The Les Paul-100 from Epiphone is in a more affordable boltneck version. The carved-top Mahogany body has a Mahogany neck with Rosewood fingerboard. The Mahogany body is a little thinner than LP Studio's or Standards.
All Epiphones feature a 14-degree headstock that gives more pressure at the nut and to get more sustain with less tuning hang-ups caused by "string-tree" gadgets.
Epiphone utilizes a double vacuum waxing process that ensures optimum performance. Epiphone's proprietary output jacks feature an improved contact shape and heavy-duty spring steel to increase reliability and ensure consistent performance.
Unlike guitars fitted with tremolos, there are no tuning or re-stringing difficulties. Plus, tone and sustain are improved because all string vibrations are transferred directly to the guitar.
