The Gibson Les Paul Electric Guitar Blog

The goal of the Ultra-II was to create a more versatile guitar that was capable of not only real Les Paul tone, but also acoustic-like qualities but without adding a lot of controls and changing the overall appearance of the legendary Les Paul. Unlike other instruments that attempt to create a completely new guitar design, Epiphone went about this differently by starting with a proven, electric guitar design and adding to it.

At the heart of the Ultra-II is the NanoMag pickup. Referring to its small size and its composition, the NanoMag is a completely new kind of magnetic pickup that combines 3 Samarium-Cobalt magnets with on-board, active electronics to produce a low-impedance pickup with absolute linear response and an uncharacteristically wide frequency range. Voiced specifically for the Ultra-II, the NanoMag is embedded in the fingerboard after the 22nd fret. Positioned at this harmonic-rich “sweet spot, the Nanomag is able to capture all the harmonics - from the lowest to the highest - with incredible accuracy. All with ZERO noise or artificial coloration. This again is different from all other acoustic pickup technology.

Heres the man himself with an original 59 Les Paul Jr. This guitar just rocks like nothing else. Once again the Matchless really brings out the tone of this instrument, but take nothing away from the player. Dave sounds wonderful in this clip.

For those of you who asked for sound samples… My playing of course leaves room for improvement therefore the video does NOT do this guitar any justice what so ever. Get what you can out of it and go buy this guitar. I guarantee you will not regret no matter what your playing style is.

This time George Youngblood talks a bit about the headstock repair.
Multiple headtock breaks over the years. The headstock looked like Swiss cheese as George Youngblood said.

The headstock was once held together with an apparent butter knife! See picture here:

Improv with the Line 6 M9 looper. Just searching for hooks, so my rhythm is off. This is how many song ideas begin. While Les Pauls are known for rock, here’s proof they can sound great clean as well.
