Let’s start with its body. The main material is mahogany, pretty much the same thing you find on most Les Paul guitars, whether it’s from Gibson or any other brand. It also has the distinct Les Paul carved top.

On top of all this, the guitar’s design gives the impression of a far more expensive instrument, especially due to the carved top. Yes, aesthetics can be very important to guitarists. The brand was known for the quality mandolins and banjos it sold. You probably didn’t know that the brand was also named the Epiphone Banjo Company in 1928, the same year it started producing guitars. With these modifications, the Epiphone Les Paul Studio LT can transform into a top-tier instrument that rivals guitars at a much higher price point. Frequently Asked Questions How Does the Epiphone Les Paul Studio LT Compare to Other High-End Les Paul Guitars? This guitar's all-mahogany body is slightly slimmer than a standard Les Paul, making it more lightweight and much easier to handle during those long practice and studio sessions. Despite this, the body is still solid, and helps you experience that tell-tale Les Paul sound and playing experience.I was looking for a Les Paul that looked and sounded like a Les Paul without the insane cost of a Gibson. This hits that mark perfectly. It sounds good (to me, with my pedals & amp, which is subjective), arrived safely and well-setup (thank you Sweetwater!) and is quite comfortable to play. Even though it isn't a true Gibson LP, it does have hints of that familiar growl and scratches the LP itch that my other guitars can't quite reach. For the value, it's a no-brainer for a beginner guitar, practice guitar, project guitar, or someone who just wants to add a LP to their collection with the least financial commitment and the least compromise. Overall, it’s like a standard cheaper Les Paul guitar, only with a few unexpected additions, especially for its price level. It is available in a few different finishes, all of which give off the vibe of a more expensive guitar. If you’re a beginning or intermediate guitarist, you can’t go wrong with this instrument.

These design elements not only enhance the visual appeal of the guitar but also contribute to its overall playability and comfort.

Epiphone Les Paul Studio LT 6-string Electric Guitar Features:

While it’s geared toward players who are looking to get into metal, it’s got lots of features to add value to any musical genre you decide to play. I find that it’s a great instrument for somebody on a budget who wants a quality instrument with good parts. A coil-split or coil-tap feature would be a good addition, although you can’t expect more features at this price level
