About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
At A GlanceNew from the Epiphone Modern Collection is the Les Paul Classic. This certainly has the classic 50s look we know and love but is packed with a number of excellent modern features. A pair of Alnico Classic Pros deliver all of your tonal needs while coil-splitting and phase switching open up even more options. If you have always wanted to own one of the most popular guitar models in the world, this a great choice given all of the player friendly appointments included here.
Features We Love:Alnico Classic Pro PickupsCreated with the traditional Alnico sound in mind, these provide that sound to the player but with a higher output and more modern touch. This allows the classic tone to easily be heard in a studio or live setting. The open coil zebra design adds an extra touch of class and with the coil-splitting options you have a full tonal arsenal at your disposal.
18:1 TunersWith excellent tuning stability these tuners are an excellent choice. An 18:1 ratio provides smooth and accurate tuning and makes for a very player friendly experience.
Graph Tech NutOften overlooked, the nut is a very important part of a guitar. It plays a huge role in the overall quality of the instrument due to the constant contact it has with the strings. Graph Tech are known for producing high quality guitar parts and the addition of this nut means that playability, performance and tone are all taken care of.

sorted bysome would argue weight improves the sound ...
But yeah unless you seek out a chambered body one they're going to be on the heavy side
Unless you play standing up a lot it won't be a problem ..or you could always get a junior !...they're great..used to have a Gibson one
Would have got one of these a few months ago ...but lack of deals pushed me to a 'artist' 59 Les paul ..another quality guitar for the money (edited)
I imagine these are just chucked in a box from China and never see a tech ever.
Have some heat anyway for the best price on a pretty guitar. (edited)
.. personally I'd take a honey burst finish over the cheaper ones (edited)
I want something to practice on unplugged to keep the noise down.
think 'baritone' guitars are a shorter scale.....does sound like you need to get to a shop and try some to be honest as the feel of a neck can be a funny thing for some
my 2 pence is ...for a long time i used to practice stuff unplugged...which is alright ...but you really need to use an amp of some sort...either quiet...and some can go really quiet and still sound good...especially ones with built in attenuators so can have a 0.5 watt setting....or use headphones/little headphone amp
so many things come into play...fretting notes too hard can make them sound out of tune...which you wont hear unplugged ...strumming quietly/loudly...muting strings cutting down on string noise...bending notes correctly...it's all about feel ..all really important stuff to learn as you go.
just my opinion but i've also found some guitars can be better with strumming open chords etc than others ..though as i said you can do it on any guitar ...personally i've always liked telecasters for that same reason..might be the way i play but they just work well for me . (edited)
