The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Gibson-designed ProBucker or Burstbucker pickups for authentic Les Paul tone. Set-neck mahogany construction for the classic warmth and sustain. Same iconic body shape and design as Gibson, at an accessible price. Modern build quality that professional touring musicians increasingly trust.
Swap the stock strings for a premium set like Elixir Optiweb or Ernie Ball Paradigm - you'll be amazed at how much extra clarity and sustain is hiding in this guitar. It's the easiest, cheapest upgrade you can make.
The Epiphone Les Paul delivers the iconic experience at a price that makes the dream real. Modern Epiphones are closer to Gibson than ever - same shapes, proven pickups, time-tested construction. The gap between a $400 Epiphone and a $2,500 Gibson is real but increasingly subtle, and thousands of professional touring musicians prove nightly that Epiphones hold their own on the biggest stages.
