This, of course, is part of the deal with the Les Paul. Those yet to be dissuaded know just what to do: get a thick, padded strip with plenty of width to spread that weight across the shoulder. Those looking for a lighter load would be advised to pick an alternative model – a Modern, say, which has weight-relief cut into its body to be a little kinder to the back. The weight is the first thing you'll notice when you pick up this Les Paul. We've got a typical two-volume, two-tone and three-way switch control setup to play with, and under the hood there is a 50s-style wiring loom with CTS pots. Now, the big question is whether these Epiphone ProBuckers can replicate the musical churn of the original PAF humbuckers – we want creamy warmth, detail in the mids, and the sharp tang of treble to round it off. The return of the "open book" headstock has been another positive intervention on the Epiphone design floor, and our review model, resplendent in a Goldtop-esque Metallic Gold finish, is a real eye-catcher.
