Trying to find out the difference between an Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus guitar and the Plain top one is actually quite a popular hobby among guitarist. Actually, both the guitars are more or less the same apart from the top. The plain top ones are quite cost effective and reasonable whereas the other type is not. So, if you are on a tight budget, it is always advised to buy the plain top one instead of spending additional cash for the appearance of the other one.
The Myth of the Humbuckers:
The humbuckers found in the Epiphone Les Paul Standard guitars are claimed to be the exact copies of those found in Gibson 498T guitars. Well, it is actually quite true that they do produce the same tones. They are not 100% identical to the Gibson humbuckers but they are good copies of it.
The Epiphone Les Paul Standard is popular for its incredible sound. Besides, it is also a favorite among guitar lovers because it offers quite a lot of modifications. A belt that can hold up the guitar while you are standing and playing it is a small example of the modifications you can make to it. There is quite a lot of room for modifications and you get the parts cheap as well. So, there is no way any guitarist would resist making modifications to this one.
