We were surprised by the expressive, wide-ranging tones that the Classic Elite humbuckers produced, considering the modest price tag of this Ibanez guitar. Its 27.7 inch scale length and AS Doublecut body give you the freedom to form complex chord shapes, while playing intricate fingerstyle techniques. The Artcore AS73 is one of the most popular Ibanez guitars – and for good reason. This guitar isn’t the best choice for those who play softer styles with clean tones.All the hardware is based on the 1959 model and made from high quality materials.PAF-style BurstBucker pickups deliver a warm, powerful tone idea for rock and metal.Looks, feels and sounds like a Gibson-made Les Paul from the late ‘50s.Then there’s the period-correct Tune-o-Matic bridge, which ensures excellent tuning stability, making this one of the best rock or metal guitars for under $1000. The mahogany neck has a rounded medium C profile that promotes speed and accuracy. The inclusion of two PAF-style BurstBucker Humbucker pickups gives this guitar an authenticity that is often lacking with remakes of vintage models. This limited edition 1959 Les Paul Standard offers all of this – and more.

When I think of the Les Paul, the first things that come to mind is the powerful, rocky tone, the wailing high notes, and their almost indestructible construction. This Epiphone remake of the 1959 classic model proves that you can get the legendary Les Paul tone and feel at an affordable price! I’ve had the pleasure of playing several Gibson Les Paul guitars in the past, but most Gibson guitars are priced way over a thousand dollars.


The C-shaped maple neck is joined by an alder body and maple fretboard, resulting in the classic comfort of vintage-style Fender guitars. With a pair of Fender-designed Alnico V single coil pickups, this guitar sounds incredible through a tube amplifier with a little overdrive added to the signal. This Fender axe delivers the signature “Tele twang” that has graced so many great rock n’ roll songs over the years, along with a range of other great rhythm and lead guitar tones.
