« Dragonfire Les Paul »

I got this guitar for Christmas, and it cost about $250.00.

I love the vintage cherry burst finish. Also, the pickups are very crisp and the action was set low, so the guitar plays like soft butter (smooth). The sustain goes on for days when set up right, and the neck is nice and fast.

I don't like the switch (it clicks when switching between pickups). Also, the finish around the neck is a little sloppy, but the guitar is great otherwise. Also, the pickups are good, but not great. I migh replace them later, but they sound fine for my budget right now.

This this is built like a hammer and can take a beating from one and keep on going. I love the fat humbucker sound, and the entire guitar is stable and smooth. However, the mahogany body is killer on the shoulder, but that is the way Pauls are.

I love this guitar, and is as good as any Epiphone (in fact, they come out of the same factory). Dragonfire here in Klamath Falls, Oregon will be where I buy my guitars for some time now. Check out their Strats, Teles, and PRS guitars too. I've played them all, and all are AWESOME. The strats and teles are made from Fender parts, too!
