Epiphone will be introducing a long-scale baritone guitar that adds beefy, bottom-end tones to the legendary Les Paul model. The new Les Paul Standard Baritone features a 27.75-inch scale length, which is 3 inches longer than a standard Les Paul, and it also debuts a simplified control system and a unique choice of finish colors and graphics.

"The Epi Les Paul Baritone breaks several Les Paul traditions - but in good ways," said Jim "Epi" Rosenberg, president of Epiphone. "Guitarists get a new sound, a new control system and a new look without giving up any of the top-shelf quality that goes with the Epiphone and Les Paul names."

The Epiphone Les Paul Baritone is built on the classic, trademarked solidbody design of Gibson Les Paul. The new model is equipped with single volume and single tone controls for its pair of open-coil Alnico V pickups, with a hot pickup installed in the bridge position. Finishes range from bold Iron Cross and Red Oval graphics to understated Worn Brown, Alpine White and Plain Black. Black hardware and a plain fingerboard set off the finish colors.

MSRP: $831
