Epiphone Studio LP Deluxe model!

 This is the Epiphone Studio LP Deluxe electric guitar. It's an original Les Paul copy and it's close to the original Gibby brothers despite its low price (250Euros).

Here are its original specs:
Epiphone Les Paul Deluxe WR,
Mahogany Body, set in Mahogany Neck,
Rosewood Fretboard, block inlays,
2 Humbuckers, chrome Hardware,
2x volume, 2x tone Pots
Color: Wine red

 This particular studio model has the classic Kluson style "tulip" tuners, block inlays and covered humbuckers. These are the main differences between a Studio LP model and the Deluxe one.
 The guitar was purchased from thomann.com and it needed a few adjustments right from the beginning. I had to replace the strings with a fresh set, lubricate the nut and fretboard, lower the string action, give the neck a bit less relief and set the intonation right. Then, I checked the electronics and I had tighten up the pot washers and resolder a few ground wires just to be sure.
 The guitar is now ready to play and it's a decent musical instrument. It's got quality wooden parts and hardware. The only weak spots are the electronics and pickups of the guitar but there are quite a few replacement parts out there. I would definitely invest on a new set of humbuckers made by Wilkinson, Artec and so on.

Here's the actual guitar:
