help.  Leave the trem alone and it stays in tune just fine.  Long story short, this guitar needs some love to be the best it can be.  The current owner does not wish to invest in any more work.  Comes with hard case.

Product Overview
The original Les Paul model can claim a list of users that amounts to a who's who list of rock royalty - Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Peter Frampton, Slash, Jimmy Page, Billy Gibbons, and Joe Walsh among others - but remains out of reach financially for many players. The Epiphone Les Paul Standard gets one in your hands for a fraction of the price, with all the same mojo and feel. Choose the Plus model for a figured top or the Pro model for coil-tapping. Swap out the pups/electronics, and a blind tone test with a Gibson becomes a dangerous proposition...
