Bought it based on looks alone. I didn't realize it was a new model. I've had a couple sc p90 epi specials and that was gonna be my next purchase until I saw this. I didn't have any humbucker guitars and have been needing one. It arrived and I immediately top wrapped it with 8's. Almost too slinky at first but I quickly got used to it. Set up was unplayable out of the box. Bridge and tailpiece were way too high but nothing to complain about because I was gonna top wrap it anyways. Frets are gonna need a little attention eventually. I'll wait until the wood aclimates to southern Arizonas lack of humidity all the way so I don't have to do it twice. It is already my #1 after just playing it for a few minutes.( Over a Duojet w/p90's, a Mim Strat and a Mim Tele). I'm always very impressed with Epiphones. Have had some stolen and foolishly sold some. Eventually I'll put in lollar imperials but it really doesn't need them. I also considered a prs se McCarty single cut but I just can't handle the birds. I see no reason to spend anymore on anything else as good as this is.

I decided to add this guitar to my collection and rolled the dice! It came up snake eyes! In all of my years, this is the first guitar that I have ever sent back for a refund! ZZOUNDS was prompt in crediting my account which I appreciated! I have bought many guitars, amps and Helix from zZOUNDS in the past.The reasons why I sent back the guitar:1. HORRIBLE NECK DIVE when standing!!!! Very distracting trying to keep the guitar in position while playing! Why fight to play a guitar?!2. Frets are very thin!! Not jumbo as advertised! Hard to bend strings and be expressive!3. Very uncomfortable to play sitting or standing due to the boxy, non-ergonomic shape! No belly cut or rounded edges!4. No coil split/coil tap for the humbuckers!5. Tone was lackluster and very thin at best!Don’t believe all of the glowing reviews you that read! BUYER BEWARE of the Gibson Inspired Les Paul Double Cut guitar!
