Legendary trademark flamed top at a pleasing price.

Crafted with a solid mahogany body and flamed maple veneer over carved top, set mahogany neck with a slim-tapered neck profile, 22-fret rosewood fingerboard, cream body and fingerboard binding, and chrome hardware. The LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece add more sustain and make string changing easier. Limited lifetime warranty.

Its a looker, not a player

The guitar looks pretty sweet with its colrful finishes and classy binding, but it just doesnt sound that good. Ive noticed that most epiphones have the same alnico classic pickups. They get th job done, but theyre just really muddy and bland. On clean it doesnt have any pop to it, and distortion is just too bassy. All the epiphone les pauls (including customs) are built the same way. They only change the finsihes and sometimes the pickups (to alnico classisc plus pickups which are still muddy, and just have a little more crunch). Like when you buy a les paul custom classic, its the same as this les paul standard but with those small changes. This means that all across the board, no matter which epi les paul you buy, you will get the same quality. These guitars are built in China in basically an assembly line. They put them together quickly and ship them here. the limited editions are set up (not built) in america, and are still low quality. Input jacks fall out and the nut is always too big ( because theyre all the same guitar). It looks like a real gibson les paul, but it justs lets you down when you play it. Save some more money and get the real thing. Even if it takes you a while. I did, and i could not be happier.

i got this guitar a couple days ago..i had my eye on it for a while..its really beautiful..no picture will do it justice..you have to see every curve and every detail in person!sounds really good clean,you can get some vintage-type sounds.switching to the neck pick-up,you can get good thick clear notes,good for jazz,blues and alot of other styles.middle pick-up would kinda be like crunchy in a way.and bridge pick-up would be bright and dirty.its good for metal when distorted,middle is good for those vintage type sounds,and neck isnt that good sounding distorted, but its ok.the only flaw i had was with one of the tone knobs being to close to the body and rubbing against the finish..but i raised it a little it by sliding my pick under it.hope this helps.just 3 words.BUY THIS GUITAR!

Epi Les Paul Standard

I chose this guitar as my combined Christmas and Birthday present and I think I chose right. I just cant put it down! The feel of the neck is really solid and I like it better than my Strat. The sound it gives with the stock pickus is great. The finish on it is just flawless. Nothing besides changing the strings needs to be done for this guitar to sound great.

this Epi vs. my Goldtop

I have owned many les pauls and strats over my 35 year career, and I bought this Epi les paul so I wouldn't have to take my Gibson les paul goldtop to gigs where it possibly could be damaged.That said, The Epiphone not only looks better, but in my opinion, sounds better. My goldtop has burstbucker pickups that sounded too harsh and this Epi's pup's sound just right.All in all this a great guitar for the price and Gibson has really lost their minds with their prices. I am lucky enough to own both but this Epi outshines my Gibson.Might end up selling the goldtop just to buy a new car.ha-ha.

Great Guitar!!!

This Epi LP is a very good guitar. I have owned a few Epiphones over the years and I really do think that the quality has gotten much better over the past few years. This LP is solid, out of the box ready to roll. Usually a new guitar needs a lot of set up work but I was surprised how nice this LP was out of the box. Pick-ups are good, not great... but good. Action and intonation were pretty good. Finish is great and these guitars really do live up to the Les Paul name. IMHO, these are the best guitar buy in this price range hands down!! Buy one, you will not regret it.
