Epiphone Les Paul Plus Top Pro FX Heritage Electric Guitar, Desertburst

Full Description

As with all Les Pauls, the PRO/FX features a solid Mahogany back with a highly flamed Maple 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 neck features a SlimTaper D profile that's both comfortable and fast. But that?s where the new LP PRO/FX takes a departure from tradition.

Double-Locking Floyd Rose Tremolo

Now featuring an original Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo that allows the guitarist to raise and lower pitch for classic "80's style" effects. The body is routed out in back of the tremolo to allow for pitch raising up to 2-1/2 steps while the downward range is wide enough to get the strings slack. It's combined with a R4 locking nut for improved tuning stability.

Classic Humbucker Pickups

In the neck position is Epiphone's Alnico Classic humbucker that provides warmth and subtle tone with a full, even response that doesn't hold back when you need that classic humbucker crunch! In the bridge position is the Alnico Classic Plus humbucker. A perfect companion to the Classic, it is overwound for a slighter higher output without sacrificing it's rich, vintage tone. Both feature Alnico-II magnets, enamel wire and are double vacuum waxed as well as 4-wire output. This allows for coil-tapping and this LP takes full advantage of it with push/pull potentiometers on both volume controls. Combined with the 3-way toggle, it gives you 6 killer tones in one great guitar.
