2005 Epiphone Les Paul Classic (Quilted Top) Electric Guitar

This is a spiffy-looking, Korean-made, Les Paul Classic from '05. It has a fancy quilted-maple top over solid mahogany back and sides. The neck joint is set and it has a late-'50s-ish/early-'60s-ish sort-of neck profile. It's quick but not too thin once you get to the middle of the neck.

I took this guy as a trade-in and after giving it a bit of cleaning and a setup, it's playing spot-on and good to go. I've known this guitar for a while -- I set it up years ago -- and when it came back to the shop it was still playing just the same as when it left. I just had to adjust the setup a bit on restring as the owner was running 52w-12 gauges beforehand.

At 8 lbs, 10 oz it's still a rather heavy guitar (it's a Les Paul, after all), but that's really not bad for this type of guitar which routinely clocks-in at the mid-9s.

Condition notes: it has average usewear throughout but overall it looks good -- there's some mild buckle-rash on the back (just indented finish), nicks and bumps on the bottom near the endpin, and scuffs and scratches here and there. The headstock is marked "2nd" but I'm not sure why -- maybe it had a finish flaw somewhere when built? Age has covered up that detail, if so! The guitar is functionally perfect and visually quite nice.

It comes with: a gigbag.
