Epiphone Les Paul Studio, Wine Red

Full Description

Simple Design. Complex Tone

No nonsense. Straight to the point. The Epiphone Les Paul Studio is the embodiment of simplicity. But don't be fooled into thinking that it's not every bit as incredible as the Standard. The Studio takes the classic Epiphone tone and makes it accessible for entry level players.

80s character meets modern playability. The Les Paul Studio gets its charm and charisma from two signature humbucker pickups. Whether you're looking for warm and punchy mids or acute, responsive lows, these alnico double coils are as full bodied as they come. From Punk to Blues, this flagship model can do it all.

Epiphone guitars are renowned for their deep, rumbling tone. The Studio is no different. Used by the world's biggest recording artists, the iconic Les Paul sound has been heard in a multitude of genres. This really is an instrument that is greater than the sum of its parts. Who said simple had to mean boring.

A Guitar that Shaped a Generation

Few guitars are as iconic as the Les Paul. With its single cutaway design and perfectly sculpted curves, it's easy to see why it took the 80s by storm. Now, it's been reinvented to usher in a new music revolution.

Crafted from solid mahogany, this is a body that sings with sweet sustain. Both pickups are mounted directly onto the maple top, resonating with the natural qualities of the wood. The results are obvious. Warm, textured tone that's as recognisable as it is unique. A huge feat that's made to look easy.

If there's one thing the Studio is known for, it’s its effortless playability. Whether you're a seasoned shredder or a laid back rhythm player, finger positioning is easy on a Pau Ferro fretboard that's been given the slim taper treatment. Up high, you have unlimited access to reach stratospheric lead lines, and down low, you can play chords in comfort for hours on end. This is about to change what you thought about playing the guitar.

Bridge the Gap Between Practicality and Perfection

Sure. The Studio looks modest, but it can go toe to toe with any big contender. Epiphone have worked tirelessly not only to bring you enhanced playability, but to deliver tuning stability that far surpasses the industry standard.

Discover pitch perfect playing with the LockTone ABR Tune-o-matic bridge. With the ability to adjust each string length using the corresponding screws, you can achieve impeccable intonation. There's a reason why Epiphone have kept this innovative design for over 60 years.

But the bridge can't take all the glory. Your strings will be singing in key thanks to Grover's signature machine heads. Admired worldwide, these tuning machines mean business. Rest assured that your tuning will stay rock solid, no matter what environment you find yourself playing in.

Tonal Control for the Versatile Player

You're not a one trick pony. So you need a guitar that can do it all. The Epiphone Les Paul Studio has been tried and tested across a myriad of genres, bringing its bespoke flair to each party.

Go from bright high end to rounded lows with the 3-way pickup toggle. This sensitive selector is everything you need to take your tone on a journey it won't forget.

Just like Bonnie and Clyde, two Tone pots work in harmony to bring depth and texture to your guitar sound. Dial your high frequencies with precision with full tonal control of each pickup. This is timbre that is sure to turn heads, no matter where you are.
