The super-fast, slim-tapered, D-shaped neck, along with an Alnico Classic Pro neck pickup and high-output ProBucker-3 Pro bridge pup, is built for more aggressive modern playing styles. Coil-splitting gives you twice the tones to choose from. Epiphone's history and association with Les Paul dates way back to the days when Les, working at the Epiphone factory on 14th St. in New York, created the world's first electric guitar. Over the years, Les continued to work closely with Epiphone by reviewing new product ideas and offering suggestions. The Epiphone Les Paul Traditional Pro electric guitar combines the best of Les Paul's original design with new features that set this Epiphone guitar apart. Professional Electronics. The Les Paul Traditional Pro uses Epiphone's 4-wire, nickel/silver base humbuckers with newly tooled, USA-style bobbins. In the neck position is the Alnico Classic Pro humbucker with Alnico-II warm, thick vintage tone and open zebra coils. It's uniquely paired with Epiphone's ProBucker-3 humbucker. An inspired by version of Gibson's BurstBucker-3, the Les Paul guitar features unevenly wound coils and Alnico-II magnets that replicate that "Patent Applied for" airy tone. You'll love the way they sound! To top it all off, both volume controls feature push/pull potentiometers allowing you to coil-split each pickup for single-coil sounds. Combined with the 3-way toggle, you get 6 unique sounds from one great Les Paul guitar. Tone Woods with Great Feel! The Epiphone Les Paul Traditional Pro guitar has a solid mahogany back with a carved top and a solid mahogany neck that's hand-fitted and glued into the body for excellent neck-to-body contact and acting almost like one continuous piece of wood. The guitar neck features a SlimTaper D profile with a smooth and fast "worn" type finish on the back of the neck and body. Loaded with premium add-ons! Other features on the Epiphone Les Paul included quality Grover tuners, a traditional cream-colored pickguard...

Superb Les Paul Guitar
I've always had a desire for a Goldtop Les Paul and, after extensive research reading reviews and, watching video reviews I decided on this one. Let me first say that I do not always purchase guitars sight unseen. Many of the instruments that I own I have played B4 I purchased but, not this one. For one thing they are hard to find and, I do live in a rural area which makes it difficult to have access to hand on deals. I was definately pleased with this instrument when I received it and, it did come with a new Epiphone hard case. This was a plus because it does not come with a case in a normal purchase. Read the product description here on Amazon it is very accurate and, tells all about this guitar in great detail. I will add that the playability,sound,construction and, looks of this guitar is SUPERB !!! I'm not going to go into a long review because it's not needed. I am VERY PLEASED with this guitar and, I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new Les Paul especially a Goldtop version like this one. On the back of the headstock it says Custom Shop Limited Edition from Epiphone. I'm not sure that this guitar is a limited run model but, if it is I'm sure glad I got one!!!!!

Great sounding guitar
I own 2 1960 Classic reissue Les Pauls, and I would easily rate the tone of this guitar right up there with them, and the versatility of coil tapping makes this guitar an excellent buy.
