"THE BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK"
Feature:Two knobs, one each for volume and tone. Who says you need four? Plug it in, mix it up and you're good to go.
Quality:
I've banged my LP Special 2 up on numerous occasions; dropped once (the nut was the casualty), accidentally swung around and hit my bass player's guitar. But not one major damage to the neck, pickups, knobs or tuning heads. Pretty solid if you ask me. My only problem was with the nut, part of it chipped off near the high E string but nothing your local guitar shop (or yourself) can't fix.
Value:
A Les Paul for less than $200. Go get it.
Desirability:
If this was broken or stolen, I'd buy another one in a heartbeat. Although I would consider saving up for a standard or studio LP, this would be my backup guitar.
Sound:
A friend of mine owns an Epi LP 100 and when I plugged it in and compared both guitars' sound I can hardly recognize the difference. Sure, this isnt a Gibson or a full-fledged LP but it has that LP tone that will hold its own against its elder bretheren.
Ease of Use:
Came out of the box almost perfect. Had to slightly adjust the action but other than that, it played flawlessly.
Support:
Haven't contacted Epiphone yet for any servicing on this baby. Hopefully I wouldnt need to.
Overall:
Until I can afford a genuine Gibson LP, this will definitely tide me over until then.

"The great epiphone."
Feature:Mine did include accessories such as a strap,tunner,3 picks,dvd beginner video,gig bag,and studio 10s amp. I think they should have added atleast one extra pair of strings and an instruction beginers book. The strap and gig are definetly useful. The 3 pick-ups are most definetly useful so i can give it the sound i want to have. There are no useful features atall the more the better right. Overall great on the features.
Quality:
I think it is pretty good like the tunning heads are easy to turn which is good to me but to me it seems like it will last only about a year or two. I would bring this on the road with me but be very gentle with it. It is mostly because i've only had it for a month so it is still pretty new that i rate it a 7 when it gets a little older i might rate it higher.
Value:
It is definetly worth its price for all the quality and accessories. Overall very good.
Desirability:
It has a great color with the black sunburst thing going on. The way it looks is part of the reason i bought it.
Sound:
It's sound pretty good mostly with alot of feedback which in some cases i don't like. I just play in my room and it sounds good mixed with my acoustic that i get my friends to play. So yes i guess i think the overall sound is good is gives me mostly what i want to hear. Great produck overall.
Support:
I'm rating it a 5 because i have had no problems with it sofar or had to call the company. The warranty is pretty easy through to get it. Overall pretty good.
Overall:
I think in about 8 months after owning it i would have to supplement it cause i lose my guitar fanzy if i don't try something new every once in a while. That is the only reason i would search for a new product there is nothing wrong with this one. This producted is better than alot of other products i looked at overall. It is a great product.
