NO RESERVE!

1996 Epiphone Les Paul gold sparkle top. Color is similar to a standard gold top, but with intense sparkle, like a Gretsch Jet, rather than the usual metallic.

All other specs the same as an Epiphone Les Paul of the same period.

Serial number 6080668. Made in Korea. (Epiphone guitars have been made in China for the last few years. The Korean made guitars' fit, finish, and quality of materials are generally considered to be superior.) "Epiphone Limited Edition" logo on back of headstock.

Very good condition, about an 8 on a scale of 10. Some relatively minor dings here and there. NO cracks, repairs, or issues. Looks great for a FOURTEEN year old rock 'n' roll Machine!

Pro set up and intonation...will oultplay most equivalent Epi Les Paul Standards hanging on the wall of your local big box music store. NEW .010-.046 strings. Straight neck, low action, NO fret wear, NONE, ZERO! Frets have their full height.

Pickguard and it's mounting bracket and screws are missing. The D string tuner is slightly bent, no big deal. Pickups have been changed out to Fender humbuckers. These are the same pickups that come in the the U.S. HSS Strats, as well as some of the higher end Korean Fenders, like the H/H Teles. Neck pickup reads around a PAF-ish 7.5 K ohms DC resistance, bridge is a smokin' 14K.

Neck profile is closer to a '59 than a '60...medium rounded, not super fat or super slim. Weighs approximately 8 15 - 9 pounds.

No case, will be double boxed for safe shipping.

If you can handle everything about the Les Paul except the price, check this out. Engineers designed this modern classic with the arched top and fast neck of the best Les Pauls. It has an arched, figured curly Maple, carved top, for that great LP look. And like all Les Pauls, features a solid glued neck joint for great sustain and stability. These guitars are built to 100% Gibson specifications. Since 1910 Epiphone has been building quality instruments and this Les Paul Standard will only enhance their great reputation.
