Epiphone Tribute Les Paul Standard: New Solid-Body Electric Guitar
Paying homage to Les Paul, Epiphone has announced its new Tribute Les Paul Standard guitar, which is said to embody Les Paul’s original vision of the ultimate solid-body electric guitar while offering several constructional and performance upgrades.
The Tribute Les Paul Standard features historically accurate details, such as the wide bend-friendly frets, a non-chambered solid mahogany back and carved maple top, and a one-piece mahogany neck with a long neck tenon. You can choose from two different neck profiles: a traditional "1960's" SlimTaper neck profile or an Asymmetrical neck profile.
The "1960's" SlimTaper is a comfortable "D" shaped neck that was used and made famous on many 1960's era, Kalamazoo-made guitars from Gibson and Epiphone. On the other hand, the newer Asymmetrical neck has multiple radii and combines a more rounded "D" shape on the bass side of the neck with a flatter "C" shape on the treble side, which results in a comfortable neck that is more ergonomically contoured to fit the hands of most players. Both profiles are available on the Tribute guitar in two different finishes -- Faded Cherry Sunburst or Translucent Black.
Furthermore, the new Tribute carries a pair of Gibson USA’s 57 Classic humbucking pickups. With "Patent Applied For" decals on their base plates, the '57 Classic in the neck position and '57 Classic Plus in the bridge are replicas of the classic Gibson PAF humbuckers. They are said to deliver a tone that is warm and subtle with full, even response. Both '57s feature Gibson's special Alnico II magnet, vintage enamel coated wire, nickel-plated pole pieces, nickel slugs, maple spacers and vintage-style, braided wiring. In addition to these old-school features, Epiphone use a 4-conductor pickup wiring to add two push / pull tone pots to allow for series / parallel pickup switching.
Other components include the Switchcraft 3-way toggle selector, Mallory-150 tone capacitors, Epiphone StrapLocks, 16:1 ratio premium Grover locking tuners, and the Epiphone Locktone Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece.
The Tribute Les Paul Standard comes protected in an Epiphone hardcase and includes Epiphone's Limited Lifetime Warranty. For more information, please visit www.epiphone.com.

Gibson Les Paul Studio you're comparing epplas and oranges. Those other two aren't even in the same class. All Gibsons have higher quality hardware and are made in the USA where quality control is a lot tighter than Asian epiphones. Also, Gibsons come with a hardshell case where epiphone do not. You can save money by picking up a faded Gibson LP studio with the only difference being a less glossy top. You are still getting a quality instrument. If you end up getting an epiphone, you'll get what you pay for including inferior hardware and pickups. The bridge and tuners really justify the price as a quality set will probably run you about $ 400. Don't know much about the Samick except that it has crappy budget Duncan DESIGNED Humbuckers.

I only know how to play 3 songs on Bass (Holiday bass solo by Green Day, Beat It by Michal Jackson, and the Dance, Dance bass solo by Fall Out Boy) but it is so much easier. For real, I could play the hardest Bass part with my eyes gouged out and one arm tied behind my back. I’ve considered getting a bass just because they would be fun to mess with. It will take about a week to learn as much on bass as it would take 2 months on a guitar. It is really easy, easier than anything else you could do in band (short of Drum Major
