Epiphone 1960 Les Paul Tribute

’60s slim taper neck. Carved hard maple top and maple body. Gibson USA ‘57 classic humbuckers and much more

Over the years, Les continued to work closely with Epiphone by reviewing new product ideas and offering suggestions. The NEW Epiphone “Tribute” Les Paul Standards honor that relationship by combining “as good as it gets” performance and features with legendary Epiphone quality and value.

The Construction
The solid Mahogany neck with hand-fitted, glued-in joint extends well into the neck pickup cavity creating maximum neck-to-body contact and acting almost like one continuous piece of wood. Combined with the Mahogany/Maple body, the result is a tribute to Les’ timeless guitar design with the sound that you can only get from a Les Paul.

Using 4-conductor pickup wiring, Epiphone has added two push/pull tone pots to allow for series/parallel pickup switching. The result is a Les Paul with all the standard sounds plus a huge palette of tonal possibilities at your fingertips.

Like every Epiphone, it features their Limited Lifetime warranty backed by world famous 24/7/365 day Gibson Customer Service. This guitar is not only a tribute to Les Paul, it’s a tribute to just how good a guitar can be…TODAY!

Ibanez ART320 Artist Electric Guitar

The ART320 features set-neck construction, superior hardware and warm tones and sustain courtesy of the mahogany body. The ART320 also features a rosewood fingerboard, Gibraltar III bridge with Quik Change tailpiece and 2 active pickups.

Features
The finish is beautiful, the pickups are comparable and the set in neck is an awesome feature for the price! Great active pickups that take only two AA batteries. Hardware is nice, stays in tune well.

Quality
All hardware is tight, fits well, and I don’t fear anything falling off or breaking. You will not find a better quality guitar in this price range.

Sounds
It is a great sound for classic rock or metal. The active pickups have a slightly muddy sound to them and they sustain forever. Sounds great as long as the battery still there.
