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

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.

I picked this up as my 3th guitar in a year, looking for the right sound. I bought a Squier Telecaster at first and liked the sound, then bought an acoustic 2nd hand before buying my cherry sunburst LP 100 and found the sound I was looking for. New buyers should be warned this has a bolt on neck like a fender, and thus isn't a "true" les paul style guitar, which has a set neck. If you're looking for "cred" among people who really like guitars, Epiphone offers a set neck les paul for about $150 more. What this guitar gives you for the lower price is 100% of the look and feel of a set neck guitar, and 90% of the sound. This guitar sounds great plugged in to my $100 amp I got a year ago, with about half the buzz/noise of my squier Tele.

If you are looking for a solid guitar to have some fun with this is it. Not to mention it is a beutiful guitar, it plays very well. It is great for people like myself who are not beginners but far away from professional. I doubt i'll ever buy anything else.

This guitar is really great for beginners, great for intermidiates and still good for more advanced pdlayers!
I was looking to buy my second guitar at guitar center, and the guy recommended this one for rock, and for our budget . (it was on sale for about 250)
its great!
the price is really nice. its a really les paul, and epiphone.
it has the les paul shape , pickguard, everything. the back of the neck is smooth. my friend has a gibson les paul and says she likes this because the neck is smooth, she also said the the gibson wasn't as smooth as this.
i have had this for quite a while and it still is going good.
it sounds amazing. the guitar is really realiable. it is the best for the price.
i reccomend this for any guitar player. no matter what skill.

very nice guitar, the 5th guitar in my collection. i love this guitar. if your looking for your first guitar, this would be the first one to go for.

I think it is a great guitar for what it is aimed for - for advanced beginners and intermediate players. The sound is nice, sustain is fine, and the two pickups provide room for tonal variation. Of course it is not a gibson, but a very lovable and well built guitar for those who do not appear regularly on stage. If you are a professional musician, yes, save more money. But for a hobbyist, it is a great buy.

Contrary to the many negative reviews against this guitar (most of which written by snobs), the LP-100 is a fantastic alternative for those who have a limited budget. The action is easy, its not too heavy, plus you still get that quality sound you have come to expect from Epiphone products. Ready for your first guitar? Pass up all the Wa***rt specials, and get this high quality instrument... you'll be glad you did.

I got this for my son and it looks wonderful. It is for Christmas but I don't know how to play it so all I can say is it's a beautiful piece! Thanks for the great service in getting it to me!I can't wait to give it to him. I know he is excited about it.
