  A Guitar string begins to tremble back and forth when it is plucked, sending waves of vibrations down the instrument’s length. The air inside the body of the Guitar is moved by the vibrations as they travel down the strings to the soundboard. Air rushes out of the sound hole and strikes the rigid hardwood back and sides, producing a musical note. The first Guitars, which are thought to have been made around 500 years ago in Spain, were quiet.

  If you’ve spent much time on our site here at KGR (of course you have…right?!?) you most likely will have come across a few of our reviews on various Epiphone Les Paul models (such as the  Studio  and the  Custom Pro ), and you’ll know that we think they are mighty fine guitars in their own right. While we really do believe that to be true, there’s no faking the fact that Epiphone Les Paul guitars are simply lower-cost versions of their much higher priced Gibson counterparts. But were you aware that – with a few fairly easy Les Paul mods that you can do on your own – you can get that Epi to sound and play just about as well as a true Gibson (even more than they already do right off the rack)? We may be stating the obvious here, but to get the price down to that ‘sweet spot’, Epiphone did have to make some compromises on part and component choices Bridge & Tailpiece Upgrading your bridge and tailpiece will further make your Les Paul perform and play better, but...
