Epiphone Les Paul Standard PlusTop Pro — Trance Blue, Used (2013)

Epiphone Les Paul Standard, stated year 2013 and listed at £280.59. Detected identity confidence: medium.

Why we selected it today

Chosen because the asking price represents a clear Great Price against current like‑for‑like asking prices. The current like‑for‑like median is £535.21 and the benchmark we reference is £477.73; at £280.59 this example is around 41% below the current median and well below the benchmark. These are observed eBay 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 provides the single‑cut Les Paul shape, set neck and twin‑humbucker layout at a more accessible price; factory, year and specification determine how close any example feels to higher‑end versions.

How the asking price compares

At £280.59, this sits against a current median asking price of £535.21 across 9 other closely matched listings. Allowing for the like-for-like asking-price history we have collected, the AG benchmark is £477.73. The featured guitar is about 41.3% below that level. 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 it is an Epiphone instrument (check logos and serial) rather than a copy using Epiphone‑style wording.
