solid great deal for the price
Color: Ebony
Yeah, so I had a Schecter C-6, this guitar sounds and feels much better than it at almost half the price. I got the ebony one, it's beautiful. nice and solid. good size, the pickups are much better than my Schecter too, they actually 'pick up' the higher strings. I'm enjoying this guitar. thx. Oh also, I saw so many people receiving this guitar with a broken neck, was kinda nervous about that, however mine came in perfect condition. ... show more

Best Guitar For The Price
Color: Vintage Sunburst
I am a longtime acoustic guitar player, and I've wanted to play electric for a while now, but I knew I needed to make an decent investment to help motivate me to play. Plus I've never been a big fan of buying a cheap item to start, so i can buy a more expensive one in a year when I out grow it. So when I saw that I could get a Les Paul- albeit it a Epiphone and not a Gibson-for this price I was thrilled. Its worth noting that there is another Epiphone Les Paul that is cheaper. Epiphone LP Special II Les Paul Electric Guitar, Vintage Sunburst However you will not that there are fewer controls on the guitar. Meaning you loose out on the ability to individually control the tone of the pickups. In my opinion the extra hundred dollars for this guitar is more than worth it. It is worth noting that I purchased this guitar through amazon from American Musical Supply, it did not come with a cable or anything extra, just a guitar in a box. One of the things I didn't know when I bought it, is that even though its made in China-some of them come from Indonesia as I understand it, but mine was made in china so I can't speak to that-it was inspected before packing, to make sure that there was no physical damage to the guitar, that all the hardware worked, and that it maintained its intonations. So in the box you will receive a checklist that someone had to check off to make sure you receive a quality guitar. Its a great starter guitar, in part because of its slimmer body, making it both lighter and a littler easier to play. This is important when you've got a guitar strapped to your shoulder for an hour or more during practice, and gig times. It also is easy to play with the strings that come on it. Which I think are lighter weight then i am used to, but allow you to bend strings easier, which is great because that's an important technique to master-but please, don't over use it. Also don't ever let anyone give you any grief for buying a bolt neck guitar. Yes they are cheaper, but the Tune-o-matic bridge makes up for any difference in the quality of sound you would get. thanks to that handy little bridge the intonation can be adjusted to be perfect all the way up the neck. The guitar sounds even prettier than it looks-which is very pretty-holds a tune, and has given me nothing to complain about. All in all, I would buy this guitar again, and it will take something pretty amazing for me to replace it as my primary electric. Or enough money to afford a Gibson model. ... show more

It’s a fine guitar
I have been playing this guitar for about a month now. Out of the box it was playable neck was straight and the action was set nicely, and it sounds like a Les Paul . Overall I would say this is a nice starter guitar. My only complaint is the tuners, they are very mushy I ordered locking tuners to replace the factory ones. I’m getting back into playing after about 15 years, so this is not my first guitar. I would definitely recommend over a 100$ guitar, but I’m not sure how it compares to a Leo Jamyz or whatever that brand of is. ... show more

The Epiphone LP 100 is the best instrument I could buy for under $300
Color: Vintage Sunburst
I got into guitar playing a while ago, my father makes guitars for a living and they were always coming and going in our house during my childhood. I never really knew names or brands, to me it was just... guitar. So a couple of months ago I started researching the Gibson family company. I wanted a Les Paul ssoooooo baaaaaddd!!!!! but every one I saw was like $2,000. Then I learned of Epiphone and though that it could be a good chance for me to get a Les Paul. So I went on amazon, and the first result I got was about $150. I thought it was kinda crappy, but good enough. then I found the next level up for the LP special. the LP 100. I made a deal with my parents, paid for half of it, and bought it for Christmas. As I am only 13, This was a huge thing for me even thought I also have a Squire Stratocaster and an Ibanez RX series. but still, LES PAUL!!! So that's only the affordability of it. Now we get onto the actual Guitar itself. This guitar has all the features of a Vintage Sunburst Gibson Les Paul. (4 knobs, 22 frets, raised pick guard, two 700T duel Humbucker pickups, a 3 position selecter switch for the pickups on the top left corner, etc.) the only feature it doesn't have is the Gibson Les Paul has diamond type designs in the shape of trapezoids on the fretboard, and the LP 100 only has dots. If you want the trapezoids you can buy the Les Paul custom, or the Les Paul standard for a little more money. but it makes no difference if you're into it for the sound because the sound on this instrument is incredible. you can play literally anything. Any style. This baby can shred like a MONSTER!! yet weep like an angel. Play anything on it. no matter what style you're into, you can use this instrument. You can play Jazz, Blues, Pop, Hard rock, Soft rock, Classic rock, Metal, Death-metal, Punk, Grunge, Alternative, Goth, Scream-o, Van Halen, Satriani, Santana, etc. If you are a good player, yet inexperienced and ignorant of brands and sounds and styles, this guitar is for you. you can play with the knobs and get different sound. I believe that my life was just destined to have this guitar be a huge part of it so I absolutely love it. I played it at a wedding last week, and everyone was in shock. Epiphone is the official guitar of the game Rocksmith which is the fastest free way to learn guitar (minus the cost of the game and console) so if you want this guitar but don't know how to play, I would suggest buying the Rocksmith pack. which consists of the game, cable, guitar, and learners manual. I REALLY REALLY REALLY recommend this guitar for anyone with a budget and a passion. I love it. ... show more

Love It!
Color: Vintage Sunburst
I am self taught and play acoustic mostly, but I've been wanting a good electric guitar for quite a while and couldn't quite justify spending a lot of money. I am also a fan of Epiphone, so when I saw the LP 100 at the 249 price range I decided I had to have it. Straight out of the box I tuned and was playing this guitar within 5 minutes, the sound is awesome. I also purchased some "Elixir Strings Electric Guitar Strings, 6-String, Light NANOWEB Coating" from Amazon as Elixir last a lot longer in my experience and sound great. Heads-up, in my experience most guitars need the strings changing when first purchased, I have 5 guitars, 3 bought online. Although I will be changing the strings today, this guitar rocks with my Fender Mustang I Electric Guitar Amplifier (another great buy from Amazon). I wasn't sure what color finish to get at first and then decided on the sunburst as it matches my Epiphone EJ-200CE Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Shadow Preamp, Vintage Sunburst, great acoustic BTW. The finish is beautiful on both guitars. Back to the LP 100, The set up on arrival appears to be good, but I may tweak this when the new strings are on. If your not sure how to set up a guitar please take it to an expert and have them set it up for you, most Guitar Centers will do this for a small fee. As I have only owned this guitar for 24 hours I will probably come back in a couple of weeks to edit my review. Well that's enough for now, I have some strings to change and some jamming to take care of. Stop reading and BUY, you won't be sorry! ... show more

For 250 bucks, I challange you to find abetter axe.
Color: Ebony
Only had this a couple of days, so still getting acquainted with her. So far I think this will be long love affair, until I can afford a Gibson. I have the ebony, and the finish is beautiful. The sound is wonderful as well. The neck plays like a dream, who cares if it's bolted on? The strings are easy to bar, no fret buzz when open strings are played. The price is right. Time will tell of the longevity factor. Just got the perfect amp, a Fender Mustang I. This amp would make a mere novice into a rock star. Especially when paired with this axe. I can't imagine all the things that the amp does, for 99 bucks. Buy it, you'll love it. Update, had the guitar a few months now, and the input jack just fell into the guitar body. Went to the repair shop to get it fixed, now it doesn't play at all, bummer. Looks like another trip to the repair shop, not really happy with this, plays like a dream when it plays. I hope it's covered by warranty. Again, took it to the repair shop, they put loctite on it. Got home and jammed for 2 hours, went to unplug and the input jack came loose again. I've owned many guitars in my time, from good to cheap, but never had I had any trouble with an input jack, like this. I'm at my wits end, I wonder if all LP 100's have this problem, or did I just get a lemon. Update 10/2012: The problem with the input jack has been fixed for some time now. I would still highly rate this guitar! It cost 5 bucks to fix. The play is still amazing for the price! ROCK ON! ... show more

This guitar is a steal for the price!
Color: Ebony
Buying guitars online is always risky. However, this has to be hands down the best budget friendly electric guitar out of over 30 that I have purchased. When I say budget, I'm talking $400 or less. If you are looking for a great guitar, beginner or intermediate player, I can honestly say straight out of the box, all I did was tune it. Plays beautifully. You will not be disappointed as a beginner, but as an intermediate player you will notice the tuners are average, but they do stay in tune. The fret board is dry, so the frets have very slight sharpness to them on the edges. Nothing some 600-grit sandpaper can't take care of. Surprised that the finish was perfect. And I do mean flawless. Now for the advanced player, down to the nitty gritty picky stuff. Guitar could use locking tuners, a bone nut, and I would definitely change the bridge pickup. The neck pickup was sweet. Although, the bridge pickup was okay, a little upgrade is needed. My opinion. I like something a little hotter. The setup was little high. Easy to adjust. Still no fret buzz. No high or low frets for a bolt-on neck. The neck does feel a little chunky; but it is Les Paul style. And I didn't like the gloss finish on the back of the neck. The volume pots were very easy to move, while the tone pots were a little tighter. Could find no spurring on the bridge piece, and it didn't rattle at all. Like I said, this guitar is a steal for the money. ... show more

Quality guitar at a great price.
Color: Ebony
I have been playing guitar since I was 6 years old (over 3 decades) and I must say this was a very pleasant surprise. I haven't had an electric in years, and didn't have the budget to get a Gibson, so picked up this Epi Les Paul 100 instead, along with a Fender Mustang I Amp. Great combination. This guitar has a very sloid feel, and came set-up perfectly right out of the box. All it needed was tuning. Unlike others, I didn't feel that the strings I got needed to be changed right away, but probably within the first two weeks you will want to change them. Replaced mine with Ernie Ball "Not Even Slinky's" and couldn't be happier with the way this thing plays and sounds. Great sustain, beautiful harmonics, the clean tones are warm, can get nice blues tones out of it, and superb thrash metal too. Very versatile. It does not quiet do country or jazz, but it wasn't really meant to. The action is extremely easy, fret board has a great feel to it, good width on the neck, not too slinder but not too thick. It just feels good in your hands. The finish on this product is very nice. One thing though, the pick guard is kind of a tan / cream off white color, not bright white as pictured, but it still looks great. Also, not mentioned in the description, but this does come with a 12 foot cord, but it's not the best quality. Would recommend picking up a new one when you order. Overall, this is well worth the $500 that they list as the MSRP. At less than half that its a steal. If you are considering this instrument, don't hesitate. ... show more
