« Epiphone Les Paul Standard »

I bought my epi at TK music in north wales. I went into the shop desperately wanting an ibanez just because of the name but, after playing a few low end range ibanez i was put off. this drew my attention to the les paul. it was new in at £360. This was more money than i had. the looks attracted me. thats all i can say. But after playing it i couldnt resist.

i love the tone. its warm and so nice. from sweeps to shred sound great and the neck feel is perfect. i think the instrument can be exploited to its full capability with the 4 tone and volume controls and overall it looks stunning in honey sunburst.

i think the pickups may sound abit cheapy compared to other guitars in the same price range. but the tone from the mahogany body makes up.
a big problem is the neck.. if you sweep and want to play jason beckers - serrena. u will find it hard at the high frets because of the neck gets in the way.
i dont like the green tuning keys.. to me they look ugly.
no real complaints though

overall it is a amazing price for the unit and i recommend it over a real gibson!


great value for money.. superb tone.it jus owns so much.
