Epiphone Les Paul Ultra Electric GuitarThe Epiphone Les Paul Ultra brings a new twist to a true rock guitar icon. At first glance, it might look the same, but it's not. The Ultra is loaded with hot alnico classic humbuckers. Its mahogany body has strategically placed hollow cavities resulting not only in a lighter guitar (about 5.5 lbs) but also a more acoustic sounding guitar. Additionally, there is a belly-contour on the back of the guitar that allows it to comfortably hug your body. Add to that a slightly narrower nut (42mm as opposed to 43mm) with a very fast, satin finish neck and you've got an Ultra friendly instrument that just feels great!

|  | | Subject: | The best 'Paul' without paying thousands! | | Quality:
| This guitar is extremely well made, everything is order, and it's just like the picture! | | Reliability:
| Well, I just got it a few days ago, so I can't say how reliable it will be, but out of the box, it seems really sturdy. | | Overall:
| Like I said, it looks just like the picture, and, come on, IT'S A LES PAUL! All Paul's, from my experience, are well made and great sounding, except of course the Special II, but c'mon, that's a childs toy. ;] | | Playability and Feel:
| The neck is extremely fast, and the ultra is really lightweight [It feels like only about 5 pounds, very light for a Les Paul]. The controls placing on the guitar is a godsend, because I've had guitars that I couldn't easily reach the controls of, these I can adjust easily while playing! | | Tone:
| A nice, smooth, warm tone, that can be instantly switched to a high treble with the flip of a switch. I need effects pedals to do that on my other guitars! Pickups were good, but I think I might upgrade, but if I had to, staying with the stock pickups wouldn't be much of a problem for me. | | Finish:
| The paintjob was beautiful. It was one of thes guitars that I looked at and thought 'How the heck can they make a guitar look like that?' | | Action:
| It is such a great playing guitar. It has already topped all of my others, and I have Fenders, an Ibanez, a Dean, and even a Paul Reed Smith [which cost MUCH more than this]. | | Skill Level:
