Feature:
This thing is put together very well. One thing I love about Epiphone/Gibson is that they include a LOT of printed material unlike Fender. It even came with a very nice cord and all the wrenches needed to set it up or change the set up.

Quality:
Factory control could use some help. The strings were just hanging but that really didn't matter. I re strung it with a set of Di Addario strings anyway like I do with all my Guitars. Everything elese fit perfectly.

Value:
Very well worth the price. This is an excellent product.

Desirability:
I LOVE the Cherry Burst finish. Again, just personal preference. I think LP's need a sunburst look. The Cherry Burst is really excellent. Even the darker parts of it let the wood grain show through. The gloss is perfect.

Sound:
I prefer the Open Coils over the chome domes. Just a personal preference. I think they are warmer and at the same time sharper than the chrome domes. I'm basically born and raised on Fender but also like and respect the Gibson sound. I've been playing and recording professionally since the 60's. As far as Gibson vs. Epiphone goes, I prefer Epiphone. This thing has a GREAT sound and the sustain is fantastic. One thing that totally surprised me is that it sounds better on my VOX Amp than my Marshall Amp! Go figure! I don't do live work anymore but do a lot of recording and this LP 100 will get used a lot.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to get great sounds from this. The controls are flawless. It came out of the box ready to tune and play. The action and neck feel great.

Support:
Haven't had to deal with them yet but the info packed with the LP was very complete and on line warranty registration was a breeze.

Overall:
I expect to be satisfied with this LP 100 for as long as I live. I may add more Guitars to my collection but this is definitely a keeper.

Feature:
I LOVE how the neck of the guitar is really thin so that it is easyer to play those really hard notes and cords.

Quality:
The quality of this product is perfect but the bolt-on neck. But i dont like how it shows vintage starburst and how the guitar color is black and orange, but the real color is brown and orange. So i was a little dissapointed.

Value:
This guitar really should be like 600$ but this is a great affordable price.

Desirability:
This guitar to me is a real eye-catcher and so far i love the feel.

Sound:
The sound of this epiphone is problay one of the best in the fleet of les pauls. The disadvantage of the sound of the guitar is the bolt-on neck, that is what makes the guitar go out if tune.

Ease of Use:
All i have to say is that the guitar is perfect for anything.

Support:
I got this for christmas so....

Overall:
The guitar is just simply great.

Overall:
I picked up this guitar at a local shop and played through a Vox amp for a few minutes then plugged into a mini Marshal stack and was blown away. I have a Les Paul and was shopping for a Squier Strat for my son when I found this beautiful axe. It was a gorgeous,deep,midnight black and played like a dream. It has the heft and feel of my Les Payul and the humbucks just howled the blues and made heads turn in the store. I flipped through a few settings on the amp and used the FX pedal and got a very decent rendition of Jimmy Paige and a soft styling of Hendrix. It plays blues licks like a pro and shifted between back up and lead like a dream. When I saw the price I definitely knew that someone priced the guitar wrong. I was floored when they told me the price was what showed on the tag. I played on....the neck and strings felt like butter in my hands and it balanced perfectly on the strap. I bought it and plan one day to give it to my son...ha ha. He is going to love it when he does eventually get it. What a perfect guitar for the beginner to the intermediate who wants the feel and play that only Les Paul can give. You won't be disappointed.

Feature:
i honestly love this guitars features,mainly because of the amazing neck it has,its just so easy to play with.but i wanted a guitar with the trapazoid fretts,but then again i luv that they r not trapazoid frets because i wanted a guitar that was different from the rest of mine,and i own a 1956 Goldtop lespaul,a slash signature gold top lespaul,and a lespaul custom.so i love the features on this guitar.

Quality:
this guitar is made pretty well,i love the nice,thick mahogany finsih on it,and like i said earliar,you will just fall in love with the feel of the neck,the only bad thing about it is that if you touch your guitar alot,and you like to keep it nice and clean,you will keep on having to wipe it off,and polish it (but not that much,only about 1-2 a year).so if you treat this guitar nicely,it might last you about 15-35 years!

Value:
this guitar is worth every cent u put into it!!

Desirability:
seriously,how the heck would you not want this guitar! its awesome!

Sound:
the sound on this guitar is just simply amazing,since i have a (rare) red one,mine came with Aninco Pro-2 pickups,which is just wat i wanted,because its they're the same pickups that slash used!!!.there r no sound flaws since i got it 2 years ago.its probably the best sounding guitar that ive ever gotten for this price range.

Ease of Use:
there isnt much to say about the ease of use since its just amazing,but what i can say is if you are planning on getting a guitar that is just mind blowing,but you cant afford a gibson,i would totally recommend this guitar to you,and the manual for this guitar tells you pretty much everything you need to know about it.

Support:
all i have to say for this is,if you need support or any stuff like that,just call up Epiphone,and they will handle the rest!

Overall:
This guitar will be worth everything that you put into it,i would recommend this guitar to everyone i possibly know,its just that amazing.and it even looks cool if you take off the pick guard!

Feature:
Its a Les Paul, so I was pleased that it had the stuff a Les Paul should have.

Quality:
For 260 bucks, its made pretty good. I got the cherry sunburst, and I was very satisfied with the finish paint job. Pretty dependable for how much its worth. Haven't used it in any shows yet, but I would definatley use this, no doubt about it. Also seems it takes damage pretty well.

Value:
Was worth for what I bought it for, and haven't found anything in its price range that could beat it.

Desirability:
For a person being on a budget, and it being a Les Paul, it appealed to me pretty well.

Sound:
I was pretty satisfied with the clean sound it puts out, with the chords coming out clean and clean solos sounding smooth. Wasn't very satisfied with the bridge humbucker for heavier distorted sound, but thats easy to fix with a Seymour Duncan or EMG humbucker. But all in all, pretty good sound for the price it is.

Ease of Use:
I love the action on this axe. Solos are a breeze to play on this thing, and rythms are just as easy. Goes out of tune from time to time, but if you got a good tone ear, that souldn't be too much of a problem.

Support:
Only upgrade i've done on this thing was taking out the orignal bridge humbucker and put in a Duncan humbucker in its place.

Overall:
I expect to be with this git fiddle for a good long while. I always supplement my gear. I will definatley wear this thing out, Les Pauls are just meant to be that way. If it was stolen, i'd either replace it or, if I could afford it, get a better Les Paul.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
The Humbuckers are a higher output then the ones on the LP Special II, and a higher output then any of the lower model Ibanez or Fender beginner/intermediate guiats have. The only complaint for me is that the Toggle Switch sometimes cuts out when you change from Rhythm to Treble or vice versa. Its nothing that can't be fixed though, its just an annoyance.

Quality:
There are a few things I might change, but this is again typical of Epiphone. Its not a Gibson, don't expect that. I'm worried about that toggle switch issue until i get it fixed, but other than that, im not worried. It is pretty sturdy and its not going to fall apart on you. Just be wary of the Epiphone product, you have to do some tweaking to it to get it just right in the end.

Value:
For a beginner/ intermediate level guitar, this is a good one, Gives you all the normalities of a Les Paul, just take away the name Gibson amd tone down some of the Quality of a 1000 dollar guitar. But for 250.00, this guitar smokes everything else out there.

Desirability:
It looks like a real Les Paul, who wouldnt want that? The finish is a little scrappy, but its nothing major.

Sound:
For the Price, this guitar has great sound. Typical Epiphone fuzziness on the distrotion, though, but nothing too fuzzy. Sounds fairly fat , much deeper than I first expected.

Support:
I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, never had to deal with them

Overall:
I tihnk after a while, I might be frustratred with the fuzziness of the Epiphone pickups, so I might upgrade to a different pickup , but other than that I think i would be satisfied with this guitar for a long time to come.

Feature:
The pickups are good and the rythem sounds good when I play punk or classic rock. The pickups are good for the price.

Quality:
The quality of this instrument is incredible. My mouth dropped when I first saw this LP. It looks like a Gibson Les Paul but the price tag is not as big.

Value:
Compared to other items it blows them out of the water this instrument is awesome.

Desirability:
I would buy another one of these LP if my broke or something because my check book is not big enough for a Epiphone LP Standard or Custom. If I had the money I would buy a Epiphone LP Standard though.

Sound:
The sound on this guitar is the same as a LP Standand. Also it has very good sound for punk rock and classic rock.

Support:
No problems but they need less exclusions with the product.

Overall:
I was completely satisfied with this productand I think this will last a long time. I hope everyone finds satisfaction from this LP.

Feature:
The overall feel is really good. Not too bad for a bolt on neck.

Quality:
The finish look great. The bolt on neck is the only thing I do not like though it does not compromise the quality of the guitar.

Value:
This instrumentis worth every penny.

Sound:
the overall sound that I get out of this guitar is great

Ease of Use:
The neck pick up gives you some real beefy tones for chords and the bridge pick up gives you the little extra bite for solos if you need it.

Overall:
If you want a Les Paul and can't afford a Gibson, the Epiphones are the next best thing. I would recommend
