Feature:
The only thing that I was a bit dissapointed was that it didn't include a gig bag nor straps. But for what I saved on the price of the guitar I had plenty to invest on all those.

Quality:
This guys in quality control worked their butts off(at least on mine they did,,lol) everything is solid and well made and balanced. Beutiful color(this one is a blend between red-burgundy and wood pattern, just beutiful) GREAT VALUE AND SOUND!

Value:
This guitar is worth every penny!

Desirability:
Once I decided to learn to play the guitar and seen this one, I even tried other brands and models but I came back to my first choice. THIS ONE, once I seen it, felt it, played I fell in love.

Sound:
I just recently got a new Epiphone Special 2 and I have to admit that it is too much guitar for the $. It surprised the @#@#! out of me once I hooked a Metal Zone distortion pedal. The quality is second to none. And the sound, needless to say, YOU HAVE TO TRY ONE FOR YOURSELF! fOR ANY TYPE OF METAL, THIS AX WILL DO YOU JUSTICE, So save you the $$ and get this bad boy. You wont regret it!

Support:
No need for that!

Overall:
I don't think I would replace this one with another guitar since this one can be tricked out. I plan to keep this one and upgrade it as necessary.

Feature:
ONE VOLUME AND ONE TONE CONTROL IS ALL WHAT WE NEED.

Quality:
I HAVE NOT ENCOUNTER ANY HITCH FROM THE TIME I GOT IT FROM THE BOX

Value:
NO COMPLAINT.

Desirability:
I REALLY DESIRED TO HAVE ONE WHEN I FIRST SAW IT ON THE NET

Sound:
IT FITS MY STYLE. LOVE CLASSIC ROCK.

Support:
LIMITED WARRANTY!

Overall:
ITS AN 11 FOR AN ENTRY LEVEL GUITAR

Feature:
Finish is good, and the lacquer goes well with the vintage sunburst colour. Love the toggle switch.

Quality:
Finish is very good for the price

Value:
Excellent value for money.

Sound:
I'm a bass player and bought this as a spare for playing guitar when I don't want to use my Yamaha acoustic. The sound quality is excellent, and for the price you can't find much better pickups.

Overall:
This will always remain in my collection of guitars.

Feature:
amp cable, 1 volume , 1 tone

Quality:
good no dents when i got it. i dropped it on concrete and not even a scratch!

Value:
the best price you'll get for it

Desirability:
i wanted a epiphone les paul standard but this guitar is pretty sexy

Sound:
humbuckers were alright. i switched them for duncans and it sounds awesome

Ease of Use:
it has a les paul body. what else can i say?

Support:
didn't need it

Overall:
i think i'll keep this for about a year and a half

Feature:
The only accessory that I received was a very inexpensive cable. I am happy with the toggle and two knob configuration. The materials used aren't the cheapest used by the market today. The strings are of good quality but I'll upgrade to a medium grade as my style requires. Thank you Epiphone for not using poplar in constructing this guitar!

Quality:
The guitar was built like a brick house. The finish is very sexy. I would not think twice about taking it on the road. This guitar will be in use for many years.

Value:
There is no question here! No complaints about not getting a gig bag or any other stuff you'd get with a cheaper guitar. The money is all in the quality of the instrument.

Desirability:
The Epi LP II has mad sex appeal and makes women jealous that I'm not holding them in my arms!

Sound:
The sound is incredible! They didn't go cheap on the pickups, even though I'd upgrade them if I was extremely picky. I'm using this instrument as a studio instrument and it is way better than what it has to be.

Ease of Use:
This guitar being a Les Paul style fits like a glove and is very user friendly. I can't keep my hands off of it! The toggle and two knob configuration fits my personal taste and is very straight-forward.

Support:
I have not needed any support and I expect I should not need it with the quality of Epiphones.

Overall:
This guitar has already surpassed my expectations. I need to play better to do it justice! I'd replace it with the same exact guitar if something unfortunate happened.

Feature:
Very simple and easy to use, 3 way selector..thats really all you need.

Quality:
I was amazed at the quality of this axe, considering it costs less than an xbox!!!!!!! paint is wicked, looks sexy, better that some of the more expensive models.

Value:
Cant be beaten!!!

Desirability:
Ive met a lot of women who are more wooden than my guitar! she's one hell of a sexy guitar!

Sound:
Ive been playing a strat copy for a few years and needed to step up a little. This guitar sounds amazing and can re-create any blues or blues rock sound,providing the correct kit is used.

Ease of Use:
I thought (only ever playing a strat) this would be difficult to move from one style to another. Tried a few including RG's, music man and PRS but this one was the most natrual to play for my experience.

Support:
Spot on!

Overall:
Cant fault it!!!! easy to upgrade the kit!!! AAA++++

Feature:
Nothing special here, but i love chromed hardware. if you specialize in any specific style, get new pickups that fit that style, But if you love variety they're Great.

Quality:
I've had mine for only 1 year but no problems. It does always feel like a quality piece of work. No loose parts or blemishes whatsoever. more dependable than Chevy claims their trucks are. Gibson-like quality.

Value:
Yes, definetly, it can do good in making sounds you wuold need 3 or 4 other guitars to.

Desirability:
One kick @$$ feature is the thin Strat-like body which is light and balanced, whereas the Gibson Les Paul is balanced, but it is thick and heavy. Best part, you can feel like Slash without months of overtime and donating blood or taking out a second mortgage.

Sound:
It is an amazing sounding guitar for its price range, good still if the price is not considered. 3 way pickup selector for a wide range of sounds.

Support:
I have had absolutley no problems with this guitar, so i cant really answer this.

Overall:
I will probably keep mine for a long time, maybe some upgrades. if i had to get a new guitar, it would probably be this one, probably in a different color.

Feature:
Love the double coil pickups. They deliver amazing sound. Light guitar, Only thing missing is two tone and volume controls. But for $170, this guitar is amazing as far as features.

Quality:
The only problem is the strings. They are too light, at least for what I play. Overall, though, the quality is amazing for $170. I would highly recommend this guitar for beginners. It is so easy and its a Les Paul. The quality or this guitar is amazing, except for the strings

Value:
Any Les Paul for $170 is awesome, but when you can get the sounds, quality, and ease of use this guitar, you cant beat it. If I had to, Id pay more for it, no questions asked.

Desirability:
One sexy ass guitar for $170.

Sound:
I play metal like Dragonforce and this guitar gives the sound with right amp, yet it can also give the classic GNR and Aerosmith sounds too. You simply cant beat a Les Paul, no matter what type.

Ease of Use:
So easy to get the right sounds. Im only a beginner playing for like a month and I can get the sounds of GNR, Aerosmith, and Dragonforce, without problems or confusion. This guitar is so easy to use.

Support:
Havent had to contact anyone yet. Gotta love that part.

Overall:
I am probably going to upgrade to a Custom Les Paul, but I will own this guitar forever, even if it breaks. I love this thing. Get it if your a beginner. Simply that, nothing else.

Feature:
Hey you get what you pay for and for this kinda coin you cant go wrong. Maybe stronger machine heads but there easily replaced.

Quality:
It feels rock solid,the truss rod was out a little and the inotation but easily fixed. Im left handed and its a struggle to find a guitar thats finished this good and sounds so rich

Value:
Its fully sick. Sounds like a much more expensive unit.

Desirability:
It feels sexy,looks sexy is sexy . Period

Sound:
This guitar sounds awesome! Im running it thru a zoom and a orange amp.it really sounds deadly. If your a beginner this will be the only axe youll ever need.a great second guitar to play around with if your a bit more advanced.nice one epiphone

Ease of Use:
It sounds awesome. Youll pay twice as much easily to find tones this good. I cant ever see myself getting rid of this guitar.

Support:
I haven had a problem with it as yet.its worthy of a pic up upgrade in future. Maybe the neck could be a little stronger but hey its a bolt on

Overall:
Yeah i wouldn think twice about replacing this guitar if anything happened to it. No brainer really. Best features+light weight and tone . . Worst feature? My mates complain its left handed lol . They all wanna play it

I purchased this guitar a couple of weeks ago. For the price, you just can't go wrong. I've had several Fender Stratocasters and Telecasters (low and high end) and this guitar literally blows them all away. What impressed me the most was the high quality workmanship. The guitar feels solid when you pick it up. The hardware is nicely chromed and the Cherry Sunburst finish is superb!!! There's not a flaw on it. The body is solid mahogany because of the cherry sunburst finish, not laminated (I guess they don't produce too many of the Cherry Sunburst). The neck is outstanding. It's a low profile neck with a lot of meat on it. The neck was adjusted perfectly from the factory. And, it stays in tune! It has medium nickle silver frets and are polished nicely. The frets are true and even. The pickups are 490's and have a lot of bite to them. The neck pickup truly gives you that classic Les Paul sound and the bridge pickup is bright and clean. All Epiphone guitars are set up in their Nashville factory and it was near perfect. This guitar is extremely quiet, even on the drive channel. I play through a Peavey Bandit 112, and this guitar screams. I believe it has better sound than some high end instruments out there. Incidentally, the grounding on this guitar is outstanding and the electronics are excellent. For the money, this instrument is a great bargain without having to spend a lot of money for a guitar that sounds good. I've been playing since 1962 and this is the best sounding guitar I've ever had. I recommend buying this instrument for its value, outstandiing workmanship and Superior sound.
