Epiphone Limited Edition Les Paul Junior Electric Guitar

No longer available at zZounds
Get the vintage flair and tone of a Les Paul Junior at an amazing price. This guitar uses an Epiphone 700T humbucker for old-school rock tone.

The Epiphone Limited Edition Les Paul Junior Electric Guitar is a very unique twist on the standard Les Paul Junior you're used to. The Les Paul Junior was first introduced by Epiphone's legendary Kalamazoo factory in 1954 and was intended as an affordable way for beginners to get the look, sound, and feel of a real Les Paul. However, the Les Paul Junior quickly became a legend of its own.

Throughout the years and in all its many incarnations, the Les Paul Junior has been an on-stage favorite for artists like Leslie West of Mountain, Keith Richards, Paul Westerberg of the Replacements, and John Lennon, who all embraced the Les Paul Junior for its lighter weight, commanding sound, and all-mahogany body. Today, the Epiphone Les Paul Junior is still the best way for beginners to get started on a full-size guitar with real vintage Les Paul tone. And if the Les Paul Junior's rock and roll history wasn't enough to convince you, check out Rocksmith, the breakthrough guitar video game which features the Epiphone Les Paul Junior as its go-to guitar!

This is an example of something you read great reviews about and then try it out only to find those several hundred people actually know what they are talking about. The only other basis for comparison I have for a "cheap" guitar is my son's Squier 3/4 size starter guitar. POS compared to this one. I can't wait until he gets older to play this one. I may even buy another one for him to have to himself - I'm that impressed. I have a PRS Se Tremonti and an Ibanez RG1570 Prestige to compare this Epi to. While the Epi is a lesser guitar, it still has great fit and finish with excellent playability out of the box. I adjusted the bridge height to my liking and love to play it. Haven't had the problems with the tuners I read in other reviews, but they are pretty cheap. Overall excellent.

Sound
Great sound that can be tweaked to your liking, based on your amp and effects. A strong humbucker for being pretty basic.

Features
One tone, one volume, one pickup. A white/black combo that is awesome to look at.

Ease of Use
Doesn't get much simpler on an electric guitar.

Quality
Fit and finish almost perfect. If you are super picky and check the guitar top to bottom (like me) out of the box you will find minor imperfections - not the kind that will impede your playing, just some minor asthetic things with the paint. For $100 and change they're doing pretty good! read more

Value
This Epi Junior for a couple bucks more than the Squier 3/4 size I bought for my 10 year-old son....no comparison. Epi takes it hands down. Fender's cheap stuff is just that and it shows. This "cheap" Epi is very nice.

Manufacturer Support
Dunno.......but a lifetime limited warranty? Outstanding.

The Wow Factor
A great color combo with the white and black. I'm a sucker for white guitars though.

Musical Background:
professional amateur / 20+ years at home

Musical Style:
Rock, rock 'n' roll and rock
