2008 Epiphone Goldtop Standard Les Paul Limited Edition Custom Shop
Made in Korea
Condition: Collector's Item
Les Paul Goldtop starts with a traditional Les Paul body, consisting of a hand-selected, premium solid mahogany back based on historically-correct specifications, topped with A-grade maple.
The neck is also crafted from premium mahogany then glued into the body using a TiteBond wood glue, utilizing a long-neck tenon typically found on the Les Pauls from the late 1950s and early 1960s. Extending well into the neck pickup cavity, the long-neck tenon provides additional strength and stability to the neck, and offers more wood-to-wood contact between the neck and body, which ultimately results in sweeter tone and longer sustain.
The neck also features a custom neck profile patterned exclusively from the neck on Slash's original Les Paul and a rosewood fingerboard fitted with 22 nickel/silver alloy medium-jumbo frets.
The pickups are the same ones used by Slash in many of his Les Pauls - Seymour Duncan Alnico Pro-II - providing the same crunch, power and performance as Slash gets when he cranks up any one of his personal Les Pauls.
The finish on the new Slash Les Paul Goldtop is the same Goldtop finish introduced on the original Les Paul model in 1952.
Epiphone's patent-applied-for LockTone Tune-o-matic and stopbar tailpiece, vintage nickel hardware and tulip-button tuners, fully shielded electronics cavities, 12-inch radius fingerboard, custom truss rod cover, and the stamped "Limited Edition" logo on the back of the headstock.
