EPIPHONE Les Paul Modern Figured Caribbean Blue Fade
Les Paul electric guitar with AAA flamed maple top and modern features
With the Epiphone Les Paul Modern Vintage Figured Caribbean Blue Fade, Epiphone is launching a Les Paul model to meet the contemporary demands of modern guitarists. The instrument from the Inspired by Gibson Collection offers some useful upgrades to the classic LP features and simplifies playing in the high registers with a contoured neck heel, while the asymmetrical slim taper profile offers the right thumb rest for every technique. The pickup setup has also been given some additional switching options with two extremely flexible Epiphone ProBucker humbuckers. Accordingly, both volume controls offer separate coil splits for airy single coil sounds, while the push/pull function of the tone controls switches both humbuckers separately out-of-phase. In addition, the Epiphone Les Paul Modern Vintage Figured Caribbean Blue Fade features a proprietary Epiphone LockTone Tune-o-Matic/Stopbar combination for resonant body connection and Grover Rotomatic locking tuners for quick and tuning stable string changes. This model features a AAA grade flamed maple top that beautifully adorns this great electric guitar.

Epiphone Les Paul Modern Figured Caribbean Blue Fade
Love this guitar. The quality feels good throughout and it plays beautifully right out of the box. This is the first ive had with coil tapping and the extra range of sounds makes this a versatile beast that's a joy to play. It was a fair bit lighter that I was expecting but that Les Paul tone is still there and the finish seemed very good for the price. Very pleased indeed!

The guitar itself plays nice but the state that it was delivered in and the service from DV247 was abysmal. Not only was part of my order missing but they sent me a guitar that was clearly used. The strings were well past their life. The neck of the guitar had a lot of dirt build up and there were several scratches all over the guitar. After many many emails with no reply, I called up. This still didn't resolve the issue. No acknowledgment or apology. Just a return. Dreadful service. Would recommend the guitar, but not from DV247.
