Epiphone Les Paul Plustop PRO/FX Floyd Rose - Desertburst
Epiphone Les Paul PlusTop PRO/FX
For decades, players who wanted that unparalleled Les Paul tone and sustain but required a double-locking vibrato to achieve their desired playing style were forced either to compromise, or to irreversibly modify expensive guitars. Not any more! The Les Paul Plustop PRO/FX combines all the great features and looks of a Les Paul but adds a double-locking Floyd Rose Special™ vibrato system and coil-tapping for an amazing combination of crunch and versatility. The result is a guitar that goes seamlessly from classic tones to ultra-modern performance.
Even underneath the 21st century features, the Les Paul Plustop Pro/FX benefits from both the sound and the look of the ingredients that go into it, just like legendary Les Paul Standards from as far back the late ’50s. Traditional Les Paul tonewoods of a solid mahogany back with gorgeous highly flamed maple top combine a rich yet clear sonic performance with sultry looks, in your choice of Desertburst, Honeyburst, Heritage Cherry Sunburst, or Vintage Sunburst finish. Round it off with the playing comfort of a solid mahogany neck with superfast SlimTaper™ “D” profile, and this guitar covers all the bases.

Body and Finish
The body of each Les Paul Plustop PRO/FX is crafted from solid mahogany with a flame maple top, in the timeless image of the Les Paul Standard. The guitar is finished in stunning Desertburst, Honeyburst, Heritage Cherry Sunburst, or Vintage Sunburst, each of which beautifully emphasized the dramatic maple top.
Pickups and Electronics
In the image of the original Les Paul Standard, the Les Paul Plustop PRO/FX carries a pair of Epiphone Alnico Classic humbucking pickups, but equips these for the modern player with a little added output in the bridge position, and 4-conductor wiring for individual coil splitting for each pickup via push/pull volume pots. The total package offers impressive tonal versatility, while retaining a classic look.
Neck, Fingerboard and Headstock
As with all classic Les Paul Standards, the Les Paul Plustop PRO/FX pairs a solid mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard and a back-angled headstock. These features all increase the guitar’s warmth, resonance and sustain, and—alongside the SimTaper™ “D” neck profile—help to make it a superbly playable instrument.
Hardware
The Les Paul Plustop PRO/FX’s hardware complement takes it right over the top, equipping this extraordinary guitar for the 21st century. A Floyd Rose Special™ vibrato unit—rare on a Les Paul—provides unprecedented sonic versatility, and high-quality Grover™ tuners and Epiphone StrapLocks round out a package that’s ready to rock right out of the case.
