That trademark Les Paul shape in an economical package, including two open-coil Alnico V Humbucker pickups – 700T at the bridge, 650R at the neck - for great classic sound and the Tune-o-matic bridge/ Stopbar tailpiece combo for sustain and that signature tone. The Epiphone Les Paul Special II electric guitar is made with a basswood body, bolt-on mahogany neck, smooth 22-fret rosewood fingerboard, and dot inlays. This baby is every bit as handsome as its uptown cousins.

The Epiphone Goth Thunderbird IV Bass guitar has great looks, action and tone. Start with the classic look and feel of the legendary Thunderbird Bass, add 2 ceramic TB Plus bass pickups and gothic appointments and you’ve got a bass that is made to rock. Classic Thunderbird lines are executed with a mahogany body and 34"-scale hard maple neck with a rosewood fretboard and Gothic inlay at the 12th fret. The pickguard is dressed up with a Celtic cross while the black-on-black hardware and satin black finish give it a decidedly dark demeanor. 2 Thunderbird Plus pickups provide appropriate growl.

His lasting legacy and standard for all solid body guitars to come. Epiphone's Les Paul Standard Plain Top electric guitar gives you the gorgeous looks and tone of a Gibson Les Paul at a more accessible price. Two Alnico Classic humbucking pickups deliver big slabs of the fat warm tones; transcontinental sustain; and deep, soulful distortion that made this guitar famous. This guitar is sturdy, light weight (compared to other Les Pauls such as the Gibson), smooth look and feel (thinner neck, and lighter less dense wood), and sounds absolutely perfect.

Simplified controls and minimalist styling provide great functionality and elegant visual appeal while powerful Vintage Alnico V Plus pickups give it plenty of bite. Drawing on the classic 335 vibe, with maple top, back, sides, and set neck, the Epiphone Dot Studio guitar dishes out hot blues and rock when overdriven or thick jazz tones clean.

Description Ibanez’s newest acoustic series, the SGT or Sage Traditional, is another breakthrough by Ibanez in offering more high-end features at more affordable prices. Originally inspired by the impressive selection and quality of Ibanez’s “1st Golden Age of Acoustics” of the mid-‘70s and very early ‘80s, the Ibanez SGT110 Sage Series Acoustic Guitar features a Grand Concert Body. Beautiful sunburst finishes and natural high gloss finishes combined with large classic pickguards contribute to the SGT’s understated vintage styling. The shape of the headstock, body, pickguard and bridge recall a time when things were just a bit more ornate, and pride in craftsmanship was much easier to find. In appearance, sound, and playability, the Ibanez SGT110 Guitar sets a new benchmark in entry-level guitars. The grand concert body shape is particularly well-suited for fingerpicking, but sounds great in any style.

Originally inspired by the impressive selection and quality of Ibanez’s “1st Golden Age of Acoustics” of the mid-‘70s and very early ‘80s, the Ibanez SGT120 Sage Series Acoustic Guitar features a dreadnought body.

In appearance, sound, and playability, the SGT sets a new benchmark in entry-level guitars. The Ibanez SGT120 Sage Series Acoustic Guitar features a solid spruce top that not only sounds great now, but will continue to age and improve over time. The dreadnought body shape is particularly well-suited for making yourself heard in a group, but the tones are certainly sweet enough for it to stand on it's own.
