This is the coolest guitar for the money that I have ever seen. My brother buys only "Gibson" so he ended up paying $1700 and $1500 on Les Paul Standards. I buy used "Epiphones" and I have a Custom and a Classic 7 string. I ended up paying about $400 dollars a piece. The difference between the Gibson and Epiphone is so slight that I can't tell the difference in the two when played right after each other.

nice look and feel with a warm sweet sound. Much like the gibson with a lower price.

I've been playing guitar for about 7 years with three different guitars. Yamaha, Fender, and a Carvin. The Epiphone Les Paul custom does sound better than all of them. The looks are amazing. By far the best guitar I've ever played.

I got this guitar for my birthday 3 days ago and all I can say is how amazing it is. It plays like a dream, I love the weight and the hardware and color (I got the alpine white). I have 4 other electrics and 2 Dobro's. 2 of my electrics are Epiphones, all play amazingly and for the price you can't go wrong. The only problem that I have found is that the gold starts to rub of after a while but hasn't happened to my Les Paul yet because its new.The finish is great, the joining is great, the fret finishing is great... its an A+ guitar. the sound and sustain are amazing I was floored when I plugged it in, I play punk mostly and boy this thing deliver, but is also ok for jazz and blues.conclusion: if you got the money sitting around doing nothing and would like a lovely guitar to add to the collection look no further.

When I saw this guitar at my local music store I was amazed. The quality and value are immediately evident. I immediately went to Music123's web page and ordered it for less than half the price the store was asking. It arrived a few short days later and I am in heaven! This is a superb musical instrument. I couldn't be happier and wouldn't think twice about recommending it to my best friend.
