Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I bought this because @ this time I can't afford a Gibson les Paul.Eventually it will be replaced with a superior model.
Sound
The sound is decent in the high's . The low's are a little muffled due to the low quality of the pick up. Go after market pickup.
Features
Overall not a bad guitar for a beginner!
Quality
The product is decently made , but the neck shifts so it's not appropriate for road gigs or alot of jumpung around.
Value
There is not alot to choose from for lefty's at this price range so you get what you get.
Manufacturer Support
Have not had any contact with the company , though I wlould like to pursue a endorsement with Epiphone , I am a fusion / rock shredder super fast alla Al Dimeola.
The Wow Factor
The paint is good , and the volume controls were very good and smooth, it's just a jam guitar. Will not play it live.

"Non-giging lefty on a budget? Then this might be for you..."

Overall: 2 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I've had this guitar for 2 years, and I'm looking for a new guitar. I've gotten a lot better as a guitarist, but when I bought the thing, I was only a beginner/intermediate player. It has done the job that I had wanted; I would probably be staying with this guitar for a while if I wasn't giging.
Sound
This guitar gets a decent tone. When I bought it, I wasn't leaning toward any specific genre of music. Since then, I've started to play hair metal, and although the guitar is fairly versatile, it's not suited for that specific genre. The pickups are decent, but they tend to be much better for higher sounds. I haven't had the money to upgrade them, but I would strongly suggest upgrading them if you are a rhythm player, so you can get the full range on chords and such.
Features
When I bought the guitar, it didn't come with any added features, only the hardware on the guitar. The tuners aren't very good at all. I've had to use this guitar live, and it has gone out of tune after 10 songs of intense strumming and soloing. Other than that, I can't find much else wrong with the features
Ease of Use
Like I've said before, the pickups are better on the high end, so it sounds very good when soloing. I use this with an Ibanez SM7 Smashbox (pedal) and an Ibanez TS7 Tubescreamer Overdrive, and I can get some good sounds with those pedals and heavy distortion on a line 6 spider III.
Quality
The guitar came to me unblemeshed, and I didn't have to set anything up additionally, but the tuners let the guitar fall out of tune fairly quickly. I would keep a backup if I had one for shows, and I would definetely invest in a higher quality guitar before taking this on the road.
Value
Compared to other items, this guitar is cheap, in both quality and price. But I'd say that it was worth the price that I paid for it. (about $265)
The Wow Factor
This guitar has nothing out of the ordinary to distinguish it from any other les paul, Gibson or Epiphone. Aestheticly, it looks good, but not as good as some of Epiphone's higher-priced, right-handed models.
