"READ THIS BEFORE YOU BUY ANY LESPAUL"
Feature:
wish there was a tremolo bar!!!!! then it could give the craziest sounds while looking cool! standard grover machine heads with a tune o matic bridge. also it has 2 volume n 2 tone knobs. with a treble/rhythm switch.
Quality:
This is solid!!! I dont think it will even have a scratch if i bang it on the floor like jimi hendrix use to do...yes,,,its that solid,, heavier than usual guitars but built very solid. finish is great n the paint job is excellent. no loose parts or knobs or anything.
Value:
Great for the price!!!! I would even pay double for it!!!! awesome guitar is the high end gibsons are a little too away from the reach of your pocket.
Desirability:
It looks hot.Sexy piece this one. I have a heritage cherry sunburst colour which i love.
Sound:
Classic vintage sound. Not so good for modern metal though... for that u might head to a bc rich store or somethin... the humbuckers arnt that gud as compared to the gibsons... but u get what u pay for. wish the humbees had more sustain and were more powerful...
Ease of Use:
very easy to use. just plug in n play. 2 volume knobs n 2 tone knobs give a wide array of sounds. highly expressive. action is great and can be adjusted accordingy...
Support:
Havnt had any problem with this axe so far... so cant tell. neither had any experiences with the epiphone guys.
Overall:
I would definately replace it if it were lost or stolen... i would want to upgrade it with gibson humbuckers so that it sounds like a true lespaul!! the best thing i like about this guitar is the classic les paul shape n the finish. Nothing i hate about it.

"Great deal in my opinion"
Feature:
Eh, how do you rate features on guitars? They're what you'd expect.
Quality:
I'll ding a few small things. The screw on the front strap button (or whatever it's called) keeps slowly working its way loose. I have never seen this happen on any of the dozen or so guitars I've owned. (Though I know a guy whose very expensive American Strat is much worse than this guitar.) Irritating. Also, the nut on the plug keeps coming loose, but that's a much more common problem. The volume pots are fairly unresponsive until you get down to 3 or 4, then they drop off all at once. Makes it difficult to fade out evenly on a heavy, crunchy chord. Outside of that, I've found that the tuners are pretty good. Sometimes a lot of extreme bending will knock the thing out of tune, but not very often. The bridge seems to like breaking my high E strings...I go through them like crazy. Much more quickly than on the Tele. And they always break at the bridge. Otherwise, the neck seems great, the frets are awesome in my opinion, playability is really high.
Value:
I've had the chance to play a few real Gibson LP's, and I loved them. But, at least to my ears and experience level, there's no way I can justify the $1100 difference in price between the two. I'm no pro, so I'm not saying the Gibson is a ripoff (though I would go so far as to say that at least a few hundred dollars of the price on a Gibson is for the name). Overall, I'd rate the value of this guitar extremely high. 9 going on 10.
Desirability:
The axe is beautiful, highly playable, and it sounds great, apart from some muddiness. I have the black model with white trim, and I've always thought the black LP was one of the prettiest guitars out there. Sure, I wanted a sunburst, or even a red one...but I think black looks dead sexy.
Sound:
Sustain is astonishingly good for a guitar in this price range. Lack of sustain is one thing I've never liked about my Thinline Telecaster. It' s true that the pickups are a bit muddy...I may put Duncans in mine, if I ever get around to it. The problem is especially pronounced on the 5th and 6th strings when playing the bridge pickup. (I know..."Duh!") I can get some really sweet tones on the 3rd and 4th strings around frets 7 to 12, but then when I hit the 5th and especially the 6th string, there's no definition at all in the sound. Still, I get some really warm, lovely sounds out of this guitar. And I'm sure the Duncans would perk things up considerably.
Support:
No idea. I've only had the thing maybe three months.
Overall:
Unless I manage to get rich some day, I'll never find myself thinking, "You know, it's time to turn in the Epi for a real Gibson." And now that I've had the chance to get used to the feel of an LP, I'll never be able to go without one.

"BETTER THAN YOU WOULD THINK."
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:The selector switch really distinguishes between the pickups.
Quality:
Fit and finish on this axe is impecable. Seems to be very well made.
Value:
A great value on a very well made guitar
Desirability:
Beautiful intrument. The cherry sunburst looks like a vintage Gibson.
Sound:
Crisp clear sound, not like some LP's. Sounds bad with distortions.. mean it in a good way. More compatible with Classic Rock. Some string buzz, but not too noticeable... could probably be fixed with a proper setup.
Ease of Use:
Easy to play. Smooth neck and good string action.
Support:
Haven't needed support yet.
Overall:
I expect to keep this product for a long time. If it was lost or stolen I would replace it. I like the playablility, looks and price of this instrument the most
""OK. Great thick sound, too heavy and wide.""
Feature:
O.K. features, pick between treble, rythem, or in between. And of course the adjustment knobs.
Quality:
Ecxellent no flaws, and looks hand crafted.
Value:
Not worth that much.
Desirability:
I really wanted it a couple a months ago, now it feels kinda thick and heavy. :(
Sound:
Great fat sound, and great sustain. Although it doesnt work great for classic acoustic sound, or finger plucking. Its exelent for hard rock, punk, or classic blues, because of its thick sound. Don't rely on it to play all kinds of music. The pick-ups arent like "great pickups" there sort of "yeah, pretty good".
Overall:
I want a new guitar with a maple neck, and lighter body. I'm not satisfied with this product too much.

"Glad I bought it."
I used to have a nice Fender Strat that I wound up selling a few years ago during hard times. After going without an electric for years, I recently decided that I just HAD to have an electric guitar again. My wife noticed and bought me a Fender Squier guitar / amp combo pack for Christmas. Not bad for the money, (otherwise it was horrible) but I quickly wanted better. My wife told me to get something for once that I would be satisfied with. So... I started thinking and searching and finally decided that the Epiphone Les Paul sounded like the guitar I wanted in the price range I could handle. So, off to the music store down the street and for once luck was with me. They had the Epi LP on sale and in the color (black) I wanted. I bought it and have been in love ever since. It is beautiful both to look at and to play. I love the fact that there is no (&#$@#) whammy tremolo bar. I hate those things. I love the action, the rich sound and the excellent feel of the guitar. It is heavy, but so is the sustain. I feel sure that this guitar will make me happy for years to come. Hopefully so will my wife.
Epiphone Les Paul Std. Customer Review
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Quality:I bought this guitar August of 2008 and still love this guitar every time I see and play it. It is the best guitar I have ever owned and I have owned and played Gibsons, Fenders, etc. I just can't seem to put this guitar down and the sound is absolutely awesome. This guitar is your best buy for the money you will spend for it, and I highly recommend it.
"Guitar Worth Buying"
Feature:
The pickguard/scratchplate is good, everything is really well chosen in terms of features. The neck will chip, I've heard that and experienced it, but will never break off. Any scratches on it and I would freak out, even though it isn't my guitar. It just looks so good.
Quality:
If this product wasn't made well, I'm a cow. Yeah, it's made well! It dropped off the stage and slammed onto the concrete, but only a small chip came out of the neck, not even a string was broken. It was still in tune enough to do the show.
Value:
Hell, yeah, this product is worth it's typical selling price. It's just a Gibson with a different name on the headstock.
Desirability:
This guitar looks great, too. If it plays well and looks good, you know you have a good guitar.
Sound:
Sounds really good, just like all Les Pauls. High notes have that sound between notes that make it great for solos. The pickups are really responsive.
Ease of Use:
Really easy to use, I played "Born to be Wild" on it the first time I saw it just to test out the sounds, from first position to barre to solos, everything is really easy to do, sliding is not as awkward as a Stratocaster.
Support:
Don't know, the guitar is so good, but I've heard they're good so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
