  • After a proper set-up 5 stars Damn nice guitar
Color: Vintage Sunburst
I am editing my previous review on this little guitar after taking the time to properly set it up, dial it in and play it for a while. I edited yet again as someone didn't appreciate my "gloating" over other guitars I own. Sorry to offend YOU. I made a knee jerk review (again) right after I got this. But in all fairness I received my Gibson Les Paul on the same day, buying IT from my local music store and professionally set up, ready to go. I was comparing apples and oranges, so to speak. But now, even after comparing them to each other, they really aren't that far apart. The Gibson is the best guitar I've ever owned and made my previous comparison based on it. But this little baby is now my second favorite. My other review was NOT FAIR!!!!!! I paid a lot more for the Gibson and 149 bucks for this Epiphone. Dollar for dollar this little Ephiphone is a steal!!!! WOW!!! I must honestly admit, the edge goes to my Gibson, but not by as much as you'd think. This little Epiphone is an outstanding guitar, regardless of price. If I were to play them each blindfolded I would never guess one was $149 guitar, ever! The tone of the Epiphone is much like the Gibson Les Paul. It's easy to play, comfortable and has a sweet sound. I can either rock out with it or mellow out and play the blues or classic rock. To be honest, I will probably play this Epiphone a LOT more than the Gibson. After all, if I ding this one up I haven't broke the bank. I think I'll tend to use this one a lot more than the other. I am very happy with this Epiphone Les Paul and will proudly play and OWN it. I am amazed they can make this thing for the money they charge. I may purchase another one and put it away as I'm sure the price won't stay this low. PLUS, I'll get another one in a different color!! You can never have too many guitars.. I am going to an a pickguard to this one. The finish on it is outstanding and I'd like to keep it that way. If I were thinking of learning to play the guitar, this one is a no-brainer....BUY IT!!! If you're an established player looking for a really nice practice guitar, I'd buy this one is a heartbeat. I was shocked at how sweet it sounds, how good it looks, how comfortable and light it is and how well it plays. Sure it was way out of tune and required a few height adjustments but now it is FANTASTIC. New rule for me, no writing reviews until I own the product for at least one week!!!!! ... show more

  • 4th the sunburst was flawless and absolutey beautiful, smooth and shiny
Color: Vintage Sunburst
ok 1st, it was shipped and received on time, it was in double boxes, the inside guitar box had extra packing, outside box was secure and sufficient. 2nd the guitar was packed and totally covered well. 3rd it had epiphone owners manual, a neck wrench, extra info and an epiphone guitar case/window/bumper sticker, all in a big zip lock bag. 4th the sunburst was flawless and absolutey beautiful, smooth and shiny. 5th the neck and bridge is set well from factory, am sure it will be tweaked after a few hours, the neck is bolted well and frets are right, the tuners work well and are easy to handle, the strings are medium good quality 6th the pickups are fantastic, the toggle switch is heavy and easy located, volume and tone knobs are speed knobs easy located, the cable input is heavy and cable is tight, strap nuts are good quality and secure, 7th and best part, it sounds fantastic on all pickup selections, it is very easy to play, All said this is a fantastic guitar, the price is great, play ability is great, The Epiphone Special 11 LE is the biggest bang for the buck you will ever get, my qualifications to evaluate is ive been songwriting performing various genres of music for 45 years, ive owned high end guitars and different types of equipment, and played venues large and small, and toured. Finally, why do I promote this guitar so highly, For the love of music, in the hope that some child will be interested and some parent wont be duped into buying expensive things that may or may not be as well built as this guitar, it can make a difference if a person holds interest, and perhaps an adult can continue in their own efforts and enjoy better, this is a simple and great guitar, thank you for your time to read this, and please enjoy the music you make with this fantastic guitar. ... show more

  • Price is great.
Color: Heritage Cherry Sunburst
Guitar had a couple of wood dings I had to fix. However the guitar plays great. Changed the strings, and set the height. Note the tuners are not top quality and I will be replacing them.

  • Great buy
Color: Heritage Cherry Sunburst
Sounds great, has sustain that lasts for days, just like any good Les Paul guitar. Action is fairly low like I like it. While some have complained about quality control issues with the Epiphone, I did not experience any. There are no sharp frets. The strap buttons are tight. The heritage cherry sunburst finish is nice and I prefer the polyurethane to nitrocellulose of the Gibson. My only complaint is the tuners. The guitar has to be retuned frequently. Will be upgrading these soon with some Grovers. ... show more
