Epiphone has refreshed its entry-level lineup with the unveiling of beginner-friendly versions of iconic Gibson guitars, in some classic finish options, and some not-so traditional.
The new electric guitars comprise the Les Paul Tribute and the SG Tribute, while the J-45 Express shrinks Gibson’s iconic slope-shouldered dreadnought acoustic guitar down to 7/8ths of its size for an instrument that is A) kind to young hands and novice players, and B) portable enough to travel with. There are left-handed models available, too.
