I will keep this guitar for a few years If it was stolen I would buy another more expensive Epiphone Les apul they are a very good guitar

Sound
I use this guitar through a Harely Benton 40 W amp (model is made for Thomann.de in China). I plan to put a heavier gauge of strings maybe 10's the set up was excellent but the strings seem to be 9's very light. Comparres well to my Gretscg pro Jet but my Telecaster & Strat are better built

Features
Very utilaterian I like this three pick up selections. Tuners are grover and keep the guitar in tune. I was surpeised that it came with such good tuners.

Ease of Use
The clean sound is very jazzy, nice and bright with the neck pick up, middle position very reponsive and the bridge pick up nice and trebly. All and all very good clean sound. On gain this guitar is very nice and heavy on sound, the sustain is excellent, if you use the neck pup you get a lovely sweet blues feel. Middle excelent you can roll off the tone for either pup and experiment, you get some good sounds. Bridge pick up is very responsive to gain you get this really amazing screaming beast lead lines. I'm very impressed with the pup's very easy to get the sounds that I want

Quality
There is a belmish on the nect seems that aroung the 7th fret the nect was slightly thicker. Not very noticable does not effect playing but questionable quality control. Besides… read more this I would say for the money what do you expect I wanted to see what a Les Paul was like I would like to buy a more expensive one some day Which I will, it will be another epiphone

Value
Excellent value for the buc compares very well to other product, very fast neck
