This one has that classic look that just pulls you in immediately—the kind of flame top that makes you stop scrolling. The Heritage Cherry Sunburst on this 2009 Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus Top absolutely glows, with a flame pattern that runs deep and wide across the body. It’s one of those tops that feels way above its price range.
This is a player’s guitar in the best sense of the word. It’s been played, enjoyed, and set up to perform. There are some dings, chips, and surface scratches around the body, but nothing that takes away from how it presents—honestly, it just gives it a bit of character. From a few feet away, it still looks fantastic, and up close you can tell it’s been part of someone’s rotation.
The neck pickup cover has been removed, and it actually works really well here—it gives the neck position a bit more bite and clarity, balancing nicely with the bridge. The stock pickups still deliver that familiar Les Paul warmth and punch, but with a slightly more open feel in the neck.
Playability is where this one really shines. It’s been fully set up with a straight neck, low comfortable action, polished frets, and fresh strings. Intonation is dialed in, and it just feels easy to play—whether you’re sitting down for a long session or plugging in and letting it rip.
Flip it over and the back has some really nice wood grain that adds to the overall vibe. It’s not something you always see on these, but this one definitely has it.
Weight: 9.2 pounds on my scale.

Like all my guitars, this one’s been cared for and dialed in—no guesswork, no surprises, just a great instrument that’s ready to play. I personally inspect and test every guitar before it ships, making sure it’s in the exact condition I’d want to receive myself. These guitars come from me, not a shop—each one gets the kind of attention and care only a real guitar lover gives. Ships fast and insured.
⏳ Quick note
These guitars don’t usually sit. Most are purchased within 1–5 days, and I regularly hear from watchers after the listing has already sold. If this one’s on your radar, now’s the window!
