A Les Paul with a Modern Twist

The Epiphone Les Paul Ultra-III is the gearhead's dream guitar. You get traditional electronics and pickups, plus a slew of jaw-dropping extras. A Shadow Nanomag pickup gives you big, full acoustic tones, and a USB output lets you record directly to your favorite DAW. The Les Paul Ultra-III features a chambered mahogany body, flame maple top, a mahogany set-neck, a rosewood fretboard with trapezoid inlays, classy binding, and chrome hardware! Add ProBucker-2 and ProBucker-3 pickups, and you've got a killer tone machine that looks amazing and sounds great with the Les Paul Ultra-III!



Epiphone Les Paul Ultra-III Electric Solidbody Guitar at a Glance:
  • Great looks, great value
  • Quality construction
  • Vintage appeal
  • Modern flexibility

Great looks, great value
You'll do a double-take when you lay eyes on this guitar and check out its unbelievable price! The Les Paul Ultra-III looks just like a vintage LP, with classic features that give it the appearance of a guitar that would easily cost ten times as much!

Quality construction
The Epiphone Les Paul Ultra is no slouch in the construction department. All materials are top-notch, including the chambered mahogany body, mahogany neck, beautiful AAA flame maple top, and rosewood fingerboard. This is no bolt-on-neck wannabe - it's got a set neck, just like the LPs you've been drooling over!

Vintage appeal
From classic appointments such as trapezoid inlays, vintage-style binding, to classy chrome hardware and pickup covers, the Ultra-III has it all. And the addition of ProBucker-2 and ProBucker-3 pickups, individual volume and tone knobs, and a three-way selector means you'll generate some timeless tone from this axe!

Modern Flexibility
The Epiphone Les Paul Ultra-III features not one, but two pickup systems. The first system features a traditional humbucker setup featuring the ProBucker-2 and ProBucker-3 pickups, and the second system utilizes the Shadow NanoMag pickup. The Nanomag is discreetly mounted at the end of the fretboard, and houses samarium cobalt magnets and active electronics that lets it pickup the body resonance and string harmonics to produce acoustic guitar tones. There is a dedicated volume knob for the Nanomag that also is a push-push on/off switch. You can blend the acoustic and electric sounds together to create new sonic landscapes or have them remain separate and distinct. The Les Paul Ultra-III also features a built-in USB jack that allows you to plug directly in to your computer. A free copy of the popular Guitar Rig software accompanies each guitar. Quickly and easily dial in your perfect guitar tone, then record to with your favorite DAW. Another surprise in the Ultra-III is a built-in chromatic tuner mounted in the pickup ring. Turn it on and tune your guitar anytime.

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer knows all his products. I can call and ask him anything and he's on top of it. Some other places just want to sell you something, but I've found Sweetwater to be a helpful, professional company to work with.
