Epiphone Les Paul Express VS electric guitar

Les Paul Express VS

The Les Paul Express is the little Les Paul that roared. The Express captures the look, sound, and feel of a full size Les Paul but in a smaller package that’s perfect for younger players and for travel. Epiphone has incorporated in some unique design features to this small powerhouse. The body is still carved from Mahogany, but the neck on the Express is Hard Maple as opposed to the traditional Mahogany. This gives the guitar a little more of a brighter tone which effectively offsets the slightly looser string tension due to the shorter scale length. Additionally, the combination of the fully-adjustable "fixed" bridge with a string-through body design fits well on the smaller size body while adding sustain and making string changes a breeze. Finally, the neck is bolted in place securely using 4 recessed bolts set making upper fret access easier and very comfortable.
With the slightly looser string tension, it is important to have great tuners. Epiphone designed the new Express with premium, 14:1 ratio die-cast tuners to give you excellent tuning accuracy and stability.
