LyxPro 39" SB Series Electric Guitar Kit for Beginners vs Epiphone IGC 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue

Buy the LyxPro kit if you are starting out and need a guitar and amp together. Buy the Epiphone 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue if you already play and want a guitar that feels and sounds like a vintage Les Paul. The LyxPro is a full-size 39-inch mahogany solid body with two humbuckers and a 20W amp with headphone jack and overdrive, but its hardware and pickups are basic. The Epiphone adds a maple top with AAA flame veneer, a one-piece mahogany neck with long tenon, Gibson Custombucker pickups, CTS pots, Bumblebee capacitors, a Switchcraft switch and a brown hardshell case. Owners of the Epiphone praise the neck and pickups; the LyxPro is widely described as a solid first guitar that needs a setup.

• Choose the LyxPro 39" SB Series kit if you are a beginner who wants a playable full-size electric and a practice amp in one box.
• Choose the Epiphone IGC 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue if you want vintage Les Paul tone and feel, a SlimTaper neck and a hardshell case.
