Epiphone Les Paul Ultra-II

Epiphone Les Paul Ultra-II
My new dream guitar. In this finish. My goodness this thing is beautiful, and packed with features to boot.

  • Chambered Mahongany Body
  • Quilted maple top in Midnight Ebony (pictured) or Faded Cherry Burst
  • Alico Pickups
  • NanoMag Pickup
  • Gold hardware
  • Full neck and body binding

It also feature two outputs, a blended output for both the standard pickups and the Nanomag, plus the ability to send the signals independently of each other. I didn't know much about the nanoMag pickup so I did some research. The Shadow Electronics website says the following.

The NanoMAG is a magnetic pickup with an air coil and a composition of different samarium cobalt magnets incorporating active electronics in a minimum of space. The pickup is protected by an epoxy layer, and the silver-platinum shielding will provide together with the active electronics a low impedance hum free output signal.

Basically, it a real small pickup (if fits in where the "23rd" fret would be, so that give you an indication of the size) and produces realistic acoustic tones from the guitar. The authenticity of these sound I feel would be enhanced by the guitars chambered body.

I want one of these so bad it hurts. There's a video on the mini site for the guitar that you should all have a look at.

    I just one and love it…I’m trying to find out if the classic & classic + pickups are the same as the Gibson 57 classic/classic +, or a knock-off ???? Sounds good, but I might trade up to the Gibson’s if the ones I have are different

    As far as i know the pickups are a re-issue of sorts. They are custom wound for this model, but are based of the ’57. or so I’ve been told.

    You could make my day and say you hit ebay through one of my links. That would be sweet. :-)

    Oh BTW – tell me how that nanomag works out, and how much difference it actually makes. Would love to hear.
