Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

All the features of a Les Paul but in a more affordable bolt-neck version. It features a slightly slimmer body for added comfort and hot open-coil Alnico-V Humbucking pickups on a carved top with individual pickup volume and tone controls.

Les Paul Features in an Affordable Package.

Alnico V humbuckers and the industry-standard Tune-O-Matic bridge.

Rosewood fretboard with dot inlays.

Angled Headstock
Unlike cheaper designs, all Epiphones feature a 14-degree headstock that gives you more pressure at the nut and so you get more sustain with less tuning hang-ups caused by "string-tree" gadgets.

Double-Waxed Pickups
Epiphone utilizes a double vacuum waxing process that ensures optimum performance. The pickup is first placed in the specialized wax vacuuming system before the cover is put in place to ensure that the wax fully penetrates to the very center of the pickup and solidifies all parts. After the cover is placed on, it is again given a second vacuum wax bath until the unit is completely saturated with wax.

Output Jack
To increase reliability and ensure consistent performance, Epiphone's proprietary output jacks feature an improved contact shape and heavy-duty spring steel.

Toggle Switches
All Epiphones feature our all-metal, USA designed switches for reliable contact and longer life.

Tunomatic Bridge
Fully adjustable, the tunomatic remains a classic after over 50 years. Unlike guitars fitted with tremolos, there are no tuning or re-stringing difficulties. Plus, tone and sustain are improved because all string vibrations are transferred directly to the guitar.

Potentiometers
Epiphone is passionate about performance. That's why their instruments use one-inch diameter potentiometers for better "throw," longer life and reliable service.

Quick-Connectors
For unequalled reliability as well as ease of service, Epiphone wiring harnesses feature quick-connectors.

This review is from: Epiphone LP-100 Les Paul Electric Guitar, Heritage Cherryburst (Electronics)

ive always wanted to buy a lespaul they have the best tone and playability of any guitar design but didnt want to spend 4000 dollars doing so when i read that lespaul himself left gibson for epiphone years ago i decided to buy 1 and everybody was right the quality is unreal i take mine to the guitar store and close my eyes and cant tell a diffrence between the 2 epiphone lespaul or gibson and many blues players actually prefer epiphone guitars they are highly respected world wide the only diffrence is sometimes the pearl inlays on the neck wear eventually but thats no biggy for a true guitarist and it hasnt happened on mine and i play 6 hours a day if u want a lespaul and dont want to pay 4000 buy this for 300 bucks youre getting a worldclass les paul authorized guitar with a lifetime warranty and if i were you id buy the heritage cherry sunburst its got a gorgeous finish

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome bargain Les Paul!, March 3, 2008

OK, not set neck (hence low low price) and not a Gibson (who cares?), but a terrific sounding low cost, beautiful, high quality musical instrument with the look and feel of a true Les Paul. Sure, after ya hit the big time, go buy a Gibson, but this axe looks just as fine and sounds almost as good- that is awesome! Bang for the buck can not be beat!

If you want a decent electric guitar, specially if you want a LP, and dont have the kind of money for a Standard or +, this is the one for you.
Sounds decent and looks good. Fast shipping.
Problems: Came with E string broken, had to replace it. The strings seem to be a little bit too low, causes buzz when strummed (string(s) hit fret(s)). Adjustable.
