| Subject: | Another Les Paul For My Collection!!! |
| Quality:
| I bought mine yesterday in the Alpine White finish, which is a Limited Edition model and it seems to be well made, although I had to do a slight intonation and pickup and string height adjustment in order to get it to my liking. |
| Reliability:
| I just got it yesterday but it seems like it should last me a long time. I tend to baby all of my equipment so reliability shouldn't be a problem at all. |
| Overall:
| All in all, it's a very well made product that I can use as a backup guitar on stage or as a practice guitar or both. It's a fun instrument to fool around with. |
| Playability and Feel:
| It definately has that classic Les Paul weight along with that chunky neck, but the action is pretty fast for a Les Paul. |
| Tone:
| The pickups are pretty bright, so using the tone controls alleviates that problem along with a noise gate so you won't get any feedback or hum. This guitar can produce some serious sustain which I love. |
| Finish:
| I love the Alpine White finish, although I do miss the classic block inlays that the older Epi Les Paul Studios used to have. |
| Action:
| The action was a tad high for my tastes, along with the intonation being off kilter a bit. I do my own setups so fixing it wasn't a problem at all. |

| Quality:
| Top notch finish. You can get better, but will have to pay $2K to get it. |
| Reliability:
| The most reliable guitars I own |
| Overall:
| Got the new Arctic blue; not as dark as shown on the web sites, more of a medium blue. Darker would have been better. |
| Playability and Feel:
| Heavy, just like the standard, but same feel. |
| Tone:
| Fret edges are better than past Epi LP's, so it looks like Epi has taken care of this problem. |
| Finish:
| Nice paint job, but again, arctic blue is too light |
| Action:
| Quick tune. One day stretch and fast fret and good to go. |
