Les Paul Studio Gothic - All Black
 This product is no longer available.
The Goth Les Paul Studio is the ultimate slab of dark magic with all the classic features of a Les Paul finished in Pitch Black satin, black hardware, and open coil Alnico Classic™ Pickups.

Epiphone's history with the legendary guitarist and innovator Les Paul dates back to the early 1940's when Les, working late at night at the Epiphone factory on 14th St. in New York City, created what might have been the world's first solid-body electric guitar, better known as "The Log." Over the years, Les continued to work closely with Epiphone by reviewing new product ideas and offering suggestions. Epiphone always made a good guitar, Les liked to say fondly.

The Les Paul Studio was an important innovation of Les Pauls classic dream guitar. As the name implies, the Les Paul Studio was geared toward studio musicians who desired a basic, unadorned Les Paul that weighed less than vintage Standard models. Introduced in the early 80s, the Les Paul Studio instantly became a favorite for Les Paul lovers of all ages. The Epiphone Goth Les Paul Studio offers Les Paul fans a classic favorite with a fantastic dark Goth look.

I have owned 2 of these, the first one had a fat neck and was really heavy. The new one I bought has a slim D-profile neck and feels lighter. All in all this is a fantastic guitar, over time the matte finish turns to gloss, so buying a new one is certainly worth the upgrade. From Manitoulin island, Ontario

Have this for about a year now. Finished really well, the fret board and bridge was already set up perfectly out of the box. Tone seems a little darker than my other epiphone studio but sounds great for playing some classic rock or blues. It has a matt finish which can be a bit of a pain to clean but i just love the look of it. For the money, the best guitar I had yet.

This is a great guitar for the price. I love the clean and subtle looks of the all black design and the satin finish makes it feel sensuous and smooth. No sticky neck here on a hot day. I can't keep my hands off the thing and that is great motivator to practice. Now you will have to excuse me, Betty is missing me.

I have been playing for over 30 years, and owned many guitars in that time. This guitar is surprising for it's price range. I play mostly metal but also blues and rock and this guitar handles it flawlessly. The shape of the guitar hugs your body allowing easy access to the upper frets, and the pickups and sustain are impressive. I don't even bother with my other guitars anymore, this one does the trick. I have compared it to $1500 LTD's, Gibson, and Ibanez and this one has the best sound and playability. I honestly love that their are minimal fret inlays as it really messes with other guitar players trying to follow along or learn what I am playing.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
