Epiphone Les Paul Standard Long Tenon Neck - Honey Burst, 1994 - used

This Paula is a real gem! For a guitar that is over 30 years old, it is in very good condition – and it also comes in the Honey Burst finish, which is rather uncommon among Korean-made Les Pauls.

The flamed maple-style top has a beautiful grain and no major damage, only light signs of use. The neck has also been very well preserved. On the back, there are a few touched-up areas and the typical signs of use you would expect from a Les Paul after more than 30 years.

The neck is pleasantly slim – a typical ’60s-style profile – and feels fantastic in the hand. It plays really smooth.

Tonally, the original Epiphone humbuckers do exactly what a good Paula should: fat, warm, with nice sustain and a singing quality. Just plug it in and enjoy.

One special feature of this guitar is the long-tenon neck joint. This is not only found on some of the well-known Czech-made Epiphone Les Pauls, but also on certain Korean models – like this one. The truss rod access is also designed in the classic Gibson style.

The frets showed signs of wear and were carefully leveled, recrowned and polished by us. We then gave the guitar a complete setup. It now plays beautifully and is ready for the next 30 years.

An exceptionally beautiful and well-preserved Korean Les Paul Standard with plenty of character. And anyone who has ever played a good Korean-made one from this era knows exactly what they are holding.
