By	al ferrante jr. (northern nj. usa) - See all my reviews

i got this from musicians friend company, for the price this guitar is perfect for practiceing. also very well made. the pickups are as strong as a old stock real les paul. its bolt on but has alot of sustain. also great tone. the body is heavy but not too heavy. nice paint job, also well made neck. it is a very solid guitar. your no going to find abetter guitar for the price. its that well made. it also stays in tune and no fret buzz. for the price its a winner. also great for practicing, no complaints. it holds its own. a better guitar than some costing much more. in fact this guitar could sell in the 600 dollar range, its that well made. also with sound,that is awesome,very resonant,great sustain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely worth the $$$, October 26, 2009

Let's face it---instruments are expensive! An American made Les Paul is not for the budget conscious amateur!
This Indonesian made Epiphone holds it's own and the price is about as reasonable as you are going to get for a decent electric guitar.

One problem: Others have stated that it stays in tune. I have not had such luck. My G string comes out of tune regularly. Other than that---a great guitar. Perhaps some new strings will help, I don't know.
