    Advantages Advantages Appearance, Durability, Sound, Well Priced

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Lead Jack, Finish

    The Les Paul Model Studio Epiphone guitar is a sight to behold, bloody gorgeous. What's great about its appearance is that it suits various kinds of genres, like punk rock, heavy metal, alternative and even classical. Not only is the LP Epiphone one of the prettiest guitars, it is also one of the best sounding, especially in its budget like price between £200 - £300. Plugged or clean, it hits the spot with rich tones and incredible rhythmic sounds. Mine is the one you see in the photograph, black with a dark brown mahogany fretboard with 22 frets, 2 alnico classic humbucker pickups and a ... more

    Advantages Advantages Sweet clasic sound of truck Rock & Roll

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Quite heavy

    I would have to say haveing not owned but played all of them the Studio would have to be the best Epiphone Les Paul i have played. Which is uppose is why i bought it. At £260 reduced from £350 it is a very nice second or third guitar, depending on your finacial posision. I think out of all the mainsteam guitars on the market has the largest could variety i have ever seen. At least 15 Different shades of sunburst, not to mension the different shades of hardware. It gives a perfect soud unique to the Gibson and Epiphone ranges. I would be carful not to be confused as a first time buyer for ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good, playable and easy to use standing or sitting.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages What disadvantages?

    The Epiphone studio guitar that I own is the "limited edition, Gothic ,studio ,les paul" and therefore unsurprisingly this is the guitar I am reviewing. The Epiphone Gothic les paul is not to distant to it's Gibson cousin, it contains the same electronics and additional metal-wear (machine heads, dial heads etc.) the only major difference is that the Gibson is handmade and so costs a fortune! The Epiphone is a body heavy guitar but is also still very light when compared to something like a B.C. Rich Warlock. The Gothic les paul maintains the good tone and over all sound you would expect from ... more

    Advantages Advantages great sound

    Disadvantages Disadvantages need a decent amp to go with it

    Well what a guitar this has to be my favourite guitar that i own. It looks great, sounds great and lets just face it its great. On stage it has never let me down it never sounds bad though this may because of my marshall amp but the two go together nicely. You may say that its the cheap version of the Gibson you would be right but it uses basicly all the same things its just the gibsons are hand made. The clean sound on this guitar is great sounds good if you want to do some old tunes like jonny b good or the classic summer of 69 obviously you can do them distorted but i thought that they ... more

    Advantages Advantages mahogany neck and volume knob for each pickup

    Disadvantages Disadvantages a bit heavy

    This guitar is amazing and it's the first thing I want to say. I bought my instrument about three months ago and this guitar is really worth money I paid for it. Guitar has 2 humbuckers, 22 frets, 3-way switch and a tone and volume knob for each pickup. I usually play rock, blues, punk and this guitar is awesome at every style. From classic Led Zeppelin to punk'rock. In the first big concert in my school I was very impressed! Guitar has really great sound using Boss distortion pedal for some heavy rock and also great just playing clean. I think I will play this guitar for all my life, because ... more

    4 Stars Epiphone Les Paul Studio, a little too evil? 15/11/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Build quality, Bridge pickup, Hardware

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Weight, Finish

    Firstly i'd like to say that for me this guitar looks rather drab and boring, as it is so plain and all in black. There is no contrast in colour and doesn't really stand out. But with that now said, i will go onto the other aspects. It has the standard les paul fittings, which are sturdy and reliable, and the tuners that hold their tuning very well. The pickups are high output and sound very heavy, which is ideal for hard rock and metal. The neck pickup sounds a bit too heavy and doesn't sound great with only light distortion but sound good clean. The guitar is quite heavy in weight and can ... more

    Advantages Advantages warm tone

    Disadvantages Disadvantages pickup need to be change

    Everything you would expect of a Les Paul- Neck, Body, pups, tones, vols and serious attitude. Mine is a 1997 Korean made Epi with cherry burst and mahogany back/neck. Done the best thing you can do and replaced the feeble epiphone pups with a pair of original 1982 stamped patent number cream Gibson 'buckers/surrounds I got off Fleabay and the tuners with Gibsons Deluxe 58 reissues. Sounds like everything you could ever want it to be. Beautiful. I tend to play guitars to death, so I'm pretty sure this will stand the test of time. Body seems prone to the odd ding, or two, but it gives the thing ... more

    Advantages Advantages Value for Money, Built Well

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not as good sound quality as bigger budget models, Plain Design, Frets can be hard to navigate

    Lets get some things straight. This is a solid guitar. For the money its built very well and plays sweetly. This is a not quite cheap as chips but not too out of budget range guitar so it can't really be expected to play like some of the higher end models. Nevertheless its still a decent bit of kit. The design though, falls short for me however. The plain black I think suits a more metal orientated (shred) type guitar but not really the Les Paul. Regardless of the colour scheme, if you are becoming an intermediate player of the guitar, and want to spend about £220 on a new axe suitable for ... more

    Advantages Advantages good build quality, great sound, nice look

    Disadvantages Disadvantages was not the right shape of neck of playing syle for me

    im going to be perfectly honest in my review i didnt like it. having played an epiphone SG for the past 10 years it just didnt feel right as soon as i got to the tenth fret. dont get me wrong it is a very well made piece of kit with a great sound however the thickness of the neck combined with the restrictions due to the body made it not the right choice for me. however the sound from the instrument was of a different league to any instrument within its price range. when i went to sell it there was no doubt as to why it went so quicky(even though i sold it for more than i bought it) overall: a ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Sturdy, looks great, sounds amazing

    Disadvantages Disadvantages stigma of being epiphone and not gibson

    In my opinion this is a brilliant sturdy guitar, that is built to the highest quality of epiphone standards being its top of the range. Having played the cheapest gibson les paul and most expensive epiphone les paul custom i would settle for the epiphone every time, which is why i own one of those over the cheapest gibson les paul. The quality of build, i feel, is very superior to the quality of all other epiphone electric guitars and the binding and inlay is just beautiful. The sound of this guitar is fantastic, far superior to the sound of my fender strat, peavey whitesnake signature and ESP ... more
