Epiphone Les Paul Studio Electric Guitar > Reviews

Advantages: great sound
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 ...

Advantages: mahogany neck and volume knob for each pickup
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 ... Read review

Advantages: Value for Money, Built Well
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. ... Read review

Advantages: Sturdy, looks great, sounds amazing
Disadvantages: stigma of being epiphone and not gibson

...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, ...

Advantages: good build quality, great sound, nice look
Disadvantages: was not the right shape of neck of playing syle for me

...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 ...

Advantages: Fabulous clear sound great for all types of playing
Disadvantages: a bit heavy :-(

First of all i would like to say that this guitar is the bees knees! The shape is good and fits comfortable to your body but does dig in sometimes, there are four knobs which control various aspects of the tone and volume which makes it really easy to get the sound you are looking for, the fretboard has 22 frets making it possible to play screaming high solos or those dark mellow notes that make your bowels rumble. The pickups are brilliant and responsive ... Read review
