Epiphone Review: Les Paul Standard

Epiphone Electric Guitars



History:

Purchase: I purchased this guitar from www.musiciansfriend.com for $549, because I fell in love with the Les Paul model after playing a friend's.

What I Like About This Epiphone Les Paul Standard: The best things about the guitar are the pickups. The thick, rich sound is beautiful. The neck is pretty quick, and u get clear notes all the way to the 22nd fret.

What I Do NOT Like About The Epiphone Les Paul Standard: It's a bit heavy; hard on the shoulders, but even so well worth it. I really can't think of much else; maybe if Epiphone could put the same tuners on the guitar as the Gibson version (even though the strings have kept in tune for long periods of time, I have heard some stories about them being less reliable than the Gibson tuners).

Epiphone Les Paul Standard Quality Rating: Tops in quality. If you're going to spend a decent amount of money on a guitar, make sure you get what you want. The guitar definitely matches many other guitars of higher prices in construction quality. Les Pauls are rough, but just dont scratch the finish.



Review Summary: It's a kickass guitar. Pick one up today!
