A good and simple guitar

Despite the looks, you can play almost anything with this guitar. The only con for me is the pickups, you can do a lot of good things with the stock pickups, but I recommend changing it to fit your style.

Trent has been known to use numerous Epiphone Les Pauls on Tour, perhaps as a cheaper and cost effective alternative to Gibson as the band are rumored to have smashed up to $160,000 worth of Gibson Les Pauls in the 90s during the Downward Spiral Tour - http://www.metalsucks.net/2017/05/12/nine-inch-nails-destroyed-more-than-160000-worth-of-gibson-les-pauls-on-the-downward-spiral-tour/
