No flaws on the epi les paul. Great price and financing.

I love this guitar! I bought my first one back in March, but it developed a large crack in the neck at the headstock. So, I brought it in to my local GC and they ordered me a brand new replacement. It just came in on Tuesday, had one minor issue, but that got fixed in a jiffy. She plays beautifully, looks amazing, and feels great.

Always wanted a Les Paul and finally tried the epiphone based on strong reviews. This guitar plays like a much more expensive instrument. Beautiful, well made, plays very well and the sustain is incredible.

I got this guitar a few months ago and have been playing it pretty consistently ever since. I am happy with the variety of tones that I can get from it and I personally like the way it plays and feels, especially with the slimmer neck compared to the 50s model. At this point I would say it's a five star guitar, but I received it in what I might call a four star condition. Initially, it had the classic Les Paul tuning stability issues which I was able to work out with some graphite on the nut and just using a bit of the old strings to work back and forth in the nut to smooth it out. Now I can bend for hours and it stays perfectly in tune. My particular guitar also needed some truss rod and bridge adjustments but that was easy enough. Yours may come set up better, or who knows, maybe not. Any new guitar will probably need adjustment coming out of the box so I wouldn't be concerned about that, just know that at least some stores don't meticulously set it up before it goes on the display wall.

I remember Epiphone LPs from the mid 2000's, and they were so-so. Played many and never found one that hit the same spot as a Gibson model. Fast forward 20 years, and these new Inspired by Gibson models are insanely good. I failed a blind test between this & its Gibson counterpart and ended up buying this one. No regrets, plays like an absolute beauty.

This sucker is nothing but incredible. If you ever knew the old Epiphone this one is not even close. I'd rather this one a few steps above. Yeah of course it's going to be called mahogany but it's Sapele with Mahogany laminate strips. But I think it still looks cool on the back. But the sound that comes out of this thing is top shelf if you like the sound of the old paf type of Gibson pickup. I've seen it up against an original 1960 Gibson Les Paul and it held up against it. But if you are looking of that 1960 Gibson Les Paul sound at a much cheaper price, then look no further.
