Descripton:
I'll be honest ... despite the number of guitars that come through our shop, I didn't even know this model existed until it was traded in. This is a 2019 Epiphone Les Paul Traditional Pro Plus III in Heritage Cherry Sunburst. Looks like a standard Epi Les Paul, but there's a lot more under the hood here. Starting with Gibson USA '57 pickups with the awesome zebra coils, you also get active electronics (per the 9v battery compartment on the back) that give you a gain boost via a push/pull pot AND coil tapping and phase reversal via other push/pull pots. Grateful Dead? Peter Green? Jimmy Page? Yes to all and then some. Very cool to be able to coax so many tones from an otherwise classicly styled Les Paul.
Tested 100% fully functional. No case, box or accessories. Very good condition overall, but the back of the neck does have some impressions that you can feel if you are searching for them. They don't affect playability, but worth noting. See the close-up picture.
As always, this guitar has been treated to a brand new set of strings and a deluxe setup here in the shop. That includes a full fret polish, setting neck relief / truss rod, dialing in nut slot height and string action, setting the pickup height and more! So, you can rest assured that it is playing its absolute best!
From Epiphone:
