Epiphone “Twists” a Les Paul Standard for Sister

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE…Nashville, Tennessee., December 20, 2004… Epiphone has created a unique “Twisted Pinkburst” finish that instantly distinguishes its new Twisted Sister signature guitar. Based on a Les Paul Standard from Epiphone’s prestigious Elitist series, the Twisted Sister model sports the glam rock band’s Bone logo on the headstock and guitarist Jay Jay French’s name on the truss rod cover.

“There’s no mistaking Twisted Sister, and there’s no mistaking this guitar,” said Jim “Epi” Rosenberg, president of Epiphone. “Pick up a Twisted Sister Elitist Les Paul and you will be noticed!”

The Epiphone Twisted Sister Elitist Les Paul Standard will debut at Winter NAMM 2005 in Anaheim.
