Its really a no-brainier. I ordered the guitar on Saturday and it arrived Tuesday.However, The looks and amazing shipping service are only a small portion. It seems as If I will have to take it to a shop and get the frets filed down some. Mine also had one.
This guitar is pretty cool. Even paying 25-30 bucks to get the frets filed will still keep me way under the price range of a Gibson.So far, even with the fret buzz, the sound is very ballsy and has the Gibson sound. Other than that the guitar is an amazing buy and so far no one has experienced any problems that cannot be fixed quite easily. The finish is absolutely beautiful and It really has the feel of a real Les Paul.
No matter what I do I can not eliminate "fret buzz". Could be better but Its still very nice.Bottom line is this is your guitar if you love the feel of the Gibson Les Paul body style but don't want to put out $3000. Shipping was amazing. I have been doing some reading of others reveiws and it seems as if a few people have encountered small problems with their Eipihone Les Paul models.
Now while I can't say that this is just as good as a Gibson its close enough. Sound For a guitar of this price the pickups are great. I ordered it on Sunday night arrived Wednesday playable right out of the box. I got the ebony with chrome hardware the picture does not do this guitar justice.
My only gripe so far is it goes out of tune with the original strings. On a clean channel the neck/rhythm pickup provides a nice thick rich warm bluesy tone with sustain that seems to last forever. When mixed with my Big Muff Pi & Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion pedals (both are a great buy) it provides deep smooth rhythms and ear scorching leads. So I swapped them out for a new set haven't had a problem since.Overall If your looking for a cheap alternative to a $2000-3000 Gibson Les Paul without sacrificing sound or durability this is by far your best bet. Durability The guitar it self is very well made and can take quite a beating. Bought this guitar from American Musical Supply for $319.99 (with free shipping) and for the price it is not bad at all.
While the bridge/treble pickup provides a bright perfect tone. If something ever happened to it without a thought I'd replace it in a second. LooksIts truly beautiful not as detailed as Gibson but who cares. I swear it looks three times as good as it does in the picture.
It has great sound and sustain and as someone said in one review for another guitar, I have to look down to make sure it is me playing it because it sounds so good. I got mine for around $400 and it is sweet. I have played a lot of real les pauls and other guitars and this is the best. I LOVE THIS GUITAR. I would definately buy this guitar if I were you. This guitar is the best guitar ever.
It is a great investment. I played it for 12 hours straight after I got it, plus a ton during the rest of the week and it hardly went out of tune. It is a sweet guitar. But I got mine from a store, so I think you should go and try some out. IT ROCKS AND IS THE BEST. It feels, soundS and looks like a real les paul.
I even have my own little Squire Strat which is a good guitar, but I think this is the best guitar on earth.
the action is great it can be a bit muddy but all in all a clean sound with a clasic look i would have to say you should def buy one not bad def for the price.
Excelente sonido, no pesa casi nada, esteticamente perfecta., no dudaria en comprarme otro modelo de epiphone, solo fue un poco dificil el envio hasta mi pais pero 100% recomendada.
