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, LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge/stopbar and Epiphone’s own StrapLocks. Like every Epiphone, the electric guitar features their Limited Lifetime warranty backed by world famous 24/7/365 day Gibson Customer Service.

The Epiphone Nightfall electric guitar features a smooth, satin-finish hard maple neck with Epiphone’s thin SpeedTaper “D” profile. The hard maple neck is fitted with a premium ebony fingerboard for smooth, long-lasting performance, while providing more clarity and pop than a weasel in HD.The sturdy Epiphone Nightfall guitar neck makes it the perfect companion for the black, double-locking Floyd Rose® Special tremolo. The body is routed out beneath the tremolo, allowing you to raise the pitch up to 2-1/2 steps or dive-bomb until your strings go slack. It’s combined with an R4 locking nut for improved tuning stability.With the raging duo of an EMG-HZ-4A in the bridge and an HZ-4 in the neck, your solos will melt faces and your rhythms will be as chunky as homemade peanut butter. The passive pickups on the Epiphone Les Paul Nightfall do an incredible job of emulating their active counterparts—the EMG-81 and 85—yet require no batteries, so you’ll never have to worry about showing up to a gig with dead pickups. Each of these nearly silent ‘buckers is wired to allow coil-splitting via push/pull potentiometers on both volume controls. This gives you a total of 8 tones when combined with the 3-way toggle—from shrieking, eyebrow-piercing freq-outs to chest-caving bass blasts.Other features on the Epiphone Les Paul guitar include Grover machine heads, abalone inlay on the 12th fret, and Epiphone’s own StrapLocks.

The neck pickup is Epiphone’s Alnico Classic. It provides warm and subtle tone with a full, even response that doesn’t hold back when you need that classic humbucker crunch.
