"A Les Paul for Les Money."

Feature:
Standard Les Paul setup. Nothing out of the ordinary except for the BEAUTIFUL black and gold hardware.

Quality:
Everything on this guitar is top notch. I own another Epiphone acoustic, and it's been awesome for over 10 years.

Value:
The price point for this item is perfect for anyone serious about buying a quality guitar.

Desirability:
Truthfully when I bought it, I didn't need another guitar and wasn't looking to buy one, but once I played it and A/B'd it against similar guitars, it was a no-brainer. This guitar pulled some amazing tones even at low volume through a small tube practice amp.

Sound:
Wow. This guitar has the same tone as a full Les Paul--just a few hundred less. I use it in a small home studio for projects ranging from rock, blues, and jazz. I've played it through amp sims and a tube amp. Metal and country are not really it's forte though, but that's why I have a collection of guitars.

Ease of Use:
Plays just like a Les Paul too. My only issue is reaching the high frets, but you'll get that on any Les Paul.

Support:
I hope I should never have to contact support.

Overall:
This guitar is now called my "trump guitar"--it trumps the other 3 electrics I have in my collection.

"Awesomes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Feature:
This is a beautiful instrument. 3 Hums, 4 knobs, Grover tuners, and a stunning finish with gold hardware. Plus it sounds great. What more could you want?

Quality:
Even though I bought mine used and it's a factory defect (2nd stamped) it's still a good quality instrument. If you take care of it(and don't let it fall over like I did) everything should last the life of the guitar. I'd say that these are "road-worthy" guitars. I've seen similar ones used by various artists at shows, and they seem to be able to hold up.

Value:
Awesome, again. This guitar is easily worth more than what it's priced at. It plays just like a Gibson and is of equal quality. Definitly worth the money you'll pay for it.

Desirability:
Seeexxxy. It has looks that kill and a sound that will blow you away. It varys so much in tone because of the addition of a third pick up and the finish just makes you want it and want it the more you look at it. I went looking for a job at my local guitar shop and walked out an hour later with this guitar. It will call to you. Listen to it.

Sound:
I love the sound of this guitar! I played it through several different amps and pedals and it sounded awsome every time. It sounds like a more expensive guitar.

Ease of Use:
Again, awesome. It has nice action and a smooth easy kind of feel. Beginners might get a little thrown off by the knob and pu selector setup, but once you get past that there's not that much too it. It feels just as nice as my expensive Gibson.

Support:
I haven't had to deal with customer service.

Overall:
This is an AWESOME buy. With the quality, sound, and look you get for the price this is, there's no reason why you shouldn't buy this. Definitly worth the expense(even if you're like me and don't need another guitar). You'd have to be crazy not to like it.
