Les Paul Gone Goth

Epiphone has been manufacturing instruments since 1873, playing an active role in the cultural impact guitars and other stringed instruments have had over the century.

Mahogany Likes it Dark

I was suprised at the quality of this guitar. The neck action is sweet and the sound is what I would expect from a les paul! I purchased this as a gift for my son's 16th birthday. I am satisfied that he will grow with this professional quality guitar for years to come.
