Feature:
it could use a better amp but for a starter kit the amp holds it own.

Quality:
no blemishes or scratches, was packed and delivered damage free, and as of today no problems at all

Value:
awesome price for what we received

Desirability:
it could be a little more flashy, but its price and the styling is worth it an made me lust over aquiring this guitar lol, I just knew this was the guitar for me when I seen it

Sound:
The sound from this guitar is wonderful, with a high end amp it sounds like a top of the line product.

Ease of Use:
it is so easy to play, its amazing the quality sound and how forgiving the guitar is for people like me with big hands an fat fingers.

Support:
did not need to contact, guitar was ready out of the case to play after tuning of course. I do recommend to have the guitar set up by a pro just to insure top quality performance. Mine needed just a little tweak here an there but nothing serious, just keeps the guitar in tune for longer.

Overall:
will always keep it until i break it. I am sure I will upgrade, but you always keep your first guitar for momento sake

Feature:
It literally has everything you need to get started. The amp is great, the strap is comfortable, the tuner is good, and the gig bag is awesome. The only things that I would improve on at all are perhaps the picks (maybe making them a little stiffer? Rather than being quite so flexible? Maybe that's just me...) and perhaps adding a short section to the DVD about chord formation so that you could pick up some basic chords right off the bat. But other than that, I can't think of any ways to improve this product.

Quality:
Quite frankly, it is the most sturdy looking and feeling instrument I have ever seen. Fantastic quality. Absolutely no scratches or blemishes anywhere on the product, and everything was in excellent condition out of the box.

Value:
Cheapest I could find after shopping around. And the low price guarantee is really comforting as well.

Desirability:
Awesome knobs, cool silver and gold accents on the black finish along the fretboard and body...just a sweet-looking guitar.

Sound:
Really awesome rich sound. It can either be played with a very "clean" sound with little or no distortion, or with the simple twist of a knob and push of a button on the amp become seriously crunchy. Exactly what I was hoping for when I ordered it. I have not yet tried it with other products or had opportunity to record it in my very low-tech home studio.

Ease of Use:
I went from the stiff and stubborn strings of an acoustic guitar to this...and man oh man, what a difference! The guitar plays more easily, it feels better to hold, it looks cooler...it's just amazing. The amp enabled me to adjust my own sound until I got just exactly what I was looking for, with a wide variety of other possible tones still available. Very playable.

Support:
When I opened the box I discovered that the electronic tuner advertised was missing, and that my kit included a pitch pipe instead. So I immediately went down and called the company to request the necessary replacement part and was met very warmly by an employee who was able to order the replacement part extremely easily. My only problem was that while the guitar only took two days to arrive, the tuner took more around a full week to get here. So as long as you're more patient than I am, everything should be fine. That seven days is well within the advertised waiting period for products shipped by this company, so there is really nothing at all for me to complain about.

Overall:
I expect to keep this guitar for as long as it will still play...and if anything goes wrong with it, I will most-likely seek to find a replacement part rather than a replacement guitar unless cost proves to be an obstacle. This was the most affordable and feature-packed guitar within it's price range (and even outside of it in a few cases too). Down the road, if it were stolen, I would probably buy an identical replacement. My favorite feature about the guitar is the guitar itself, though the sheer awesomeness of the amp comes in a close second (big volume, great effects)...but my least favorite feature is that I'm picky over picks and don't particularly like those that it came with.

Feature:
just a les paul nothing special

Quality:
hasent broke yet

Value:
good guitar for the price

Desirability:
i love it with a firery passion like no other

Sound:
This guitar rocks and sounds great. The amp blew out but i think thats because i played it to hard. The case is nothing speacial but it is nice. the video is very imformative and helps. the tuner is great and works nice. I like the guitar because it has two open coil humbuckers and it gives it a sweet hard rock sound. Other than that this guitar is nice and the package is ok.

Overall:
this guitar is great and reliable and is my # 1 guitar

Feature:
Got some picks, decent tuner and an OK strap, but the gig bag is awful.

Quality:
The guitar is very comparable to its (sure, better...but expensive!) Gibson cousins. Great axe for a beginner, and I'd even take it on stage with no worries or shame.

Value:
The guitar is well worth the cost...the accessories and amp, well...

Desirability:
Great, but still ain't a GIBSON Les Paul.

Sound:
The LP Special is a GREAT sounding guitar for the price, but "caveat emptor"...the amp that comes with the Player Pack is extremely low on the quality scale. It's fine for practice and learning, but leave it at home and buy a decent rig if you're going out to jam with anybody.

Support:
Gibson...the best!

Feature:
comes with everything!

Quality:
this guitar lasts for a while... ive been through 3 ibanez's in the past 2 months

Value:
CHEAP!

Desirability:
its sexy!!

Sound:
this product is awesome... thats why im getting one of my own!!!!!!! :)

Support:
never needed help.

Overall:
its so wonderful.. i borrowed one from a band member and played a lot better than my peice of junk ibanez.

Feature:
Has all the basics.

Quality:
Looks fine. Electronics are good. If it had better tuners, it'd be perfect.

Value:
Excellent value for the price. A very playable guitar for a great price.

Desirability:
Glad I have this guitar. Great as a back up.

Sound:
Great beginner guitar. Sounds great. Nice tone. Only problem is that is goes out of tune easily.

Support:
N/A

Overall:
Very satisfied with this guitar. Really a great deal for the money.

Feature:
The tunner is great! It really helps when you brake a string.

Quality:
This guitar has a great quality structure. But you do have to always keep the screws tightened. Especialy the ones at the top. It's not a peoblem.

Value:
I think the guitar should be more money because it it such a nice starter guitar with nice accesories.

Desirability:
The sunburst looks the best.

Sound:
It is a great sound for beginers or people that have already played.

Ease of Use:
It prety easy do do it with just the guitar. You will get awesome sounds if you buy a distortion pedel.

Support:
had it for awile and never needed support.

Overall:
I will keep using this guiatr untill I get better,

Feature:
The amp isnt the best. its good for me as my first guitar and it still sounds pretty good. my favorite feature is the guitar itself. its very nice and ill keep it for several years. ill upgrade the pickups in a year or so and obviously upgrade my amp aswell.the picks are good and the instructional DVD was very helpful to me.

Quality:
the cosmetic aspects of the guitar are good. no blemishes or scratches. However after a day, the silver thingys (im not sure what there called lol) that hold the jack in place fell off and i wasnt able to connect to my amp, there is also buzzing in the 5th and 6th string, but that can be fixed in a shop.

Desirability:
I love the way this guitar looks. i got the ebony finish because i didnt like the sunburst but now, i like the sunburst better...oh well shes still a beauty!

Sound:
The soud is good. i crank up the gain and put on the boost it sounds really nice. i always like to have the knobs all the way up for a really nice sound. ONe problem is that there is buzzing in the 5th and 6th string however i think this is because of the tune o matic bridge. Im am going to go to a shop later and have that fixed

Ease of Use:
this guitar is very easy to use.,

Support:
WHen i opened my box i noticed that instead of a tuner, there was a pitch pipe. i was fine with that except the pitchpipe didnt work.i called zzounds and they sent me an e-mail and a new tuner is on the way. i also called them when my jack broke. they offered to send me a new guitar and have me return this one but then i fixed the jack myself. The zzounds employees are extremely nice and helpful.

Overall:
i will keep this guitar for several years. ill upgrade the pickups and amp in a couple of years though, but for now its great.

Feature:
When I bought this guitar it didn't come with amps or anything it just came with a guitar period so I cant really give it a bad rating for buying what I wanted

Quality:
Ok on the quality the guitar hold up pretty well the only thing that I have really noticed is that the knobs on it come loose after a bit and need to be tightened up but the body of the guitar holds up like a champ I have dropped this guitar and nothing on it not even a scuff

Value:
well ill tell you what when I bought this guitar I paid $399 thats when they first came out with this guitar and had no deals on it so I would say whatever you pay for it its better then what I got it for

Desirability:
Ha I own it

Sound:
This guitar rock no ifs ands or buts about it the only thing I would say to do is throw some slinks on this bad boy and rock out

Support:
Well I dont know about you but my guitar has a lifetime warrenty on it and they hold true to it but to be honest with you I have never had to call them about anything cause the guitar is nice and doesnt require much work to be done to it

Overall:
great guitar good for beginners to pros I dont really think that the "cheaper" brand causes any difference in sounds its a gibson guitar no matter how you put it and gibson doesn't make a bad guitar even there cheap brand is effin sweet So I would say if you are going to buy a guitar stay with epiphone I play on both and I dont really notice that much difference in sound and I have been playing for 5 years so I should know what I am talking about by now
