Epiphone Les Paul Ultra-III Faded Cherry S/B Elektro Gitar


The Epiphone Les Paul Ultra-III Faded Cherry - Where Tradition Meets Technology: We all know that deep down, most guitarists love classic designs and shapes. Thats why we designed the new Epiphone Les Paul Ultra-III with the same look and features of a traditional Les Paul but added new technology giving you a guitar thats still a real Les Paul but also so much more!

Two Great Pickup Systems in One Guitar: At the heart of the new Epiphone Les Paul Ultra-III are two pickup systems. Powering the first are Epiphones new ProBucker™ humbucking pickups patterned after Gibsons famous BurstBuckers™. With authentic 18% nickel silver base and cover, Elektrisola wire, accurate bobbins, slugs and screws, and sand casted Alnico-II magnets, the Epiphone Les PaulUltra-III pickups replicate that classic "Patent Applied For" airy tone that defined rock and roll. The second system features Shadow™ Germanys patented NanoMag™ pickup embedded discretely at the end of the fingerboard. Featuring three samarium cobalt magnets, an air coil, and active electronics, this low-impedance pickup captures all the subtle body acoustics and string harmonics. Together, you get powerful humbucker-driven rock crunch as well as shimmering acoustic-like tones and everything in-between.

One-Of-A-Kind Electrics Built-in: If you thought the Ultra-II was jam-packed with modern features, you wont believe what Epiphone has designed into the Epiphone Les Paul Ultra-III . Built discretely into the bridge pickup mounting ring is a full-function, chromatic tuner. Push its ON/OFF button and sound is immediately muted when the tuner is activated. Eleven color-coded LEDs identify the note as well as whether its sharp, flat or in-tune. Also, to allow quick and seamless changes between each pickup system, the Epiphone Les Paul Ultra-IIIs NanoMag Volume knob now doubles as an A/B switch. Just push it in and quickly toggle between Magnetic, NanoMag or both pickup systems with no delay and no "pop." Two additional LEDs on the pickup mounting ring provide a visual indicator of which pickup system is active (Red="NanoMag;" Blue-Magnetic or Red/Blue="Both)."

Hook-Up Directly To Your Computer: The Epiphone Les Paul Ultra-III features three different outputs. By using the standard 1/4" MONO output, both the humbuckers and NanoMag are mixed into one signal. When you plug another 1/4" cable into the Epiphone Les Paul Ultra IIIs STEREO output, the humbuckers are routed through one cable and the NanaMag the other. In this way, you can send the humbuckers to your favorite guitar amp and the NanoMag to the PA or an acoustic guitar amp. Using the A/B switch, you can now change "on-the-fly" between the two outputs. The third output is USB. Using a USB cable (included), you can plug directly into your computer and use guitar applications such as Native Instruments GuitarRig™ 4LE (software included, downloadable from Epiphone.com) to play your guitar through a variety of simulated amplifiers and effects while listening through your computer speakers or headphones. GuitarRig also features a recorder, a metronome, a tuner and more.

Great Tone Woods and Hardware: While the Epiphone Les Paul Ultra-III is packed with technology, it still maintains the same basic specifications that made Epiphone Les Pauls the choice of so many guitarists including a solid mahogany body with glued-in mahogany neck and comfortable SlimTaper™ neck profile, a flame Maple veneer top and Rosewood fingerboard. The result is a modern guitar with that classic Les Paul tone and sustain. Like most Epiphones, its also equipped with Epis patent-applied-for LockTone ™ Tune-o-matic bridge and LockTone™ Stopbar tailpiece for increased sustain and string changing ease as well as quality Grover™ 16:1 machine heads for tuning accuracy and stability.

Limited Lifetime Warranty: Like every Epiphone, it features our Limited Lifetime warranty backed by world famous 24/7/365 day Gibson Customer Service. If you want a versatile, professional instrument designed for live performance or studio and capable of both Les Paul crunch and real acoustic-like tones, the Epiphone Ultra-III is it!

Output Jack
Three outputs for unparalleled combinations of sounds. The Mono (All Pickups) jack enables the player to combine the ProBucker pickups and the NanoMag with one cable. When the Stereo output is used in combination with the Mono output, the Magnetic output (jack #1) carries the signal of the ProBucker pickups and the NanoMag/Mono output (jack #2) is for the NanoMag pickup, enabling a player to split the signal of the guitar two ways, perhaps using the ProBucker pickups through an amp and the NanoMag through a PA. The third output is for the supplied USB cable which connects the Ultra III to any USB compatable computer. Native Instruments GuitarRig (downloabable from Epiphone.com) allows you to play the Ultra III through your computer. (USB output requires the use of a 9 volt battery)
Other
Built-in chromatic tuner with 7 blue LED lights corresponding to A-G notes. There are 3 LED lights to indicate if the note is “in-tune”: A red “L” for low or flat, a red “H” (for high or shapr, and a green “T” to indicate the note is in-tune. When the tuner is activated, all output from the Ultra III is muted. The tuner also features an “A” and “B” indicator which works in conjunction with the A/B knob located on the guitar. When you push down the NanoMag Volume and A/B knob you can toggle between the two pickup systems.
The “A” and “B” indicator light tells you which combination of pickups you’re using. A (red)="NanoMag." A/B (red and blue)="NanoMag" and ProBuckers, B (blue)="ProBuckers.
