Build quality is excellent. I got the pearl white and it's almost three dimensional looking. White binding is done perfectly. Something I'm not used to on an Epiphone. The neck is a nice C shape a little chunkier than a 60s profile but fast and comfortable. It's slightly narrowed at the nut and has a great feeling when barring chords or grabbing open chords.. Now the pups.. I have a Gibson traditional pro with classic 57 and 57+ pups. These alnico classic pros are just about the same sounding pickups, no need to swap them!! Great sounding comfortable les paul that won't break your back!!

This is a light and easy playing guitar with fantastic sound and features. Epiphone is making excellent guitars and one does not have to spend thousands to get a great sounding guitar with quality workmanship.

I bought my Epiphone Les Paul Muse during my search for a lighter Les Paul to play. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. It is a wonderful instrument. It's quality fit and finish is pleasurable to look at, The frets are all accurate and the neck is comfortable. I play it every day.

Great guitar. Plays great. Threw a het set in it. Tucked the battery away neatly. Now it screams. The radio blue is no where near as bright as the pics. Other than that. It's a keeper

This guitar's been a bit of a journey for me.The first one I got, the pickup ring was broken (apparently in transport,) with what looked like sawdust all over the body. Still liked the feel of it, other than the A string having multiple dead spots. With obvious shipping issues, I took advantage of zZounds' great customer service to exchange for another white Muse. The second one arrived with a broken high E string (which, hey, strings break, no sweat,) that same "sawdust" all over, a glob of black finish like a finish run where the headstock blends into the neck, scratches on the back and what looks like areas of clear finish between the binding and the painted white. Plus what I suspect is a miscut belly cut - as it looks like it bulges out around the edge of the pickup selector switch cavity, which the other did not.Yes, it's "only" a $500 guitar, but this is $100 guitar finish quality and shouldn't have gotten past QA. I'm still likely keeping it as I like the feel and weight and don't want to go through another exchange (as the color's now out of stock and I don't really like the others,) but it's very disappointing.

Kinda bought this on a whim but glad I did. I have not been a fan of Epiphone products over the last few years as the quality of years past seemed to have gone to way side but after watching a few YouTube video reviews I purchased the cheapest Epiphone you can buy;,the Melody Maker which I was really happy with so I gave them another chance. It seems the problems of a few years ago have been addressed.The Muse is exactly what I was looking for. I bought the Pearl White Metallic and it looks great. This is the first guitar I’ve bought in a long time that needs absolutely nothing out of the box except tuned. The Grover Tuners are killer. I always let guitars I purchase online sit in box for a day or two just to let it acclimate, especially during the winter. I highly recommend everyone do this and you will not have a lot of problems you see people complaining about. The pickups are incredible for the price this guitar cost. They really sound great with the coil splitting and phase switch. Instead of rambling on I’ll just say this, if you are looking for a Les Paul that sounds great for a great price buy this one. You will definitely not regret it.

I was about to buy a Gibson Studio but looked through the Les Paul section again and the pull switch phaser caught my attention so I saved a grand and went the Muse. I got the white and it looks great but wished I’d of went with black but oh well. Surprisingly it came with a really good set up out of the box. I just had to tweak the G string but that is pretty much needed after a good set up after a few runs. Highly recommend this guitar. I stayed away from Epiphone guitars for years as the quality was just not on par with price but things have apparently changed as this guitar sounds like a Gibson.
