The Epiphone Les Paul Tribute Plus offers the authentic feel and the legendary Les Paul sound at an affordable price.
The solid mahogany body of the Les Paul Tribute Plus carries an arched Flamed Maple top. The set neck is also made from mahogany, while the rosewood fretboard is equipped with 22 medium jumbo frets. This wood combination, together with the design of the guitar, provides the well-known mid-singing Les Paul sound with long sustain.
The pickup selection of the Epiphone Les Paul Tribute Plus includes genuine Gibson USA humbuckers, delivering a wide range of sounds suitable for many different musical genres.
The pickups can be selected via a 3-way toggle switch, while individual volume and tone controls are available. The Humbucker can also be split via push / pull switches integrated into the tone knobs, making single-coil sounds part of the Epiphone Les Paul Tribute Plus repertoire.
The combination of the LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and the LockTone Stopbar tailpiece guarantees a perfect intonation and also contributes to the excellent resonance behavior of the guitar. High-quality Grover locking tuners ensure high tuning stability and simplifies string changes.

The product has come as well packed and I checked it if it's a display product or not but I couldn't even find a tiny stratch. Thanks to Music Store, they sent unboxed guitar. Sound is really great and powerful, all equipments from gibson. But I can't say that's good guitar for metal sounds. If you looking for more metal, you better look another model. It's classic an hard-rock guitar. This model has 2 way option for each pick up to use series or parallel. I really liked it.
The "Tribute" LP is an Epiphone Les Paul Standard with some differentiations that make it distinctive. It 22 Medium-Jumbo Frets and two different available neck profiles. It has the Standard Les Paul asymmetrical neck, or the 1960s SlimTaper neck which to me is much more comfortable then any other Gibson-Epiphone neck. Everything else on this guitar is fairly Standard except for a few extra features. The pickups are beautiful remakes of 57 PAF Les Paul pickups and they really kick. My guitar plays circles around my friends schecter, ESPs and Strats. It also has coil taps in the tone knobs which chnages the humbuckers sound into a thinner cross between a single coil and a P90. The final twist is a set of grover locking tuners that really do excellent work. The guitar came with a hardshell case and a warranty card which I forgot to fill out. I really have no complaints for this guitars features, everything does its job the way I need it to.
Very good guitar, assembly and price. The sound very pleasant, doesnt concede Gibson Studio. Already I played one concert, itself I didnt expect such cool sound - great sound. Thank you for the help in purchase of this guitar.
Amazing guitar with outstanding look.But the good is inside,pickups having nice warm, vintage sound with the 57 Gibsons.Works amazing for blues,classic rock,and some hard rock that i need.The slimmer taper neck is much more comfortable than other les paul i ever tried,in my opinion and the workmanship is really good.No fret buzz with the action been low enough from the factory.The body is a little bit heavy but not bad at all,cause it gives a nice feeling of touch.Overall,that guitar has details that make the difference and i suggest it to everyone who wants quality on build and sound whithout spending much.
Were can I start? Well I start by saying that I am speechless. This was my first epiphone and the sound of it....it sounds just like my friends gibson SG standard. I thought it would be a similar sound but it was basically an exact "copy" of a gibson sounding. The bodys wood isnt that great, but it does it job, besides, the pick-ups cost 200 euros so I think that compensates/ balances everything. If you want a guitar with an amazing sound and a stuning price, I undoubtedly recommend this guitar.
