The Les Paul Melody Maker was awarded the Guitar Player Magazine Editor's Pick and is based on the iconic Gibson™ Les Paul™! The body is made with solid alder for the body and a comfortable hard maple neck. The granadillo fingerboard has classic pearloid dot inlays and standard medium jumbo frets. Tuning is fast and accurate with Epiphone machine heads with a 14:1 tuning ratio along with Epiphone’s adjustable, intonated wrap-around Stop Bar Combo bridge. The Les Paul Melody Maker is powered by Epiphone's open coil 650SCR single-coil pickup in the neck position and a 700SCR single-coil pickup in the rhythm or bridge position
