Feature:
The guitar come with the 2 vols and 2 tones just like a Gibson.

Quality:
Excellent quality! The finish is perfect. I did change the strings, cleaned and lemon oiled the fretboard, adjusted the bridge and adjusted the intonation. I did find a couple of loose nuts. One on the bridge vol pot and the other on one of the tuning keys. I should be noted that any guitar I purchase, I set it up, check everything to ensure tightness and clean it. This guitar was very decent right out of the box for most players. This guitar is heavy. 10 pounds! Just like the old Les Pauls.

Value:
Is is one of the best values around. In the February 2007 issue of Guitar Player Magazine, they ran an Epiphone Les Paul against a Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul. Needlees to say the Epiphone stood its ground and was consideredan excellent value at 10 times less than the Gibson cost.

Desirability:
This guitar looks greats and is as good as any Gibson Les Paul.

Sound:
This guitar has a really good sound with the stock pickups. I did replace the stock pickups with a pair of Gibson 496R and a 500T ceramic picks. Now the sound is amazing.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to play. I did lower the bridge to my liking.

Support:
No support called or will be called. I upgraded the pickups which voids the warranty. I am a luthier so any work to be done I would do it myself.

Overall:
I am completely satisfied with this guitar. With that said, I'm sure I will buy additional guitars. I am a luthier and a collector. This is just one of many guitars that I own.

Feature:
good features i guess. the pickup toggle switch is really nice, the separate tone and volume controls are great and help you change the sound to your liking.

Quality:
Its a very sturdy guitar. some people complain about the weight of it. but i just think it makes it all that much durable. I ordered the Gator case with it. it's a pretty solid case. my only complaint is that the latches on the case feel a little flimsy, and even though they are lockable, is someone really was after your guitar they could just pop the latch off with a screw driver(only one is lockable, its the middle latch by the handle.)

Value:
great value for a les paul. especially if you order the case with it you save about $25-$30 if you buy them together. i would recommend it

Desirability:
Beautiful!. i got the heritage cherry and it looks way better than the picture on the site portrays it. really shiny and attracts alot more attention as compared to my black stratocaster.

Sound:
Incredible sound!, the pickups are great, it has alot better sustain then my strat. being an epiphone, it still delivers that thick, gritty, heavy metal sound you expect from a les paul

Ease of Use:
just tune it, plug it in and rock out!

Support:
never had to call them but i would imagine their not to stingy about customer service

Overall:
overall i would say this is a great buy for anyone interested in getting a Les Paul, but dont have the money for a real Gibson. its looks great, plays amazingly!, has a real down and dirty tone and is well built.

Feature:
It came with a 10 ft. cable that i mostly use for my tuner. Two pickups, treble and rhythm, pickup selector. Two volume two tone a pickgaurd, and standard les paul tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar.

Quality:
It is made very well, you can feel the quality when you play it. There were some minor flaws though, there was to small paint chips on the headstock straight out of the box, and when I play the open G and B strings I get a wierd vibration sound that sounds like there is a loose part somewhere. But luckily you can't hear it you play through the amp, so its not a big deal.

Value:
I think that this is a great value. It is a great guitar and very well made. And its a great price for a les paul.

Desirability:
It is a very sexy guitar, I had been looking at this les paul for about a year before i bought it, Which is a while for me. It looks amazing, i have the honey burst and it looks amazing. One time after I was playing I let it rest on my amp, and i looked like a picture in a magazine. Even though it is an Epiphone and not a Gibson it is still very high quality.

Sound:
It sounds great, I love the two pickups. They allow me to reach a wide variety of tones and sounds. The bridge pickup gives a hollow/thin sound that is great for using distortion, and i can get some great pich harmonics when i turn up the gain a little. The neck pickup is also good with a little less distortion, you can get a nice "Slash like" sound.

Ease of Use:
Its pretty easy to use, when I use clean I often put it on treble and dial the tone back a little. It is really easy to find the sound that you are looking for, the volume and tone knobs are pretty easy to figure out, and you memorize which is which in like a minute. It is very easy to play, the neck fits right into your hand and the action is nice right off the back. The only bad thing is that it takes some manuvering to reach the higher frets.

Support:
Haven't used it.

Overall:
This is a great guitar, I might upgrade to a better guitar, but not soon. This one will be with me hopefully forever. If it got lost or stolen I would probably cry, and then go buy a new one.

Feature:
I like the overall feel of the guitar, howver i wish it didnt have a scratchplate. but thats just because im fussy

Quality:
not much to say here realy .. is of a great quality

Value:
For the price you carnt go wrong. the gibson les pauls are over a grand a piece and ur only realy paying for the name there realy.

Desirability:
I personaly bought the guitar because my favourite guitarist "Slash" plays les paul guitars and i wanted somthing with a simial apeal

Sound:
The Guitar sounds great,Ive tuned down mine half a step and it sounds even better. I beleave the guitarist "Slash" also tunes his down half a step to make it squeel more

Ease of Use:
I find the guitar sounds alot better than my fender strat. it sounds alot stronger and you can realy hear the string bends.

Overall:
i probably wont buy another guitar now. unless i win the lottery and can afford a proper gibson les paul. but overall im very pleased with the guitar

Feature:
THe toggle wwitch from Trebble to Rythym and combination is a great feature that fits well with many styles

Quality:
Solid glued neck gives is a one piece feel. It just so beautiful i fear i may dent or scratch it.

Value:
for 4bills there isnt anything better!!!!!!!!!!

Desirability:
THe wood grain and color on the acutual guitar is 1,000 times better than the website does justice to it. Buy the Honey burst!!!!

Sound:
The humbuckers pick up screaming highs and mellow lows.

Ease of Use:
Tone controls help to modify to your liking. Extremly playable axe that is very forgiving and the raised bridge makes it a breezs for soloing.

Overall:
FOREVER

Feature:
love where les paul puts the tone switch easy access while i am playing separate volume and tone knobs for each switch position

Quality:
epiphone makes some quality guitars some parts seem to wear a little more input jack came loose all the time on my first one until i put some lock tight on it, head stock will break very easily if you hit it hard, my old one took a fall from a guitar stand and broke head stock clean off getting it fixed now so i will have 2 rockin guitars

Value:
you get a whole lot of guitar for the price of these guitars solid body

Desirability:
they make these in great colors i have heritage cherry burst and vintage sunburst, plus they have one that is the coolest guitar color i have ever seen SILVER BURST

Sound:
the sound is incredible i love the deep tones of les pauls and the set neck. best part is the sustain you get, you can hit a note and it will ring into next week

Ease of Use:
plug in adjust amp until you get the tone you want, i like all knobs turned all up and adjust amp to that no confusion to where i had knobs previously

Support:
believe it or not epiphone and gibson are under one company you pay for the gibson name and as i understand gibson quality control has gone down hill, if you look up epiphone.com you will find it's a gibson site

Overall:
this is the second one i have owned the first one is in shop getting repaired for broken head stock, i play these guitars on a daily basis, i travel around and play shows with and practice with the band twice a week for 4-6 hrs. they will hold up if you take care of them, i recommend a hard shell case my first one never left case until i played it and neither will the new one

Feature:
This guitar came with a 8' cord to hook it up to an amp, but other than that, there aren't that many features.

Quality:
This guitar is great, but I noticed two things. First, the pickup switch seems cheap, It wiggles from side to side as well as up and down. Second, under the bridge, the varnish didn't get applied there, and I can feel and see bare wood. Other than that, this guitar is great.

Value:
This guitar's value exceeds many other guitars in it's class. With the addition of new, better pickups, this guitar could easily exceed many others far above it's price range.

Desirability:
This guitar has very easy playability. I like the way the neck feels better than a fender or any other guitar that I've played. The guitar is a bit on the heavy side, but the stunning tone that this guitar produces quickly makes you forget about the weight.

Sound:
This guitar has the most robust sound that I have heard. I have played many guitars in it's class, but this guitar stands out far above the others. I would Recommend this guitar for the sound alone.

Ease of Use:
When I got this guitar, the action was just about right. A little adjustment and it played like a dream. I was amazed that It stayed in tune during shipping.

Overall:
This, being my first guitar, has performed better and sounded better than any other guitar that I have since purchased. I would recommend this guitar to anyone.

Feature:
it included a gator case which is worth about 120 bucks. it also included a free cord.

Quality:
It's made very well. the wood finish is very nice (honeyburst). You can depend on it it will take a lot before breaking. Perfect on the road with the case and it doesnt break.i think if i wanted i could play at least 20 years but ill probably get a new one.

Value:
Perfect price nothing compares within the price range of 100 to 700 $ id rather buy this with my budget because its just like the gibson except for the price.

Desirability:
i wanted it ever since i saw it and i worked hard to get the money. it looks amazing. the honeyburst wood finish is great.

Sound:
It sounds amazing perfectly clear. it sound just lik a gibson les paul. i put on my distrtion pedal nd it was perfect.

Ease of Use:
It was very easy to get great sounds. Just turn it on and youll fall in love with it. treble or rythym whatever fits you.It is perfect for my personal taste of metal/ modern rock

Overall:
Amazing guitar for its price. sounds good. i love it.

Feature:
Basic les paul, not too many features, that's why I bought it.

Quality:
It's an epiphone, they haven't been in business all these years b/c they werre cranking out crap.

Value:
At $399 this is a homerun all the way. Nothing else in this price range even comes close.

Desirability:
I purchased the vintage burst and it's just beautiful.

Sound:
I always heard that the first thing you do with an epiphone les paul is change out the pickups for Gibsons or EMGs. I can't say I agree. The model I have has a fantastic set of pickups, a really edgy bite and an exceptional clean tone.

Ease of Use:
While this thing isn't as heavy as a Gibson, it's still a tank compared to my Ibanez and my Jackson. Sounds great.

Support:
Support? For what?

Overall:
All my other guitars are sitting quietly since this one arrived.

Feature:
Love the thru body setup selector switch is sturdy and quiet, nice finish,

Quality:
seems well built kind of heavy but balanced more than my Strat

Value:
this is the only ten I've ever submitted!! It's a keeper!!

Desirability:
well made, balanced sets up quick looks great!

Sound:
kinda dirty a bit of a suprise for stock pickups, Owned a Gibson when I was a teen, its got that texture kind of quiet too!

Ease of Use:
Immediately changed strings and lowered action, no buzz across the neck, and fluid

Support:
don,t think i'll need it!

Overall:
one of the best buys this year
