While the new Epiphone Les Paul Express mini electric is still a true Les Paul at heart, Epiphone incorporated some unique design features. This was to ensure that the guitar performs well for beginners, as well as professionals looking for a travel guitar. While the body is made from Mahogany like most classic Les Pauls, the neck on the Express is Okoume. This gives the guitar a little more high-end “bite” or brighter tone, which effectively offsets the slightly looser string tension due to the shorter scale length. Additionally, the fully adjustable Epiphone FB-601 “fixed” bridge makes string changes a breeze. Finally, the neck is securely bolted using four recessed bolts set into a tapered heel making upper fret access easy.
The Les Paul Express features an Epiphone 650R neck position humbucker and an Epiphone 700T in the bridge position. Both pickups share the same qualities as Seth Lover’s original PAF humbuckers of the late ’50s, with an infinite variety of tone colors and sounds.
With the slightly looser string tension, it’s even more important to have great machine heads. Epiphone designed the new Les Paul Express mini with premium, 14:1 ratio die-cast machine heads. This results in you having excellent tuning accuracy and stability.
