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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stop Reading and Buy This Guitar, August 21, 2011

By 

Mr. Strat Cat - See all my reviews

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

Let me start off by saying, I have been playing for 4-5 years, self taught, and I consider myself an intermediate-advanced player. I play blues, metal, classic rock, as well as hard rock (Black Stone Cherry, etc.) I own a very beginner amp because I am so intelligent that I spent all my money on the guitars and very little on an amp- probably going to get a Line 6 or something.

I bought this guitar for the same price at Ken Stanton Music (great service, by the way). I could not be more pleased. I believe that the Greek Muses dropped this guitar from the heavens, and placed it in that store for me to pick up and play. It shreds like a monster, yet croons beautifully- try playing Santana on this puppy. You'll be needing tissues. It works with all styles.
Also, don't worry about damaging this thing. I whacked it real hard on accident and was afraid to look. Not a scratch.

So let's go through the pro's and cons:

Pros:
Plays like a dream
Durable
Versatile
Beautiful

Cons:
It's awful hard to fit a wedding ring on her.

Wait, are you still reading? Well, stop it. And buy this axe.

This is my son's 2nd guitar, moving up from a basic model I got him a year ago. He chose this model because he wanted a Les Paul model. As soon as it arrived he was really impressed with its sound and quality. The product finish looks and feels of very high quality. We think this is a great choice for beginners. Recommend it 100%.

I purchased this guitar for my husband. He is self-taught on an acoustic guitar and wanted to try out an electric model. This has been the best gift ever. He has improved his playing and really enjoys what the guitar has to offer. The sound is great, it looks like a more expensive model than it is. I would highly recommend this guitar.
