The Epiphone Les Paul Ultra II is a hybrid electric guitar giving you the classic Les Paul look and sound, but also the option of having is function as an acoustic-electric guitar as well. Or you can combine the two for some very unique tones.
The
goal of the Ultra-II was to create a more versatile guitar that was
capable of not only real Les Paul tone, but also acoustic-like
qualities but without adding a lot of controls and changing the overall
appearance of the legendary Les Paul. Unlike other instruments that
attempt to create a completely new guitar design, Epiphone went about
this differently by starting with a proven electric guitar design and
adding to it.
At
the heart of the Ultra-II is the NanoMag pickup. Referring to it's
small size and it's composition, the NanoMag is a completely new kind
of magnetic pickup that combines 3 Samarium-Cobalt magnets with
on-board, active electronics to produce a low-impedance pickup with
absolute linear response and an uncharacteristically wide frequency
range. Voiced specifically for the Ultra-II, the NanoMag is embedded in
the fingerboard after the 22nd fret. Positioned at this harmonic-rich
"sweet spot", the NanoMag is able to capture all the harmonics - from
the lowest to the highest - with incredible accuracy. All with ZERO
noise or artificial coloration. This again is different from all other
acoustic pickup
technology.
