NEW REVIEW - Epiphone always delivers.
I can never say enough good things about Epiphone. This is my second Les Paul model (the first being a standard in the early 90's) and I am never dissapointed. This ltd edition silverburst custom Les Paul is solid, handsome, and reliable. And the price is affordable.

What a great value!
This guitar is the third guitar I have owned. Previously I had a Fender Strat and a Epiphone SG. This guitar is just great. The quality is astounding for the price and the overall feel of the les pauls makes it worth every penny. I would say that this Guitar is great for Intermediate players like myself. Advanced players, with cash would probably go get the Gibson Silverburst. But for this price and its quality, even if you are a pro this is just one hell of a deal. 5 stars what a beautiful guitar.

Epiphone Hits a Homer on this One!
I previously aquired this guitar used. It was a rare find;perfect condition and priced excellently. My Epi LP Custom is actually the previous incarnation of this edition. It's the same guitar, but it's got a natural vintage sunburst finish rather than the silver finish, and the headstock has the 'les paul model' logo rather than the diamond on this one. As far as playability, you got the same features as a Gibson Les Paul. It's got a thin neck, rigid body. My only complaint is that the neck is finished so well, that it doesn't play as fast as a worn neck or a strat neck. But the action is great. Though I'm no metalist, I sometimes down-tune a step for clean songs, and the guitar still maintains powerful and comfortable acion. Sound-wise, everything you'd want from an LP; thick Jimmy Page treble tones and good bues rythym tones. The humbuckers are crafted well, but sometimes you can hear them rattle when you play unplugged, but who cares? By the way, the Epi LP isn't just a Gibson clone. Epi LP's have a bassier range, making them great rythym guitars. Thus, an Epi is a different guitar. It has nice deep clean tones, but it also has some nice crunchy treble features. It's no telecaster, but it's versatile enouph to imitate one in a band situation.
Also, this guitar won't get out of tune for nothing. I've been in Greece for the past summer and when I got back, it was still in tune! Good stock tuners!
Overall, this is not just a 'pretty' guitar, it's a healthy alternative to Gibson. Buy it know. I've been playing guitar for about a year, and this is a great quality guitar for the intermiediate player. It's a unique guitar with character. Thanks Epi!

Great
Very good sound thru a good amp. Even sounds good thru a crap amp. Built very well for the price that it is. My buddy has a Gibson Les Paul Studio and he wants to trade me all the time. Not happening cuz this guitar blows it out of the water. If your gonna change the pickups in it, I would suggest some Seymour Duncans. Cheaper than Gibson and sounds better. You Tool fans should know that. Oh change the strings too cuz the shipped ones are junk.

A "No-Brainer" Deal
Just the looks, alone, draw you in to this magnificent piece. How it plays is only an after thought. But let me tell ya, this axe is nasty! And, at a fraction of the price of a "Gibson", it's an absolute no-brainer. My package arrived yesterday and, right out of the box, I was awe-struck by the quality finish and the deep shine on the body... perfectly contrasted by the chrome hardware and pearl inlays. But when I tuned the strings and played it, I couldn't believe how sweet this guitar felt in my hands. The neck action was perfect right out of the box. I played it clean through my 60 watt Crate and the response and sustain was incredible! The thing practically plays itself! I've been playing only for a few years but there's just no way I'd drop $3400.00 on a Gibson VS. $500.00 on this Epi, where the difference in price does not even come close to quantifying the difference in quality. If not for the name on the headstock, I'd challenge anyone to reveal the difference between the two. I've played Gibson's LP just to humor myself at my local music supply store because there's no way I could afford one. Well... Problem solved, people! If you're on the fence about this one, it will not disappoint. For the price, how can you not pull the trigger if you've been lusting after it like I have?

Love It
Being a huge Tool fan this guitar is perfect for me, not only is it sleek, sounds amazing, and a fraction of the coast of the Gibson version its an all around great guitar. I've noticed some minor imperfections along the fretboard but that doesnt effect the over all sound of the guitar.... pictures truley dont show you the beauty of this axe.... true the silverburst on the epi is different from the gibson but i personaly think this one looks better... if your looking for a great guitar that all your buddys dont have pick it up

Gibson sound at an Epiphone price!!
Like alot of others, I've always wanted to own a Gibson Les Paul, but unfortunately I never won the lottery so that I could afford one. I saw this beauty while perusing through my local Guitar Center and decided to give it a little test run, though I was not expecting to be blown away, I have to say that I was quite impressed. The craftmanship on this particular model is pretty good, especially for the price, and the playability is decent as well, so I bought it! While it's definately no Gibson, I still get the rich tones I'm used to hearing from those expensive Les Pauls and after a few upgrades I think it will be able to hold it's own weight, which is good because this sucker is heavy! I definately recommend this to those yearning to have a GLS but can't afford it.

Quality Piece
For the price, this axe is a steal. Out of the box this thing shines. I was skeptical at first because I didn't know how it would measure up to my Gibson SG Special. I was pretty impressed when I plugged it in. The tones weren't as soft as the SG's humbuckers, but it was clean, especially out of my Marshall MG50DFX. After I trashed those stock strings and put on some Black Beauties, it was more impressive. Already owning the SG and a Fender HSS, I've always wanted a Les Paul and this is very satisfying. With the custom silverburst top, Les Paul Custom logo on the head, and the Les Paul Custom trademark diamond logo on the head it just looks like a winner

MONEY THAT'S VERY WELL SPENT
I've been playing for 30 years now and the only issues that I have about this guitar is the fact I only picked up one of them and the other is the same issue for me with the Gibson Les Paul. The cut away in the body isn't quite deep enough. It makes me roll my hand a little to get my pinky on the end of the neck. Other than that, I am very happy with this guitar! I put in at least three hours a day and this is the one I'm always grabing. I had to put strap locks on it and that was all.
