Epiphone Les Paul Standard Reviews  5 / 5 based on 64 reviews Just fine. As I said, see my review of the wrong-handed model- they are the same, otherwise. [read more on Audiofanzine] Steve_Boudreaux rated this unit on 2011-08-02. This has to be the best guitar you can buy for the money. I would recommend this guitar for anyone. Why spend $1200 for a gibson when you can get the same quality for $400? [read more on Audiofanzine] Shawn rated this unit on 2006-09-08. I'd say if you really want a les paul and you dont have a spare $1000. get this guitar because it kicks ass, but you need new pick ups , the stock ones are lame. especially on rythm . But yeha ! [read more on Audiofanzine] Andy D. rated this unit on 2005-10-29. This guitar overall, is a great deal. A REAL Les Paul (Remember, Les Paul is scripted on the headstock) for a price that everyone can afford. I know a lot of people complain about the weight, but its really oblivious to me. I think its because I play bass guitar in a band and I'm used to having a 10-pound bass hanging on my shoulder all the tim... [read more on Audiofanzine] Robbie C. rated this unit on 2005-01-07. Seriously this is one of the best guitar you can buy with a small budget. You will maybe have to change the pickups if you want a better sound. That's a beautiful guitar, very similar to Gibson.

Rock musician? stop deliberating, reguardless of style youll like it (unless your a pretentious gibson only player.that means YOU DANNY CANNON! And even they wouldnt notice the difference if the manufacturers name wasnt printed- stylishly- across the headstock. buy the feckin geetar, play it, go to the pub. SORTED,.....now i must piss, goodbye [read more on Audiofanzine] CONNOLLY two-arms rated this unit on 2004-12-05. Overall, i love this guitar, im planning on buying either a gibson les paul studio or standard (nothing like the "real" thing). Even though im about to casually cast it aside, it has been there for most of my great moments in my band, and i will always be grateful to epiphone for making such a price friendly guitar that sounds so great.

If you want Les Paul qauality, looks, and wont mind forking over some extra cash, than this guitar is for YOU! In all my guitar is worth about $900. If you arent crazy bout Pauls but are considering this gtr i wounldnt reccomend this to you. go buy some fancy Jackson or Fender! However if you DO...

They can be inconsistent so I suggest trying one out or purchasing from a place with a photo of the actual guitar itself instead of a stock photo.This is highly recommended as something to invest in. [read more on Audiofanzine] Cory Curtis rated this unit on 2004-07-20. Overall a great guitar with a great sound and a great price that is almost as good as a gibson. I highly recomend purcahsing this because it looks great sounds great and just wont let you down. [read more on Audiofanzine] Kevin Israel rated this unit on 2004-07-10. This is an excellent guitar. I've played many Gibson Standards and they sound just the same as the Epiphone models. The only reason to get a Gibson LP is just to have it for the name. If anything were to happen to this guitar I would replace it without hesitation. [read more on Audiofanzine] Sam Hall rated this unit on 2004-07-01. a great guitar. a bit overpriced, but i got mine for $350 so i can't complain. great for 20 minute solos ;) [read more on Audiofanzine] 80\'s rock rulez rated this unit on 2004-06-05. I recommend this guitar to anyone who plays hard rock like ac/dc led zeppelin etc.I feel like a rockstar with this guitar and if you buy it you will too.

I own five Epiphones, ( a 2001 reissue '58 Korina Explorer, a '92 SG-400, A 2003 Les Paul {Transparent Amber} and a '99 Viola Bass. All are great guitars, and good enough to play anywhere in my opinion. [read more on Audiofanzine] EDDY JAMES rated this unit on 2004-04-09. The Epiphone LP is great. Cosmetically it is jaw droppingly beautifull. Value wise it is definately a valuable investment in the never ending search for perfect tone.

[read more on Audiofanzine] Eric guitarist of Last Chance rated this unit on 2004-03-09. This guitar was pretty good for its price. It would be a solid intermediate guitar. If you want true Gibson Les Paul quality, though, save up for the Gibson. The construction on the Epiphone was decent, though not as thorough as the Gibson. But if you're on a budget, or if you need a second guitar, this is a good bet. [read more on Audiofanzine] Ellen rated this unit on 2004-03-04. This and Gibson are a blatant waste of money unless you get a really good custom shop Gibby. If you just have to have a name brand guitar, go with what most of the pros go with... a fender strat. It's more versatile, cheaper, and better made. Also, if you've already bought one of these, don't try to set it up by just adjusting the thumb wheel...

[read more on Audiofanzine] smithy rated this unit on 2004-02-03. Epiphone is every bit as good as a Gibson. The guy at the store said the only differences between the Epiphone and the gibson is the pickups,the inlays in the fret board(Gibson uses mother of pearl)and the parts for Epiphone are manufactured in Korea but set up in the US. The pickups give great sound and you can't tell the difference on the inl... [read more on Audiofanzine] Ben Crouch rated this unit on 2004-01-27.

If you are in love wiht the les paul model, but dont have 2-3 grand to spend, then getting an epiphone will suit you just fine. Very well made, very beautiful guitar. I have a honeburst finish and the flames are huge. Overall an excellent buy. [read more on Audiofanzine] Epiphone Les Paul Standard rated this unit on 2004-01-22. If anyone wants a new guitar get this, there superb, there also good guitars for either rock or blues, mostly a blues guitar.

[read more on Audiofanzine] James Ocean rated this unit on 2003-12-09. This guitar is absolutely brilliant.Just to let you know, no one should expect the taste of a wine with the price of a beer! Of course it has adjustments and upgrades needed to be done to it but I can go along with the upgrades with my eyes closed on this guitar, whereas your hands would be tied with a Gibson. For people who say there is no diff... [read more on Audiofanzine] Cagatay rated this unit on 2003-12-03. I don't think much of Epiphone's SG and Les Paul lines; I think their archtop series (the Riviera and the Dot are especially sweet) tends to be superior. Still, it *is* a Les Paul, and if you don't like dealing with the feedback associated with semi-acoustics then this is one way to get a Les Paul for a reasonable price. [read more on Audiofanzine] Derek Mok rated this unit on 2003-11-17. This guitar is great. It beats any strat Ive ever played for comfort, it beats any electric ive ever used for tone. It just blew me away. [read more on Audiofanzine] Mason rated this unit on 2003-08-18. A beautiful, well playing and sweet sounding production guitar. Much more guitar than you pay for.

This is an unbelievably great guitar for the price, I played my first gig with this guitar and will probably play my last with it too. I only wonder if I lucked out tremendously, if the wood is from some increadibly healthy, tall tree and the guys doing the set-up were in a really great state-of-mind the day this one went through.

It's a fucken fine looking guitar, well duh, it's a les paul. instead of spending 1500 on a gibson, you can spend 1/4 that price on an epiphone. the pickup really need to be changed if you want good sound. other then that it's worth it. i would recommend ...

Since I've played for several years on a very good guitar (Ibanez Artist with stock Dimarzio Pups), I may be a bit demanding. With everything I've changed now, it's an excellent guitar, yet I've spent more than 900$ to make it so. Nevertheless, for ... [read more on Audiofanzine] VFace rated this unit on 2002-12-03.

a Gibson Les Paul as long as this is around.
This is, after all a REAL Les Paul (with his

As I become a better guitar player, and at the same time more knowledgable about guitars in general, I am more and more pleased with my choice. Obviously there are better guitars out there, but for roughly $500.00, I don't believe there's one that is better than the Epiphone Les Paul Standard.

The guitar now sounds fantastic thanks to a very good repair person at Mars. He realigned the bridges and pickups and did the repairs talked about above. [read more on Audiofanzine] vvutever rated this unit on 2001-12-21. All in all it's a good guitar, I'm glad I bought it, once I get the new pickups I would be obliged to challenge a gibson standard. I think it's worth the money I paid. It works very well on my cybertwin, which is not a big deal, but i have an extremely crappy leem amp and the guitar makes it a little less crappy i think.
