MGR/Anonymous « Epiphone Les Paul Special »
Published on 04/16/04 at 15:00I bought this in a local music store in Norway. I was really looking for the LP 100, but I settled for this one as the LP 100 wasn't available for delivery.
It's very easy to play, and the sound is ok.
The guitar is very poorly built. You can really feel that this is a cheap guitar. It's difficult to tune, and comes completely out of tune again after just a couple of minutes. I can't really use this guitar at all, it's completely useless. Even though it's cheap, most people buy a guitar to play it, and this one is just impossible to generate music with. I've never heard anything like it, it's becomes way out of tune.
The body seems quite solid, but the neck seems really cheap. It's really, really bad workmanship! The microphones are quite alright, but when I turn the tone button, it makes a lot of white noise.
I regret buying this guitar so much that I returned it, and ordered a LP 100 instead. I know Epiphone makes good guitars, but this model should never have been released. I've never played anything so bad. I'm not afraid to buy the Epiphone LP 100 though, and will post a review on that one to compare when I get it in about a months time.
