I wish it was the Gibson model and one day I just might be able to afford it, but this is just fine for now…more than fine.
Overview
Epiphone presents the 2017 Les Paul SL, the most affordable 2-pickup Les Paul ever made with a slim lightweight Poplar body with powerful Epiphone Ceramic pickups. Since the beginning of rock’n’roll, the Les Paul has been considered the ultimate electric guitar and Epiphone’s new Les Paul Standard Plain Top electric guitar lives us to the name.
