2007 Epiphone SLASH Les Paul Standard Plus Top Electric Guitar w/OHSC
Item Description
2007 Epiphone Slash Les Paul Standard Plus Top in excellent condition with little to no playwear on the front or back. There are a couple of small dings on the sides and back edges. Vintage Sunburst finish on a nice flame maple top with antique white binding and chrome hardware. The guitar has a nice action and slightly fuller '50's profile neck with a bound rosewood fretboard has a great feel. The frets are in excellent condition.These model guitars not only used the fuller profiled neck which many think transfers vibration better, increasing resonance, the neck is attached using a long tenon. This is a feature that many top players feel is the key to resonance and tone.The AlNiCo Pro-II pickups sound great. If you're used to the sound of Gibson's 498's and 500T's, you'll be struck with how open and breathy the Alnico Pro-II sounds. This is an instrument with quality components and features that put it in a much higher class. Looks, plays and sounds great! Includes the original Slash insignia Epiphone hard shell case and the original pickguard that has never been mounted. Serial Number: EE070907558 Weight:   8 lbs.    0 oz.Key Features:  Vintage Sunburst Flamed Maple Top Dual Humbucking Pickups Epiphone Hard Case Long Neck Tenon

If you're a dyed-in-the-wool Slash fan, and the budget doesn't stretch to the USA version, stop reading this now and just buy this guitar. Seriously. However, if like the majority of people you're trying to work out exactly where it sits between the Epiphone LP Standard Plus Top and the USA Gibson Les Paul Standard, there are a few things worth considering. First and most important, Epiphone has chosen the right woods for this guitar (bearing in mind that some Epi LPs have used an alder body). You get a one-piece solid mahogany back with a maple cap that measures around 5/8ths-inch thick at the back of the bridge pickup cavity. The set mahogany neck comes complete with the very important long-tenon joint that extends beneath the neck pickup cavity. To help in the aesthetic department the lovely flamed maple is in fact a thin veneer mated to the plain maple top, before the whole thing is finished in high-gloss polyurethane. This will stay bright and shiny for decades, unlike a nitro-cellulose-finished USA Les Paul Standard which will take on the patina of age relatively quickly if used and abused enough. Hardware The bridge and tailpiece are nickel-plated, which will tarnish much more quickly than chrome, much to the chagrin of owners who like to keep it all looking A1. Staying with aesthetics, while the body binding is very tidy, there's less than 1mm of it visible from the front. On a Gibson Les Paul, it's closer to 2mm; a subtle point but it does matter if you're used to looking at those lovely '59-style LPs. There are practical benefits to Epiphone's LockTone bridge and tailpiece. As any long-suffering tune-o-matic/stop tailpiece users will know, the parts are free to fall off when restringing, but here Epiphone has developed a spring-loaded clip system that holds them on. This arrangement is not as secure as the TonePros type, but much better than standard fare. Epiphone is also claiming tonal benefits, drawing on the theory that anything that's physically locked down will transfer vibration better. There's some sense in that, but the parts are more sprung in place than physically locked down. We could be splitting hairs here - we don't hear too many complaints about the tone of a great Les Paul with standard hardware. The biggest issue is loose or rattling saddles: no such worries with the Epiphone Slash. Feel The neck feels fantastic. Slash's preferred chunky '50s profile feels suitably massive in your hand; thick shoulders and no concessions whatsoever to speed freaks brought up on skinny, flat profiles. Similarly impressive is the fingerboard; we've had Gibsons that need work from new, but not this more lowly Epi. This attractive rosewood slab is super smooth and lovely to play, helped no end by a commendable fret job. The acrylic trapezoid inlays are neat too, if not as attractive as those on many a USA and especially Custom Shop Les Paul.Finally the peghead and tuners: green keys. Epiphone's standard headstock pitch is 14 degrees, while the 'correct' Gibson angle is 17 degrees (the shallower pitch means less down pressure over the nut).
