The Epiphone Les Paul Studio was introduced in 1998 and came with trapezoid inlays until 2004, when Epiphone switched over to dot fingerboard inlays. The Les Paul Studio is Epiphone's entry level set-neck, carved top Les Paul with the same basic construction as the Les Paul Standadrd, but without the nicer appointments like neck and body binding. The Epiphone Les Paul Studio has been produced in several varieties including Deluxe, 7-String and Goth models. |
