It's not quite as heavy as a Gibson Les Paul, but the Standard's body definitely weighs down to the right side, which makes the headstock and fretboard want to sit up higher. The cream-colored binder on the body's perimeter does a nice job of bringing the look of the body together. The Standard has a Maple veneer covering the top of the body, which also covers up the three Mahogany joints. Most of the Epiphone guitars (almost all of the Les Pauls) are made with a Mahogany body, which is a fairly common and reliable tonewood. Heavy distortion and modern (high) gain levels.Searing lead tones with vintage overdrive levels.Clean tones with a touch of bite on the upper register.Bluesy cleans with a little bit of amp breakup.For the price, they'll get you a decent tone out of the box. While there are still plenty of good options for swapping the ProBuckers with something from a third-party brand, the Epiphone ProBuckers are clearly a step above the typical "stock" pickup with a hard cover. Even while taking some obvious manufacturing shortcuts, Epiphone managed to get a lot of Gibson's vibe into these pickups. Even without a ton of gain, the pickups have a sweetness and ring to them that's characteristic of the Les Paul body design.
They're medium output, with a bell-like tone that produces a decent amount of sustain. The ProBuckers certainly aren't overly aggressive or loud. style pickup with four-conductor wiring, and seem to have a similar response in other tests we've done. Regarding tone, the Epiphone ProBuckers are most likely designed to mimic the '57 Classic.
