"I Love This Guitar(Ultra 2)."

Feature:
The guitar come's with a owner's manual,inspection card, sound cable, quick referance card for sound controls, and a warranty card.

Quality:
I read alot of reviews before I bought my Ultra 2 and thought that I might have a problem with quality control issues(loose parts,burrs on the frets,finish,ect..)the Ultra 2 that I received has absoultly none of these issues,it looks good,plays good,feels good and sounds great.

Value:
The Ultra 2 is a exceptional value,if you can afford to spend thousands of dollars on a Gibson Les Paul go ahead, if not, get the Ultra 2-it is a solid guitar at a great price(you definitly won't regret it)

Desirability:
Part of the reason I bought the Ultra 2 is because of the quilt top,to me it has one of the most appealing finishes there is.The other reason is for the acoustic sounds.Put the two together and what do you have-"The Ultra 2".

Sound:
The acoustic sound for me is very satisfying,for songs like Over The Hills and Far Away(Zeppelin).The acoustic sound is captured very well by this guitar.It also handles the dirty sound very nicely,(different than my Gibson Les Paul Stuido-also very nice)each guitar has its own unique sound quality, the Ultra 2 sounds very nice and does exactly what it's supposed to,it give,s the player versitility.

Ease of Use:
The controls are not comlpicated at all,the controls on the back of the Ultra 2 are clearly marked(Bass,Treble,Gain),the controls on the front give you control over the neck pick-up,bridge pick-up,nano-mag pick-up,and master voulume.As far as the controls on the back(Nano-Mag only)I usually just set'em and forget'em.

Support:
Up to now I haven't had to contact Epiphone for any reason.There is a warranty card and information on how to contact Epiphone included with the guitar.

Overall:
1-I will keep this guitar forever,2-Nice addition to my collection,3-In comparing this guitar to others around this price range it is a solid guitar made by a company(Epiphone)I trust.4-The acoustic sound is real nice.5-If this guitar was lost(knock on wood)I would definitly replace it.6-I wish I knew about zZounds easy pay plan sooner I would have gotten the Ultra 2 a long time ago.7-What I like the most about the Ultra 2 is the price to quality ratio.

"They should call this one Hanna Montanna, Its the best of both worlds!"

Feature:
got it with hard case, manual, and cord. ease of use and a lot lighter than a standard LP

Quality:
i have looked hard and can not find any flaws anywhere, perfect sound right out of the box, no adjustments needed

Value:
i assure you when more people play and hear this the price will go up, very good value

Desirability:
this LP is beautiful, and the way the nano controlls are on the backside and the pickup is hidden in the fretboard it looks like a classic LP, but once you hear it you know its much more.

Sound:
the sound of this LP is awesome! its the best of both worlds, i must have read about a 1000 reviews before i bought it, to all thoses guys who said they could not get the sound they were looking for, well, i guess your not doing something right, I am playing the nano pickup through a genz benz stereo 60 acustic amp and the ultra II has better sound than my tak. the humms. are runing into a carvin sx200 and sounds like a classis LP, as i said, best sounding guitar ive ever played, you will not regret buying this LP.

Ease of Use:
by just turning a knob, you can go from smooth and clean to rock,

Support:
have not had to use.

Overall:
i plan to have this LP for a long, long time

Description

From Our Catalog
The Epiphone Les Paul Ultra II is all the Les Paul you expect, with enough extras to make it a new must-have instrument for any serious player. Epiphone has a habit of starting revolutions. In 2005 , when most people said it couldn't be done, the world's favorite luthier said that yes, it could, and invented the first Les Paul to feature a chambered body, giving even more guitarists the change to enjoy killer Les Paul tone and sustain. That model was the Les Paul Ultra.

Now Epiphone is doing it all over again, as the original Les Paul Ultra is joined by the new Ultra II. You might not be surprised by the name, but when you check out this groundbreaking hybrid model, you would believe what Epiphone has done.

Some things haven't change. Like the original Ultra, the Ultra II features a chambered mahogany body topped with a quilted maple cap, meaning that it weighs far less then a Les Paul Standard wile offering the same timeless tone and endless sustain - but that's not the reason why the new Ultra II is set to steal the show.

The real revolution comes from the Ultra II's pairing of twin Alnico Classic humbuckers (which supply the beefy electric tone that has always been the Les Paul's calling card) and a fingerboard-mounted NanoMag pickup (with dedicated tone controls and output jack) that lets guitarists unlock shimmering acoustic tones on the stage and in the studio. Whether you're playing clean fingerpicked passages or digging in with the pick, this revolutionary hybrid model as it covered.
