With the Epiphone Power Players Les Paul, Epiphone addresses young beginners and experienced players looking for a handy travel guitar. For this purpose, the original design of the Les Paul was slightly scaled down and provided with a shortened 577 mm scale length to improve playability for children and teenagers and to make the first riffs and licks as easy as possible. But also adult guitarists will appreciate the Power Players Les Paul as a compact travel guitar and the perfect companion for on the road or as a comfortable sofa instrument with its smooth bendings and simplified layer play. Furthermore, the Epiphone Power Players Les Paul provides useful accessories to make the first lessons on the new instrument as easy as possible.
3/4+ Mahogany Les Paul
The body design of the Epiphone Power Players Les Paul follows the official shape of the legendary Les Paul with reduced dimensions. Thus, the mahogany body offers improved handling with reduced weight and features a contoured neck base that optimizes access to the high fingerboard positions. The neck is also made of mahogany and features a slim taper D profile on the back for an uncramped thumb rest for the ideal implementation of first-playing techniques.
The Epiphone Power Players Les Paul Lava Red with reduced dimensions and shortened 577 mm scale length is the perfect introduction for young and old into the world of guitar playing.
Epiphone 650R & 700T Humbucker
In order to skilfully realize the entire sound of the legendary Les Paul, Epiphone gives the Power Players Les Paul two Epiphone 650R and 700T humbuckers known from the big LP models. The 650R on the neck delivers warm and vocal neck sounds, while the 700T in bridge position presents itself as the perfect pickup for hot rock and metal sounds. Both pickups have separate volume and tone controls and are selected via a three-position toggle switch.
Useful accessories included
The extensive accessories of the Epiphone Power Players Les Paul provide everything you need to get started right away! The practical Epiphone gig bag is perfect for transporting to lessons or first rehearsals and has a water-repellent outer cover and a generous accessory compartment. Here you can easily store the included picks, the strap for playing standing up and the instrument cable for connecting the electric guitar to amplifiers or effects units.
Amazing guitar for the price. The colour is incredible (don't think it is offered on mainstream EPi and Gibson models). But what matters most is ALSO incredible: the handling, the setup (perfect out of the box, was even in tune), and the SOUND. Plugged into several amps I have, tube or solid, they do deliver straight or through my Boss GT. No buzz, perfect fretwork. Maybe I got lucky number but this one was for a kid, I am buying one for myself too :) Well done! Compared to others like Squier mini or Ibanez PG, this is for me the best of the range, if somewhat pricier. Nice set of accessories are included.
