We have a 2010 Epiphone Les Paul Studio here, and its ready for anything. This was repaired professionally at our shop with ten gauge strings, with nice low action. A JB and 59 was put in with 2 push/pull knobs to split the coils. Its a great guitar and weighs only 8.10 lbs. Does not come with a case. It has been played a lot and has a good amount of playing wear, which are included in the photos, but the frets still have plenty of life left. The back of the neck has been scuffed so that it plays smoothly. It is missing the back control plate. Comes with original pots and pickups. For the person wanting an instantly upgraded Ebony Les Paul, this is the one that has the upgrades that people want done!
