Epiphone Les Paul Standard — 1994 Korea-made (stated) at a low asking price

Stated as a 1994 Epiphone Les Paul Standard made in Korea, offered at £414.70 — below historical like-for-like benchmarks for similar Korea-made Epiphones.

Why we selected it today

Great Price — the £414.70 asking price is below the historical like-for-like benchmark (benchmark asking price £523.27) and below the historical median asking price of £465.69. The current like-for-like pool is thin, so the benchmark here is a historical like-for-like asking-price measure. These are observed asking prices, not confirmed sale prices. The pricing evidence helped too: AG currently rates the asking price as Great Price against its like-for-like comparison set.

The model’s pedigree

The Epiphone Les Paul Standard carries the Les Paul single‑cut shape, set neck and twin‑humbucker layout in a more accessible package; factory, year and specification influence how closely examples resemble higher-end Les Pauls.

How the asking price compares

That earns AG’s Great Price rating: on the evidence available, it is notably keener than the centre of the current asking-price market. These are observed eBay asking prices, not confirmed sold prices.

What a buyer should check

Inspect the neck joint, frets, nut and electronics. Confirm that it is an Epiphone instrument rather than a copy using Epiphone-style wording.
