Is the Epiphone Les Paul standard versatile?
Personal opinion… yes, the Standard can be used for anything from blues, jazz, and rock all the way up(or down) the list to Gospil and country. If you want a really good blues tone, take a page out of Clapton’s “trick book” and put the pick-up selector switch in the middle position. Roll the tone back on your bridge pick-up. This will give you a tone similar to Clapton’s “crying woman” sound heard on many of Cream’s recordings. While the Standard is a massive chunk of wood, the payoff is an incredible amount of sustain. Hope this helps.
