Feature:
the satinfinish neck is awesome, its smooth with bonedry-hands and sweatyhands. the neck is little narrow so in combinatyion with the stin finish you really fly over the neck. the locktonwe tunomatic system is usefull as well,it also improves sustain and tone!!! body cut is very nice as it makes it way more comfortable to play sitting and standing!!

Quality:
i dont have it for too long but the finish is incredible. i got a custom shop version wich i havent managed to find on the internet yet. wich is very beatyful aswell.

Value:
sounds better then the average gibson les paul and costs hald the money!!!!!!

Desirability:
it simply looks ****** AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! i got the custom shop version wich is in black cherry and chrome hardware. if god created a guitar IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THIS ONE!!!!

Sound:
the sound is just AMAZING. i even dare to say that it sounds better than most gibson les pauls. the tone is awesome. the clean sound is perfect and the distortion is powerfull but not hurting your ears. even harmonics are easy on this guitar

Ease of Use:
very easy to use simply incredible comfort of playing because of the lighter weight and smooth and thin neck

Support:
no experiences yet...

Overall:
i wont change anythign to it! wont put other pickups in it either!

Feature:
grover tuners hold/feel nice. otherwise straight forward. plus the gold hardware everywhere looks sweet w/ the color scheme.

Quality:
though the finish is excellent, it absolutely shines, some aspects of it seem like they're kind of thrown together. you get up real close and it seems kind of cheap. i think one of my inlays might be ever so slightly crooked. i'd say it's like a van gogh, far away looks absolutely beautiful get up close you see all the brushstrokes.

Value:
though you can get slightly cheaper guitars out there that sound "good" or at least adequate, at the typical price (almost everyone is at 499) there is ABSOLUTELY NO competition for this axe. you can get thinline or semi hollow products out there but unfortunatley they mostly sound like garbage. otherwise you're in the 7-800 price range for anything that compares.

Desirability:
this turns eyes. even mine every day and it's next to my bed. if it keeps on looking so good it might end up in it.

Sound:
great all around sound. there is little residual sound (noise from untouched vibrating strings) compared to other chambered or hollow bodies. it sounds great with healthy distortion and good for the clean channel. it doesn't sound knock your socks off amazing clean, but it isn't a guitar for that. it can do almost any sound you want it to.

Ease of Use:
fastest neck you can buy for this money. HUGE RECOMMENDATION: play this piece with 09 strings. i think you'll thank me. do that and your fingers will fly!!! it's light - makes you want to get up and jam all the time.

Overall:
i expect to have this guitar forever. it serves its purpose quite nicely. i can take it anywhere, want to lift it up and play it all the time, and if i ever gig, i will look professional. i see no reason to purchase a more expensive chambered guitar or even solid body for that matter. the only way i would pass this up might be for a chambered strat and only then because of the tremolo. even then i would still want to keep this one. you simply can not get a guitar that does all the things the ultra does for the price.

Feature:
Not being used to two vol. and tone knobs made the guitar hard to figure out at first. After goofying around and understanding the setup, it become easier to manage.

Quality:
Nice looking guitar feels kind of small compared to my Charvel.

Value:
It is worth what they asked for, but could go for less. My vender dropped 100 bucks right off the bat.

Desirability:
Sexy guitar. It concerned me at first--it's beauty, but not any more.

Sound:
Deep and mellow. Not as hard as my Charvel Charvette, but overall once amp is setup, I can get what ever sound I want.

Ease of Use:
I wound not have believed it, but it is as fast as my Charvel. No manual! The guitar is very playable and friendly. THose who play fenders might have to learn how to hopd it differently, as the layout is more like an acoustic.

Support:
Had no need to contact them yet.

Overall:
This baby will stay and be passed along in the family just like all the others. This guitar will be my backup and use for none distored music. Those who really like to play, will like the product. To me it is a little bit to light. I like the feel of solid body and the wieght that comes with it. This guitar should make me a better player as it forces proper holding.

Feature:
the most useful feature is the tremble, the rythm is an excellent feature as well on the pickup nob!

Quality:
it was made well good controll and the body and frett work is excellent!

Sound:
the sound is great, it has a very clean sound, the tone is similar to a semi hollowbody! it responds great to playing, its very expressive! pretty good with other products. it sounds great live, and excellent in recording. the settings like always, effects the sound of every guitar, but it still sounds great in very settings! i have a fender g-dec amp, and the product sounds great with it. the mahogony in the body of the guitar could be a little bit thicker for a deeper sound, and if you are looking to upgrade gibson pick-ups would be a great way to get a different and arguably a better sound!

Ease of Use:
its very easy to use, easy to get harmonics and high pitches from this guitar

Feature:
the features are great the tone chambers make it sound awesome and the hardware is nice

Quality:
the quality and workmanship on this guitar is great

Value:
for a $500.00 epi it sounds as good as any of the gibson lp specials i've played

Desirability:
this is the best finishes on any epi. This is one of the main reasons i purchased the guitar along with the tone chambers

Sound:
the best sounding epi on the market

Support:
I have dealt with Gibson/epiphone and the have repaired my guitar with no problems. Except the wait to get it back.

Overall:
i expect this guitar to last for a long time.

Feature:
comes w/case big woop

Quality:
cable input broke second day of use, the lightest tap to tuners brakes them

Value:
too much $$$$ for such a cheap guitar

Desirability:
not really any more (check out ebay)

Sound:
the sound of this guitar is terrible, nothing like its older brother the gibson

Support:
just a phone #

Overall:
if ur cheap enough to not upgrade to a gibson and just want to save $$$ then just go for the LP100, it plays just like Gibson
