Overview
The Epiphone Limited Edition Les Paul Plustop Pro Electric Guitar features ProBucker Pickups with coil-tapping. Out of all of Les Paul's many achievements; inventor, guitarist, and hit recording artist, Les is most beloved among musicians for inspiring the Les Paul Standard, one of the most sought-after guitars in the world. And now, the Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plustop PRO gives the legend a fresh start with ProBucker-2 and ProBucker-3 pickups with coil-tapping, and a AAA flame maple veneer top.
Epiphone's history with legendary guitarist and innovator Les Paul dates back to the early 1940s when Les, working nights at the Epiphone factory on 14th Street in New York City, created one of the first solid body electric guitars, better known as "The Log."

It's reaching a point that Epiphone is surprising me more and more
There are more Good Quality instruments than shoddy built ones these days
and even the lower end Epi's are showing Non-Stop likeability.
Keep It Up Epiphone!!
Sound
Great!! Real improvement in Pickups
Features
Genuine Grover Tuners Includes a tag of Quality Assurance stating If they ever fail they will be repaired or replaced. Improved neck- Build is tight. Much better than I remember, no sloppy binding work noticed Great Vintage sounding pickups. Just what I wanted
Ease of Use
Your hands will never tire of this Fine Instrument.
Quality
Pristine Quality. If they are shooting for Fuji Japan Quality someone has been receiving good instruction on improvements across the line and it is stacking up. Hard to find a flaw
Value
Compared to my former 2008 LP Std. PlusTop Pro it is a step up in Quality. From headstock to endpin this guitar has had a makeover. Real Grover Tuners- a Noticeable difference from 2008. Well built neck delivers wonderful performance. Pickups are the sound wanted and don't need replacing She's Heavy - Not relieved by Ultra Modern Tech, "Can Ya Feel Me" she beckons
Manufacturer Support
I've dealt with Gibson Authorized Repair Centers and if you can find one that actually Likes dealing with Gibson and doesn't… read more try to sell you the place you Could perhaps get warranty service. It's more about selling you upgrades
The Wow Factor
Get it out of that castrated jumpsuit they tie it all up in and Look Out!! It's taking over the room with Beauty and Thick, Enormous Tone
