Feature:
It comes with everything you need to play the blues minus the amp.

Quality:
The only one thing I noticed to be odd about the guitar. is some of the border work and edge art is a little sloppy. Thats it though. The guitar comes ready for a show. I know that in a few year I will prob have to change out some parts. Which in my opinion is a good thing. Because when a part goes out I always replace it with the best available. And being an epi you can just buy straight gibson parts that will last you for a long time. Buy this guitar you will be happy.

Value:
The price is good for some of the other equipment out the this is a bargain. Also if you want to go on vacation. Go to Korea and pick on up.

Desirability:
Very sleak and great looks.

Sound:
I own the standered les pual by Gibson. My Epiphone custom sounds and plays identicaly to each other. Really, I can't tell much difference. When I first got this guitart the action was off a little fixed that and now no buzz no anything. Its amazing how similar they play.

Support:
Haven't had to use it yet.

Overall:
Buy it.

Feature:
Fine out of the box, though most people replace the pickups as with pretty much any guitar. Worth replacing the nut, but otherwise the guitar is solid.

Quality:
No loose parts, nothing shaky. The nut is worth replacing with graphite or bone, everything else will last.

Value:
Costs what it's worth.

Desirability:
I wanted a heritage cherry sunburst LP since I first saw one about a dozen years ago. Now I've had one for over a year and I still love it.

Sound:
Sounds like an LP. Fat, thick, chunky, lots of sustain. Excellent for rock and blues, probably excellent for metal though that's not really my style.

Ease of Use:
Very playable.

Support:
n/a, no need yet.

Overall:
I don't expect to ever get rid of it, but I might get another for tinkering.

Quality:
I COULD NOT BELEIVE THAT SUCH BEAUTIFUL GUITAR COULD PLAY SO WELL RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX. THE FIT IS EXCELLENT, THE FINISH IS TO DIE FOR.CLEAR AND DEEP NOT A BLEMISH TO BE FOUND.

Desirability:
WOW!IN MY HANDS IT FEELS LIKE IT BELONGS THERE. EASY TO PLAY RESPONDS WELL FINISH IS TOTALLY AWESOME CLEAR AND DEEP JUMPS RIGHT OUT AT YOU.

Sound:
HAS NICE CHUNKY SOUND AND GREAT SUSTAIN

Ease of Use:
WORKS WELL WITH MY PEAVEY BANDIT 80 WATT AMP.PLAYS LIKE A CHARM. ALOT EASIER TO USE THEN MY FENDER TELECASTER.

Support:
HAVEN'T NEEDED ANY AS OF YET. BUT I OWN A LES PAUL EPIPHONE 100 AND THE SERVICE I DID RECEIVE WAS QUICK AND PROFESSIONALLY DONE.

Overall:
NO I HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF BRAND NAME GUITARS AND THIS JUST FEELS LIKE IT BELONGS IN MY HANDS ON STAGE.I WAS LOOKING IN A MUSIC STORE AND I HEARD A GUY TRYING ONE OUT. THE SOUND JUST GRABBED ME. I LOOKED ON THE RACK AND THE COLOUR ALONG JUMPED AT ME. THE STORE HAD TO ORDER IT IN FOR ME AND I HAVE BEEN NOTHING BUT PLEASED SINCE. WOULD DEFINITELY GET IT REPLACED WITH THE SAME ONE. IF I'D HAVE KNOW HOW GOOD THE SOUND AND LOOKS WERE I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT ONE A LONG TIME AGO. TO REPLACE IT WOULD BE HARD THE MUSIC STORE TELLS ME THE'RE NOT BEING MADE ANY MORE. WHAT A SHAME.

Feature:
My store give me this guitar for US$400 along with CNB (hardshell moulded case), I don't know this price could be to good to be true. I think everything has done very well (for a made in korea, I don't see anything I should replace with, including the stock pick up..it's really really very complete for me.

Quality:
I have no complain, especially it's an excellent craftmanship.

Value:
It'a a really cheap version of les paul custom.. i give this product one of the best.

Desirability:
I fallin in love with this sexy guitar from the very first sight. Heritage Flame Maple..Who won't??

Sound:
Well, I played guitar for almost 20 years now, I play in church, my other premium guitar is Fender Stratocaster RS Signature Series . I play it through Mesa Boogie DC-3 and ...for this lovely guitar...it really sounds in anyway you define rock sound. I'm very grateful to have this one and will keep this forever.

Support:
It's a gibson sister company, they're always good I suppose.

Overall:
Go for it... you'll never regret it!!!

Once set up properly, this guitar has the sound and playability of a genuine hand-crafted guitar. I originally purchased it with the idea of replacing the pickups with a '57 Classic and a '57 Classic Plus. I have that combination on another guitar. It would be a complete waste of time to replace the stock Gibson pickups. They are exceptional!

The workmanship and attention to detail compares favorably with my two hand made Godins and my Martin D-41. It is, indeed a great guitar. Maybe I got lucky, I don't know.

This guitar is sweet. It plays and sounds really good. You can't beat the price of it for such a great guitar....Heck, it's THAT close to being as good as a Gibson Les Paul. The craftmanship seemed liked it was just a TAD sloppy on mine, the red finish on the mahogany back (my god it's gorgeous) seemed to have tiny splotches on the cream binding here and there. I love this guitar, and recommend it highly to someone looking for a great quality guitar for the price.

I have owned a Gibson Les Paul and they are a real quality instrument. And I have owned a limited edition Epiphone Les Paul with the vibrato bar arm.The Gibson Les Paul is more solid.It seems to me the weight of the Gibson is more dense, And the neck is more solid and joined to the Gibson body with a forevermore better joint.But,the Epiphone stays in tune and has good sound the epiphone vibrato bar was a plus at the time it was a limited edition.Epiphone guitars are very good instruments for the reasonable price.

In my opinion, if you dont have a much for the real thing, go for this. the difference between Gibson Les Pauls and the Epiphone copies is surprisingly slim. yes you can tell the difference straight away but for the money your'e not getting too much more. Personally, i love my epiphone, and have customised it with a new tonepros bridge and a good old seymour duncan pearly gates humbucker.
