The popular Epiphone Tribute Series—long celebrated as a gateway into the world of Epiphone guitars for countless players—continues to grow with the introduction of the Epiphone Les Paul Tribute Plus. Designed for beginner and intermediate-level musicians, this model combines timeless Les Paul style with high-quality craftsmanship and modern playability, delivering the kind of performance that inspires confidence and creativity from day one.
Overview
The Les Paul Tribute Plus embodies the spirit of the legendary Gibson Les Paul design, featuring a solid mahogany body with a carved AAA flame maple veneer top that looks every bit as good as it sounds. Its single-ply top binding adds a touch of elegance, while the gloss finish enhances the wood’s natural depth and grain.
A bolt-on mahogany neck is paired with a comfortable 60s SlimTaper Rounded C profile, designed for smooth playability across the entire fretboard. The sculpted heel joint allows for improved access to higher frets, making this guitar as practical as it is beautiful. The bound laurel fingerboard features 22 medium jumbo frets and pearloid trapezoid inlays for a classic Les Paul look and feel.
The 60s Kalamazoo-style headstock completes the vintage-inspired aesthetic and is fitted with durable die-cast tuners for reliable tuning stability.
Under the hood, a set of Epiphone 650R (neck) and 700T (bridge) humbuckers deliver a powerful, full-bodied tone with ceramic magnets and zebra coil construction hidden beneath nickel covers. From smooth, warm cleans to aggressive overdrive, these pickups capture the versatility that Les Pauls are known for.
An Epiphone LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece ensure easy string height and intonation adjustments, while providing exceptional sustain and tuning consistency.
Affordable, durable, and visually stunning, the Les Paul Tribute Plus is an excellent first serious electric guitar or an upgrade that will continue to serve you well throughout your musical journey.
An optional Epiphone gig bag or hardshell case is available separately.
