Stunning tone

It's called classic for a reason. The Epiphone Les Paul Classic brings the world's most popular electric guitar to the forefront of modern music. From the 1950s to present day, this is tone that's stood the test of time. Thanks to its pair of Alnico pickups, you are provided with a vintage aesthetic that can handle a variety of genres. So, whether you love hard rock, traditional blues, or anything in between, the Les Paul Classic offers tight, responsive lows, crunchy, pronounced mids, and glassy, bright highs. Versatility redefined. Elevate the iconic sound of the '50s to a whole new level. The Classic can do it all with CTS electronics, coil splitting, and phase switching.

Want tone that shimmers and jangles? Looking for warm, balanced audio? Ready to switch up your style of playing? It's all possible, all of the time. Go from bright high end to rounded lows with the 3-way pickup toggle. This sensitive selector is everything you need to take your tone on a journey it won't forget.

Sculpted for perfection

As far as construction goes, it doesn’t get better than the Les Paul. With its single cutaway design and perfectly sculpted curves, it's easy to see why it took the 50s by storm. Now, it's been reinvented to usher in a new music revolution. Its mahogany body not only offers a comfortable playing experience due to its smooth texture, but it also offers a sweet sustain to your overall tone.

Both pickups are mounted directly onto the maple top, resonating with the natural qualities of the wood. The results are obvious. Warm, textured tone that's as recognisable as it is unique. If there's one thing the Classic is known for, it’s its effortless playability. Whether you're a seasoned shredder or a laid-back rhythm player, finger positioning is easy on an Indian laurel fretboard that's been given the slim taper treatment. Up high, you have unlimited access to reach stratospheric lead lines, and down low, you can play chords in comfort for hours on end. This is about to change what you thought about playing the guitar.
