"the Les Paul Value"

Quality:
a beautifull guitar, translucent amber

Desirability:
I wanted it, I bought it and I dont regret it

Sound:
It will sound as good as the amp that you have it plugged into.

Overall:
I dont think that I will replace this guitar, however I will buy other guitars as additions to a collection. Overall I feel that it is what it was represented to be I like this guitar

"Yes it´s a copy but so what , it´s great ."

Feature:
This guitar is built down to a price and it´s in the " bits" that this shows most clearly , the bridge really needs to be better and the control knobs are cheap , horrid and mounted askew - much prefer hatbox controls anyway . Tuners , on the other hand , are more than good enough for most people : if you change them you may not notice much benefit .

Quality:
This guitar may not have the quality of tone woods that gibson would use but it is very nicely made from the woodwork side of things but it´s let down by the poor originel set up - mine needs some serious fret dressing to sort out an irritating buzz ( A string 3rd fret only )and I while I don´t expect mother of pearl for the insets at this price they are a bit ... matt - feel ok though .

Value:
at list price no but at typical discount retail it´s a steal, would not touch the bolt neck LP´s with a barge pole though , they are dire .

Desirability:
a nice cheap copy of a classic that´s perfect for anybody that doesn´t want to splash out the dosh on the real thing but remember you will need to change the bridge and pickups eventually .

Sound:
sounds like a les paul ,more or less , but the pickups are the weak link , badly screened and noisy when you up the gain . Any aftermarket PAF will be an improvement when you have the time and the money : good wood though .

Ease of Use:
It´s a les paul , even if a copy , and they are never hard to play when well set up .

Support:
have no idea : have not contacted them yet .

Overall:
I will buy other guitars but I can´t see a reason for getting rid of this one except for a real ( royal in castellano ) Les Paul and that´s more of an investment than I want to make at the moment .

If you can handle everything about the Les Paul except the price, check this out. Engineers designed this modern classic with the arched top and fast neck of the best Les Pauls. It has an arched, figured curly Maple, carved top in faded sunburst finishes for that great LP look. And like all Les Pauls, features a solid glued neck joint for great sustain and stability. These guitars are built to 100% Gibson specifications. Since 1910 Epiphone has been building quality instruments and this Les Paul Standard will only enhance their great reputation. These transparent finishes are exceptionally beautiful!

The Les Paul guitar is synonymous with Rock and Roll. No other guitar gives you the power, the sustain and the sound of a Les Paul. If it's got Les Paul's signature on the headstock, it's the real thing... Accept no substitutes! Authorized by Gibson USA!
