“An affordable entry point for fans of the most iconic electric solidbody design of all time”: Behold the $299 Les Paul, as Epiphone unveils beginner-friendly Tribute and Express versions of three Gibson classic guitars

Epiphone Tribute and Express series: the Gibson-owned brand has refreshed its beginner-friendly series, offering Les Pauls, SGs and J-45s at a super-affordable price.

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.
