Quality:
I only own this guitar for few months now so I can only tell about the finish. It's probably the only thing that is not perfect on it. It is pretty pretty good but not perfect and it is surely the reason why there is Epiphone and Gibson - $1000 and $3000. The rest of it seems more than Ok to me. I'm sure that this product would be appropriate for use "on the road" and I will discover real soon.

Desirability:
This guitar is so "sexy". I always dreamed of a Les Paul and the Custom one got the most beautiful headstock of all. I am a little tired of Sunburst and Gold color. When I saw this Arctic White matched with Gold hardware, I fell in love on the spot. I asked the salesman to put it on the side for me and I went back to the retailer 2 weeks later to pick it up. If I would give a name to my LP, I would call her "Izabelle"...

Sound:
This guitar has a lot of tone. The sound is very versatile: I can play Rock, Heavy Metal or Blues and I always find the sound i'm looking for without having to switch for another guitar. I play this beauty with Boss pedals in a '83 Peavey VTX Combo Amp. I tried it in a Fender Reverb and a Marshall TSL100 and it still sounds amazing. Maybe a little more Tone from the neck pickup would be expected - my personal taste - but you can still change the original pickup or play with the EQ of the amp.

Ease of Use:
The feel of the neck is superb. It's easy to play with. The frets are the perfect size and my fingers are sliding like never. To bend the strings is a smoothy action as drinking a milk shake. I never had the chance to try a real Gibson LP but I played a PRS Custom 24, a Fender American Strat '71 and plenty of other good guitars and my Epiphone remain my favorite - especially for the price!

Overall:
I believe to be satisfied for a very long time if it's not forever with the Epiphone Les Paul Custom. Of course I will search for another product one day but not to replace it... I'd like to get the exact same but Black! I would recommend to anyone who can afford it. It's my 7th guitar and my favorite way ahead of all the other ones. It sounds great, it feels good and she's sexy like my wife - oops! You can play any music style and this guitar will absolutely suits your needs.

Feature:
C'mon, we all know what the standard features of an LP are.

Quality:
Sturdy, good solid feel, the aesthetics too are nice in nearly every way. Mine came in wonderful fit and finish with only one noticeable flaw to it. Two of the knobs are slighly crooked.

Value:
I've owned an Epi Special, a Standard, and eight Gibby LPs. I was extremely dissatisfied with the Special. The Standard was fairly good, but not great. This custom is, however, extremely comparable to several of my most expensive guitars that cost me well into the thousands! I’ve heard people remark that it is expensive for an Epi, and to them I say, “Go to a store and try an Epi Custom. Then try the most expensive guitars in the store, and THEN you tell me it is expensive.” The guitar is definitely worth the money!!!!

Desirability:
It's black, and it's beautiful. Go see one and you be the judge.

Sound:
I own more guitars than I care to mention (my only addiction is collecting guitars...), and this definately has that deep, sweet sustainful tone that everyone buys a Les Paul for in the first place. It's a little less bright and a bit more mellow sounding than my Gibby LPs, but the tone is just as warm and full. I can get a funky jazz sound out of using both stock pickups, the blues in a clean setting from the neck, and still do some serious hard-rocking using the bridge combined with distortion, all the while producing a tonal quality that would rival any of my other guitars.

Ease of Use:
The neck is a bit slim for my tastes, and being used to the longer scale length of my SRV Strat I was surprised at how comfortable the guitars feels to play. Though the action was a bit high from the store, with s small bit of setup the thing plays like a dream! No fret buzz, nice feel to the fingerboard, fairly good finish to the fretwork; excellent. I've tried three of these and haven't run into one yet that didn't play smoothly.

Support:
I never had to deal with support. So I'll given them the benefit of the doubt.

Overall:
Right before I purchased this guitar I was looking for something much more expensive, and already had a bias against Epiphones. But after having played this I couldn't justify buying another guitar for four-times as much when this one sounds and plays so perfectly. I have now completely changed my mind about the higher-end Epiphones. I intend to keep this guitar for life. That is a statement I wouldn't make about almost any guitars I've owned. If I were in the market for a good all purpose guitar, and money is a consideration...This is the guitar I'd buy. In fact, I bought one for my son as well, for that very reason. And, if it was lost or stolen, I would buy another without a second thought! :)

Feature:
set up great, i got it in limited edition silveburst paint *drool*

Quality:
the guy i bought it from said everything is gibson except pickups and they sound great any way!

Value:
i bought it for $969au a year after it was brought out

Desirability:
such a sexy guitar, i love the chrome hardware on mine

Sound:
good blues/rock/rockabilly sound

Ease of Use:
great

Support:
havent needed any

Overall:
BUY IT, instead of ibanez

Feature:
Mine stays in tune. The pots are nice. Can't understand the poor reviews that some people have concerning the pots. They are very smoothe and tight.

Quality:
Cheers! Great job in craftsmanship.

Value:
I gave it a 10.

Desirability:
A Gibson Les Paul is tops I guess,--This one is just a Korean work of art. They can make this stuff as good as we can! And at a lower price.

Sound:
I bought this guitar and was very surprised at the tonal quality. I don't need any aftermarket pickups,--the stock ones sound fine to me.

Ease of Use:
I have five other guitars. This one is my nicest. Was I just lucky?

Support:
I gave them a 9! I am speculating.

Overall:
I have high hopes for this guitar!

Feature:
Very good stock pickups, probably not going to change them, tuners and tone lock bridge are amazing, hardly ever goes out of tune, can drop tune on the fly. What else? Body is gorgeous, white creme binding, i have the wine red, not sure if it's still available but I've played the white as well, gorgeous too!!! if your used to a tele/strat this will be a good bit heavier on your shoulder but no worries it's worth it

Quality:
Finish great, no filler to be seen, very sturdy, beautiful wood grain finish, very impressed by the craftmanship, frets were clean and cut PERFECTLY, smooth as silk

Value:
Expensive for an epiphone you think? I mean it is a copy right? Guys i would easily spend an extra 200 on what i got, highly impressed. There is a huge difference between 200-300$ epi's and this and the standard plus top, get one now

Desirability:
Only ballers play Les Pauls! I got a strat too but a pauls a paul. When someones on stage and playing a paul the attention is always there. It commands attention.

Sound:
Thick, warm, sweet tone that sustains for days. If your looking for that "les paul" sound don't be scared by the epi name. Neck pickup is my fav, gives thick and nice warm blues sound. Add some overdrive to the bridge pup and let some led out. Obviously being a LP it is naturally bottom heavy tonally, but this is awesome when downtuned

Ease of Use:
plug and play, all the tone you want is there, plays like butter

Support:
have not needed it, thought i had a pickup going out but it ended up being a crappy cheap cable i got probably pretty shady of me but they get an 8 on support for the benefit of the doubt

Overall:
Would I own only a Les Paul, no. Could I go without this in my collection, no way. This is the go to guy. If your thinking of buying this but are hesitant, this is a no brain winner, you can't go wrong.

Quality:
Best guitar you can buy. Didnt see any marks on this one, unlike some other companiies I've dealt with. came in perfect condition.

Value:
great value. other places like ebay and other websites value soo high for this guitar.

Desirability:
This is one beautiful guitar. Picked it over my girlfriend. I wonder why she hasnt called.

Sound:
best sound you'll ever hear from somethin this hott!

Support:
easy as hell to get to. reached them with in 5 or 6 minutes.

Overall:
awoooooogaaa

Feature:
stays in tune for a while. 2 volume 2 tone knobs making a killswith with the Rhythm and treble knob. the gator case has a lock on it for great amount of security.

Quality:
ok it came in a box, and inside that box there was fillings of cardboard, and the case was wraped in plastic, and inside the case (guitar) was wraped in a thin styrofoam, so i think it came really well. although i had to tune it, it was about a half step down.

Value:
i only went with zz because of it's plan which is btw amazing. it's so convient and with excellent customer service.

Desirability:
i wear dark colors when i go to shows so i chosed the alpine white and it stands out like a sore thumb and brings attention to me. (not to sound concieded)

Sound:
She sounds like a true guitar. very clean and sounds amazing with even the heaviest distortion.

Ease of Use:
im not very good at guitar but i can shred up and down this neck like nothing. the action is soooo low to the fretboard. it came with a manual which helped me learn more about this beauty.

Support:
i used the pay as you play plan and i payed $218.20 and it shipped in about a week or less mabye. these guys know what their doing and they were as friendly as can be.

Overall:
i wouldn't by it from anywhere else. this product is the best item i've ever got in my life hands down.

Feature:
no accessories with mine,but the independent volume and tone allows for a lot of versatility,just an amazing machine.

Quality:
i just love this guitar,the quality seems great,not one problem.

Value:
i would have paid more for a guitar that sounds this good, as a matter of fact i have

Desirability:
just looking at this guitar makes you want one

Sound:
ive owned gibson lp's and the sustain and tone on this guitar is as good or better than a couple that i've had.

Ease of Use:
with a little adjusting and tweeking,you'll get the sound you want.

Support:
no need for support so far,so i'll give them the the 10 under assumption that their support is as good as their product.

Overall:
this one will stay with me for life,if something happened to it i would get another one right away.
