Excellent Guitar

by Terry Hoffman from Kansas
May 29, 2011
Music Background: Active musician
I have owned this guitar for about 2 yrs. and, all I can say is that it is one fine instrument. The finish is beautiful, and the workmanship is to be commended, sound and playability is everything tha... read more [+]t you could ask for.
I own several Fender instruments and, I love them dearly but, when I got my hands on this guitar and, heard the sounds of the humbucker pickups I was extremely pleased with the difference compared to the single coils. I will still play my Fenders and,I will never part with them but, I certainly have found a new second love. Thanks Epiphone for a Great instrument.
The only thing that I did when I received this instrument was to restring it with Dadario 9-42's and set the action lower and, checked the intonation to make sure it was right on and, I have been gigin' perfectly ever since.
The only thing I will mention is that mine came with the white pearl tulip tuners, I'm not sure if they are Grovers but, I have absolutely have NO tuning problems at all.
If you are looking for a Les Paul this instrument is definately worth considering. close [-]

For 1/4 or even less than an equivilant Gibson you just CAN NOT go wrong here. I picked up the blue and I could not believe the quality of the build. Grover tuners, about a 8-9 lb weight, amazing top,... read more [+] straight neck, low action, no buzzing, and the pickups are screamers! I did not find one single issue with this guitar! I also own a Les Paul Studio from Gibson and THAT one has some flaws in the finish!

The Les Pauls Epiphoone have been putting out lately are spectacular. I played a few at a local shop last night and all were beautiful and played/sounded great.

Honestly, comparing my Gibson Les Paul studio to my Epiphone Les Paul Standard I prefer my Epiphone every time. Its heavier, looks nicer and has a bit of a creamier tone. For this money you can not be disappointed. A couple years ago the Epiphones I played were not so hot, but the ones they are putting out now get an A+ from me! close [-]

A Great Investment

First off, pictures do no justice to the transparent blue finish. It easily stands out from the rest. As for playability, it still ranks high for the money. However, I also own a Les Paul Custom, whic... read more [+]h frets and plays much smoother. A quick bridge adjustment took care of the bugs. I also dropped a set of Emg 81/85's to brighten the tone. I personally see no purpose in buying a Gibson. If your willing to tweak a few bugs, it easily compares to guitars three times the price. close [-]
