The Epiphone Les Paul Ultra II is all the Les Paul you expect, with enough extras to make it a new must-have instrument for any serious player. Epiphone has a habit of starting revolutions. In 2005 , when most people said it couldn't be done, the world's favorite luthier said that yes, it could, and invented the first Les Paul to feature a chambered body, giving even more guitarists the change to enjoy killer Les Paul tone and sustain. That model was the Les Paul Ultra.
Now Epiphone is doing it all over again, as the original Les Paul Ultra is joined by the new Ultra II. You might not be surprised by the name, but when you check out this groundbreaking hybrid model, you would believe what Epiphone has done.
Some things haven't change. Like the original Ultra, the Ultra II features a chambered mahogany body topped with a quilted maple cap, meaning that it weighs far less then a Les Paul Standard wile offering the same timeless tone and endless sustain - but that's not the reason why the new Ultra II is set to steal the show.
The real revolution comes from the Ultra II's pairing of twin Alnico Classic humbuckers (which supply the beefy electric tone that has always been the Les Paul's calling card) and a fingerboard-mounted NanoMag pickup (with dedicated tone controls and output jack) that lets guitarists unlock shimmering acoustic tones on the stage and in the studio. Whether you're playing clean fingerpicked passages or digging in with the pick, this revolutionary hybrid model as it covered.
