The setup was on point right out of the box, everything was perfect on the guitar, when I held the neck I felt something that shouldn’t be there, unfortunately it was a crack, not one but two starting at the nut and going down the back of the neck. Shipping damage. I knew that zZounds would make it right but I was more bummed out h that this almost perfect guitar was probably one of the better built. Fast forward 3 days later, I sent it back and zZounds almost immediately had a replacement on the way. I was nervous opening this one. My worry soon went away when I held this beauty for the first time. Again a perfectly set up Les Paul, not only is it just ad good as the first one, but better.and absolutely flawless: Epiphone has seriously stepped up quality and quality control. The clear coat on this iced tea finish does not feel like polyurethane, if it is it must be a very thin coat because it has the feel of a Gibson finish. The nitro feel. Might be a combo of the two I’m not sure. The pro buckers were a nice surprise and cherry on top. They’re very close to burst buckers, I’m getting another set of pro buckers for MY explorer. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase. If you are thinking of buying an Epi make sure it’s from the inspired by Gibson line.they are so good
