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.

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

Feature:
Only reason I gave it 9 instead of 10 was due to the nanomag controls being placed in a spot I dont care for

Quality:
I bought this Blemished and couldn't tell where the Blemish was! Overall quality from the factory was perfect.

Value:
For the money you simply can not beat what you get. Put it this way if you cant make this bad boy sing for you pick up a harmonica and try again!

Desirability:
This is a sexy ass piece of wood

Sound:
The pups are awesome for this model and with the nanomag you cant go wrong

Ease of Use:
Out of the box... Set up perfect. Low Fast action. Perfect

Support:
Never called em'

Overall:
I will be buying another epiphone next month! I'm hooked.. nuff said

Feature:
The NanoMag is great!!!It offers true acoustic like qualities and makes this Les Paul one of the most versital ones out there

Quality:
Not quite a Gibson but deffinitly getting closer...

Value:
deffinitly... it could probally sell for it's msrp once more people catch on to it

Desirability:
I'ts deffinitly a beautiful guitar. Feels pretty nice and sounds great...

Sound:
This guitar sounds like a classic Gibson Les Paul and with the quick turning of a few nobs it sounds like an acoustic guitar with a brigt crisp clean sound. Heck you can play both sounds togeter if you want...I love this guitar it is especially good for me because I play a lot of Christian music and it can go between styles easily. I just hope Gibson takes a page from little brothers book and starts producing something like this themself. I'd love that quality. The only thing that weirds me out about the guitar is that it is so much lighter than my Les Paul... I don't see how it can have as good of sustain as the orriginal without the shear mass of it.

Ease of Use:
This guitar can even make the perpetual beginner (like myself) sound good.

Support:
I've dealt with Gibson but not Eppiphone...

Overall:
I'm not sure if I'll buy it this year or write to Gibson and see if they will make one any time soon. I'm going to need to buy one soon though it is very versital has great tone and is overall just a great sounding guitar. Once I get it it will stay with my collectiion for life. It combines my two loves in one guitar Les Pauls and acoustics...

Feature:
Nanomag controls could be easier to access and bigger or different type knobs. Tone and volume and pick up switching controls could be laid out better for easier modification. 3 jacks, maybe for humbuckers alone vs. nanomag alone vs. all pick ups?

Quality:
Tone lovely. Form and finish- mostly terrific, and playability awesome. Some minor cosmetic blemishes. Really trivial, but slightly annoying.

Value:
The versatility the Nanomag adds to the guitar is incredible. Light weight, beautiful form and finish. Terrific playability. Hard to beat at any price!

Desirability:
Gotta have it. No other guitar does what it does- an LP with classic humbucker tone as well as acoustic capability, light weight, cut away and rear sculpted form- a work of art!

Sound:
Nanomag is incredibly killer cool. Awesome acoustic tones. Then switch to humbuckers and rock out, or blend with infinite variety.

Ease of Use:
More complex than your average electric guitar, but worth the effort of learning, for sure!

Support:
Gibson and Shadow are terrifically helpful!

Overall:
Not even thinking about anything else. Might switch out the humbuckers for custom vintage PAF pick ups or EMG actives, maybe.

Feature:
Normal accessories. Hard case, tools, manual etc... Selection of components OK, (it is so classic.....) Wood work is fine. Only negative point is that the gold plating on the mikes and on the tune o matic is too thin, it is partly worn out and one can see the nickel surface under it.

Quality:
It is really made well like a Swiss Watch. Factory quality control is well managed. Only negative point is that the gold plating is too thin and by the time it starts to worn out. I can depend on it. Usually we have allways one or two spare quitars in a concert. Last time we needed one; my colleque´s Strato didn´t work. He had tightened the jack before the concert and due that the welding has broken in the jack. We started the show an suddenly he noticed that the Srato didn´t work

Value:
Really, this product is worth of price

Desirability:
Actually it has a great aesthetic marvel an top desing. It is still beautifull. You understand what a quitar means to a quitarist; it is like a mate or a girlfriend?

Sound:
That is my instrument and tool. I am using Fender Hot Rod Deluxe 100 W amp. Very good highs, mids, and lows. Great sound. Top gear

Ease of Use:
Very easy and light to play, good for fingers in daily use. Tuning is OK. Electrical parts OK. I have this version with original Gibson mikes, they are OK.

Support:
It was OK all parts are available. That is important when the isntrument is in hard daily use. I am satisified.

Overall:
I´ll never sell it, but buy a Telecaster for a second one. There is no reason to sell a good item. The quitars are individuals. Some items of the same brand sound better and are better, even if you have a good brand.. Once my former guitar was stolen, I got a new one and it was not good...

Feature:
The accoustic function on this i great, the rhythm/treble switch feels a little cheaply made but overall good featured.

Quality:
This feels like it will last a lifetime. It is very solid. The only problem I have is the toggle switch.

Value:
This is might be slightly overpriced.

Desirability:
This is very appealing in both colors and the accoustic setting makes the want meter go way up.

Sound:
Great sound overall, the low E sounds a little metallic aat first but i am sure it will improve as i break it in.

Ease of Use:
This sounds great right out of the box and the accoustic setting is really easyas well.

Support:
I have not needed to call support but I would imagine that they are fairly good.

Overall:
Overall a great guitar, when you break it in. The sound toggle switch needs work though.

Feature:
well I got the gator case and it doesn't fit very well so my 3rd buckle always ops open but the other 3 stay so its fine

Quality:
my treble pickup is having some problems it dies sometimes

Value:
it was pretty good

Desirability:
SEXY

Sound:
Amazing sound. Just wish I gota better amp to do it justice

Ease of Use:
rlly easy

Support:
never had to deal with it

Overall:
ya like I said only problem is the treble pickup for me

Feature:
Basic stuff. The nanomag doesn't provide any additional versatility that your FX processing can't.

Quality:
Nice fit and finish. A couple of buzzing frets, evn after setup.

Value:
They should keep that beautiful midnight finish, ditch the nanomag, and put EMGs in this puppy with a solid body. Then it would be a gret value.

Desirability:
Love the look, would have preferred a solid body.

Sound:
The nanomag is a gimmick. It's a shame that they chambered the solid body on this guitar to accommodate it.

Ease of Use:
Stereo outputs are useless into a POD and other effects that only have single inputs for guitar. Tweaking sound at the guitar level is not preferred method. You're better off doing this in the digital domain on your PC when recording.

Support:
No need
