The Epiphone Les Paul Traditional Pro IV LE (Limited Edition) solid-body electric guitar is a lower intermediate price with an elegant look, feel, and sound. The guitar features the powerful Alnico Classic Pro humbuckers. The Les Paul Traditional Pro offers the warm tones of classic rock and a nostalgic design that you will enjoy playing at your next gig.
This is the more expensive version of the Epiphone Les Paul guitars that I own. While the guitar was usable right out of the box, I lowered the action and replaced the factory-installed 9s with my preferred 8/38s. It plays superbly, and the finish on this guitar is gorgeous.
