Critic Reviews

Tommy Thayer's new signature Epiphone Les Paul Outfit is a bolt from the blue | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

Tommy Thayer's Electric Blue Les Paul is a striking homage to flashy rock aesthetics, boasting a stunning custom finish and powerful Seymour Duncan JB humbuckers. While it excels in looks and sound, with a comfortable '60s Slim Taper neck and solid construction, some may find its price point slightly high for an Epiphone. The model offers a great blend of playability and visual flair, but potential buyers might want to weigh the investment against personal budget considerations. Overall, it's a solid choice for fans seeking a signature model that stands out on stage.
