This 2005 Epiphone Les Paul Standard PlusTop in Translucent Red has just arrived with us and has been through a full workshop inspection and professional setup. Featuring a beautifully figured flame maple veneer over the classic Les Paul silhouette, this guitar delivers all the visual drama and rich sustain you’d expect from a proper single-cut heavyweight. The translucent finish practically glows under the light, with the flame figuring shifting like ripples beneath glass. ?
Condition-wise, the guitar is in very clean overall shape for its age, showing only light signs of use consistent with careful ownership. The original pickguard is no longer fitted, and the former mounting holes have been neatly filled with screws to maintain a tidy appearance across the top.
Tonally, this Les Paul Standard PlusTop offers the warm, full-bodied character that has made the model a staple for decades. The humbuckers provide plenty of punch and sustain, with articulate cleans, thick classic rock crunch, and smooth singing lead tones when pushed through overdrive. Freshly serviced and professionally set up, it plays comfortably across the neck and is ready for stage, studio, or sofa-session riff marathons alike.
