Epiphone Les Paul Studio LT (Ebony) - Single Cut Electric Guitar

Product Information

The final difference is the finish. The “VE” in the designated name stands for “Vintage Edition.” Aside from this, this SG is like any other Special series guitar, which is Epiphone’s cheapest series. You may be well aware of the fact that the tuners on an electric guitar, or any stringed instrument, for that matter- can make or completely break the intonation. The Epiphone Studio LT does not offer best-of-the-line tuners but does provide a fairly average tuning mechanism that won’t go out of tune very frequently.

These design elements not only enhance the visual appeal of the guitar but also contribute to its overall playability and comfort. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned player, the Epiphone Les Paul Studio LT offers both quality craftsmanship and a stylish design that will inspire you to play with passion and precision. Performance and Sound The solid body on the Les Paul Studio LT is made out of mahogany wood which is an excellent choice for the body material. Inspired by the aesthetic of premium guitars, the Les Paul Studio LT features a sleek and elegant body.Since then, the brand has been used to produce budget copies of Gibson’s overpriced guitars as well as to make signature models for bands like The Beatles. Surprising Quality – Many reviewers were pleasantly surprised by the guitar’s finish and overall quality, considering its affordable price. The Les Paul Studio LT’s beautiful appearance and good sustain contribute to its overall appeal. The brand was known for the quality mandolins and banjos it sold. You probably didn’t know that the brand was also named the Epiphone Banjo Company in 1928, the same year it started producing guitars. The “worn” finish is just an aesthetic feature, but it does give it just a little more “refined” feel than the standard glossy finish of Epiphone’s Special series.

The Epiphone Les Paul Studio LT is a fantastic beginner guitar with quality hardware and electronics. The Les Paul Studio LT has been branded by Epiphone as the "introduction to the world's greatest electric guitar". It takes the same iconic look and sound, distilling it into a version that remains attainable for most guitarists out there. The Epiphone Les Paul Studio LT is a fairly versatile instrument, despite the fact that it falls into the “budget instrument” category. It is better than some of the bad Gibson Les Paul years, despite those guitars costing much more. Affordable Price – The Les Paul Studio LT falls into the budget instrument category, offering features that are typically found in higher-priced guitars.Lifetime Guarantee: Like all Epiphones, the Les Paul Studio LT comes with Epiphone's world famous Limited Lifetime Guarantee and Gibson 365/24/7 Customer Service. The big difference here is that the SG features only one volume and one tone control, which obviously makes it less versatile. In terms of sound quality, the Epiphone Les Paul Studio LT may not match up to high-end Les Paul guitars. However, considering its affordable price, it offers great value for money with decent performance and features. Can the Epiphone Les Paul Studio LT Be Used for Different Music Genres? One of those iterations is the Epiphone Les Paul Studio LT. This particular Les Paul copy was designed to be a budget, entry-level instrument, but there are a few interesting features that set it apart from other similar instruments.

Guitars in the mid-price range tend to substitute the guitar body material with cheaper woods like Alder or some Chinese-grown wood without much care for the tonal characteristics. I find that most woods do sound the same on an electric guitar. The separate controls feature is very helpful so that you don’t mess up one configuration while adjusting another. Sound of the Epiphone Les Paul Studio LT You may prefer leaving it to somebody more experienced but I like taking care of simple stuff like that on my own. It’s no different from tuning, really, and if you love to play music, you will be running into such encounters quite a bit. Learning to adjust the action will also save you time and money later on. If you’re a beginning or intermediate guitarist, you can’t go wrong with this instrument. It will make it much less hard to learn the guitar. In fact, we’re pretty certain that this guitar could serve you well even in the later stages of your musical career. Of course, the choice is up to you, and you can’t really go wrong with the SG either. The Les Paul is simply the better deal for the price. It’s not that much more expensive and still falls well within the budget category, but it is better made, sounds better and is more versatile.

Epiphone Les Paul Studio LT 6-string Electric Guitar Features:

In conclusion, the Epiphone Les Paul Studio LT proves to be a surprising gem in the realm of affordable electric guitars. Its impressive features and sound quality far exceed its price range, making it a fantastic option for both beginners and experienced players on a budget. On top of all this, the guitar’s design gives the impression of a far more expensive instrument, especially due to the carved top. Yes, aesthetics can be very important to guitarists. The Epiphone Les Paul Studio LT is great value for money. That is the main reason we chose it as our favorite entry-level electric guitar for metal music.

Both of these guitars fall into the affordable price range and both are quite popular with beginners. But they are quite different and the SG Special VE is also generally a bit cheaper.What if you wanted a good one right off the bat and didn’t want to upgrade your playing setup too soon? As far as full-size Les Pauls are concerned, the Epiphone Les Paul Studio LT electric guitar is one of the ideal guitars for beginners! The first obvious difference is the shape: it is the same double cutaway shape you see with any classic SG guitar. The materials differ as well. The SG body is made of poplar, instead of mahogany. It is much lighter than the LT. I was looking for a Les Paul that looked and sounded like a Les Paul without the insane cost of a Gibson. This hits that mark perfectly. It sounds good (to me, with my pedals & amp, which is subjective), arrived safely and well-setup (thank you Sweetwater!) and is quite comfortable to play. Even though it isn't a true Gibson LP, it does have hints of that familiar growl and scratches the LP itch that my other guitars can't quite reach. For the value, it's a no-brainer for a beginner guitar, practice guitar, project guitar, or someone who just wants to add a LP to their collection with the least financial commitment and the least compromise. The build quality of the Epiphone Les Paul Studio LT is decent. The design features, like the carved top and ergonomic indent, give it the appearance and feel of a more expensive guitar. Overall, it’s like a standard cheaper Les Paul guitar, only with a few unexpected additions, especially for its price level. It is available in a few different finishes, all of which give off the vibe of a more expensive guitar.
