With the Epiphone Les Paul SL, new players will develop skills and techniques that directly translate to one of the most popular electric guitars ever made. Master Volume and Master Tone controls make it easier and faster to explore a range of sounds; compared to having separate volume and tone controls for each pickup. And the Les Paul SL features an intonated stopbar tailpiece that you won't have to adjust for optimum tuning — one less thing on your instrument to fuss with. If you're looking for a starter guitar that will inspire you to keep playing, we definitely recommend the Les Paul SL.
