  • This guitar is highly playable.
Color: Ebony
The Epiphone LP arrived and turned out to be the same as described by previously posted positive reviews. An excellent instrument. I was careful to inspect it first because if it was defective I was going to just repack it and ship it back. One of the things that surprised me was how well set up this guitar was. The neck was tensioned up with just a tiny bow in it, the way I like it, and the bridge was near perfect. I checked the adjustments with a Snark tuner to see if the 12th fret was really each string's octave, and did random checks on the rest of the fingerboard to make sure the frets were pitch true. The strings might be just the tiniest bit higher than I personally like, but having said that, it seems to make bends a little easier to grab and hold. It's still easy to bar so I may just leave them there. The body's a lighter than some other LPs. This might make the neck feel a skosh heavier if you play standing up. Depends. My personal preference is to have the neck slightly elevated because it makes it easier for me to reach the bass strings, but most people don't seem to care. For me, it doesn't matter since I don't play in a band any more and do all my playing seated nowadays. I bought this model because I have another one with P90 pups and wanted one with humbuckers. The P90s have a terrific sound on single notes. To my ear, they don't have as good of note separation as humbuckers in chords. I like the P90s for their unique sound, though, and the other guitar is still a keeper. This newest one also has terrific tone. The bridge pickup has a distinctive treble for leads, and the neck pickup has a really mellow sound that seems to go with chords better. The bridge pup was setup higher than the neck pup, I guess to make the volume even, because both pups are equal. I got the ebony model and it's a plain Jane. The finish isn't glossy, and you can see the grain in the body. I don't pay much attention to external cosmetics, but it turns out that I like this look. Glossy finishes show smears and wear more, so this ebony, semi rough finish is kind of nice in that respect. Besides, she might not look like much, but she sure can sing. I love this model but if your tastes go to something a little more flashy you may want to go with the sunburst one. As far as the tuning pegs go, they look like the same ones as on the Epiphone LP with P90s. I was going to replace those with Dan Armstongs but when I took them off the guitar, I found that the dress cover was removable. Underneath that, I discover that the pegs I was having issues with are secured with a screw that was too loose. I tightened those and haven't had tuning problems since. Fret board/strings were a little sticky feeling so I used a soft cloth and Pledge and now it feels just fine. I'll keep this one the way it is for awhile to see if it has tuning peg issues. I'll adjust those if necessary. After I change the strings to a set I usually play, I'll recheck the setup and adjust if it's necessary. Overall, this guitar is comfortable and a joy to play, has an accurate fretboard and great tone. ... show more

  • Great guitar for beginners
Color: Vintage Sunburst
This is the guitar that I learned on, and the Guitar I will use to teach my children. Upon arrival, there was no damage, and no discernable defects. It's simple enough to start playing out of the box with a quick tune and sounds fine. I wouldn't have ever noticed it's "shortcomings" if I hadn't upgraded to a much higher quality guitar. This is the guitar I will recommend for anyone trying to feel out whether or not they want to become a guitarist. ... show more

  • Great Gift
Color: Vintage Sunburst
This was a gift... Good value. It is a fun instrument- They are using a small portable amp that has an earphone plug in- (highly recommend the investment) 😀

  • Very happy with this guitar
Color: Ebony
I'm a new guitarist and I bought this guitar about 6 months ago. It's my first electric and it's been great. Nice tone, the fret spacing works well for me, and I love the look of it. It's been a great first guitar and friends who have played a long time have enjoyed playing it as well. Really happy with it. ... show more

  • Amazing sound & Price!!
Color: Vintage Sunburst
This guitar is a total steal in my opinion. The pictures don't do it justice. When we pull the guitar out its protective covering, we were blown away by its beautiful look. The sound is perfect, the feel is a dream, overall this is a beautifully made Epiphone. I can't wait to hear the music that will be made with it. ... show more

  • Glad I finally decided on this one…
Color: Ebony
Exactly what I wanted. Very simple and straight forward. Nice clean frets and dressed extremely well. I'm still using the factory strings. Tuners are fine and it's staying in tune. Sounds great. Humbuckers have great clean tone. Vol, tone & switch, seem very smooth and no noticeable scratchiness or static. Guitar is really great looking, well balanced and to sum it up, I'm totally happy with it! ... show more
