With its thick slab of mahogany and carved maple top, it can be uncomfortable - not to mention heavy - for many players. It's fair to say the Les Paul is a fairly chunky guitar. However, if you find yourself craving the second pickup, you're in luck as Epiphone offers the Les Paul Special, as well. So if you're looking for a no-nonsense guitar that you can just plug in, turn up and let rip, then this has to be the best option for you. Epiphone has also included the Deluxe Vintage tuners, which completes the retro vibe. Featuring a sturdy mahogany body, and chunky 50s profile neck - which is not for the faint of heart - and a single dog-ear P-90 pickup.
The Epiphone Les Paul Junior has all the DNA that made the original so beloved. Like the punks that made the Junior their own, this pickup has bags of attitude. All it cares about is tone - and boy, does it have it in spades! This 1950s classic is certainly one to try if you haven't heard the aggressively mid-focused sound of the P-90. Unlike the other guitars on this list, the Junior isn't concerned with a fancy carved top, binding, or even two pickups, for that matter. Conceived initially as a student model and later picked up by countless punk and rock players, the Les Paul Junior is famed for its no-nonsense playability and spikey tone. There is something so elegantly simple about a Les Paul Junior. So if you’re looking for a pure Les Paul tone, with none of the flashy extras, then the Studio is the perfect choice for you. The other options are Smokehouse Burst, Wine Red, and Ebony. It's great to see a few new colors available, with the Alpine White giving you the option of channeling your inner Frank Iero or Jade Puget. The coil-split option also means the Studio lives up to its name as the perfect recording partner.

Straying slightly from the other models on this list, the Studio is equipped with the Alnico Classic PRO pickup set, which offers a somewhat different flavor from the standard ProBucker found on the other models.
This Epiphone version has the exact same mission statement, offering players the thunderous LP tone they're searching for in a no-nonsense, affordable package. Originally released in '83 as a stripped-down alternative to the flashy Les Paul Standard, the Studio offered the same great tone, without all the bells and whistles. The Les Paul Studio has gone on to develop an identity all of its own.
So if you're looking for a straightforward LP that won't break the bank, then this has to be it. Featuring the surprisingly great-sounding ProBucker humbuckers, as well as CTS potentiometers - which is a nice touch - this Les Paul just rocks. At the end of the day, this is the guitar all the others on the list are measured against and is what we think about as the quintessential affordable Les Paul. If we had to recommend one guitar, it would be the Epiphone Les Paul Standard 60s.
