"Holy *%@$ it's incredible!!"

Sound: this axe sounds so sweet, it has that 'les paul sound'. Fat lows but the highs are slightly brighter than a gibson. I would suggest putting seymour duncans in it as i am going to do in order to get rid of the feedback and unwanted noise that you get at high gain. Works wel through my marshall amp. I play mostly classic rock and some punk as well. I find it plays The Darkness exceptionally well, and of course led zeppelin. But I also experimented with some heavy metal and boy does she deliver!! Again the only problem was the feedback but it really isn't all that bad, you only REALLY notice it at High gain, otherwise its not a big problem. If I want to play 'I believe in a thing called love' by The Darkness and I do the massive string bend on fret 22, it sounds a bit weak. But then again it's not a gibson and the price states that well. verall its a mega superdooper cool sounding guitar. Feature: kinda hard to rate. 2 tone & 2 volume knobs, Mine came with chrome grover tuners allready on it. The bridge volume knob makes a crackling sound through the amp when i turn it past 1-2, but I don't care coz I never use it anyway. I'm not sure what wood its made of but I think its mahogany with flamed maple top and rosewood fingerboard. Front strap button has a tendency to work itself loose but its easy to tighten. I heard that the toggle switch craps out on a lot of these guitars but I don't know what's going on there, mine is still working perfectly after months of use. Maybe epiphone have got their act together and improved their guitars or something? and the finish is impeccable, the best i've seen. (Cherry Sunburst,the best!) Ease of Use: Soloing is surprisingly easy on this axe but when I first got it I fond it difficult playing the high fret coz I was used to double cutaways ie Ibanez. Other than that its a breeze to play almost anything (except Joe Satriani or Steve Vai because it doesn't have a tremolo bar) Its solid and heavy, but not so heavy that it's hard to play, just that if you play for ages you start getting a bit of a sore shoulder after a while, but that solidity adds to the sustain. Quality: This axe will stay for many years to come if you take care of it (GET A HARDSHELL CASE). Finish is superb, It still brings tears to my eyes. It is reliable and hasnt ever let me down. Value: Hell yeah! I's way better to get this and change the pickups than buy a gibson for a ridiculously high price. And even with stock pickups wich are good, it's worth every penny. Manufacturer Support: will never need to. The Wow Factor: I got this axe because I'm a Classic rocker at heart and there was a gaping hole in my soul that told me I had to get this at any price. Plus I like the look and sound. This is the hottest ting i have ever seen. Period. Overall: I will only ever get another guitar (which will be a les paul) if this one is wrecked beyond repair or just stops working, which will not happen for a LONG time yet.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "As Close to the Real Thing As You Can Get!"

Sound: To start with, EVERYTHING has to be PERFECT to get a 10 out of me so I'm not being hard, just very picky! Let's begin....I own a Gibson SG and it sounds a lot like that. Definately a harder rock sound & let me tell you....for the money- not bad! I've read where everyone jumps on the pickup replacement bandwagon & that's fine. That's what I plan on doing myself but with all the different effects out there, it is not neccessary. It's got great sustain but being really overdriven does get mushy. If you start doing the beginning lick of Sweet Child O Mine, most people watching won't even be comparing the exact nuances of sound anyways. So overall, I'd say change the strings, tighten the screws and call it good for now! Feature: My purchase was a "refurb" model. I got the Cherry sunburst so it did not come with any case(which I did not want anyways-explain later). Came with manual, allen wrench, warranty card and misc. stuff. Pretty exact match to a Les Paul as to features. Pretty much standard.... Ease of Use: This is my first LP. I bought this primarily to get use to it so later on after I save(& save & save & save & save), I get the real thing. I wanted something to practice with which was as close to the real thing as possible. Besides, If I ever needed a backup or just a "thrasher axe", this would fill in nicely. I also never played anything with a narrow neck so this is a good practice one too. Barre chords are easy but not really made for a beginner since the strings are close together and there would be a lot of doubling when trying to play. Volume and tone are as basic as you get..... Quality: Being a "refurb", I expected issues. I was not disappointed-there was some. First impression, the thing is beautiful-great colors and looks like it cost a whole lot more. Seeing Les Paul on the headstock, makes you believe you have the real thing(and hopefully others will feel that way too!) As mentioned earlier, it sounds great & especially for spending only 3 bills on it, I can't complain(too much). My biggest concern is the buzz when I strum the low E hard. The action is quite low so that might have something to do with it. There were a couple of the plastic pieces that were loose so those needed to be tighten up. I had the chance to compare it to the real thing and notice the same "buzz" in the high dollar one. Overall, especially for what I was expecting, it gets a 9- it this was a new one, it probably be a 7. Once again, quite pleased! Value: My only 10 rating.....why? I compared this to a $3200 Les Paul side by side. I did notice some differences and sure the different woods, being built in America, better hardware make up a lot of this. But $2500 worth is a hard pill to swallow. I could buy 3 of these, replace the pickups with humbucker pros, have it gone thru by an expert ans still save money. So if your on a budget, no better bargain out there! Manufacturer Support: Don't know but for what I've seen and heard- great! The Wow Factor: Almost a 10 but this axe is not for everyone. I also like playing Beach Boys and surfer type music so I stay with my Strat for that. Country music may stray away occasionally from this also. So, if Metal is your method- GO FOR IT! Overall: I figure this will last around 5-7 years with normal wear. I'll probably by then have, at least, a used Gibson LP. So as long as it looks good, sounds good, and stays in tune, I'm happy.

Style of Music: Rock
