Product Description of:

Epiphone Les Paul Ultra Electric Guitar

The 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!

Lock Tone
The Lock Tone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stopbar tailpiece are standard equipment on all Epiphone guitars with a tune-o-matic setup. From their Custom Les Pauls right down to the Special II, Epiphone knows that tuning stability and sustain can make or break a guitar so it’s important to have a dependable bridge you can trust.

Subject:

Immortal!

Quality:

I've had it since it came out! NOTHING can stand in this things way! I've had roadies bump it into crap, been knocked off of amps by drummers and all kinds of crap! Plays perfect! Still my #1 guitar by far!

Sound:

It's a les paul on steroids when it's cranked. Almost if not better than an ESP or Dean ever thought of being. Then again the clean is almost acoustic and great for alternative and grunge. Best giutar for someone who plays alot of styles or may change theirs over time (and guys, WE DO and you know it.)

Reliability:

Nothing has ever went wrong with it and I've put it through h*ll and back.

Overall:

Best guitar out there especially for the money.

Playability and Feel:

Really light due to the chambered body and absolutely SMOOTH neck due to the satin finish! I don't know why anyone would want ANY other finish on the neck of their guitar. Also the neck seems to be thinner than most les pauls so it doesn't feel so much like a baseball bat, but it's thick enough that it doesn't play like a jackson cheap-o (not that the more expensive jacksons aren't awesome!)

Tone:

Dark,deep tone. Pickups were hot right out of the box. I thought I would have to replace them, but no! I thought about EMGs but I love the sound too much to mess with.

Finish:

Just one word. Beautiful!

Action:

Set up perfect for everything I've ever threw at it. Nothing I've played has ever been this close to perfect on every style I've played on it.

Axe kicking AXE

Quality:

This is the best Epi I've ever played or owned, and hangs with my '79 gibson Les Paul. Never had a durability complaint with Epi's only issues were normal wear from get on them hard playing every night.

Sound:

If you work the controls right, spend time on this it pays off, ask any player that you see working his axe right and they'll tell you the same. I,ve milked some sweet sounds from this babe in the first night with it. don't just turn all 4 controls to 10 and expect the holy grail of tone to greet yor ears.

Reliability:

Ive owned gigs and epi's both and I know that this will be a trusty worthy companion for years to come.

Overall:

Having owned, played and professionlay worked on repair set up of numerous guitars for 32 years of my 43 years onearth this guitar rates right up there with the best.

Playability and Feel:

Having played pauls my whole life and working back breaking jobs, the lighter weight is a blessing. I've red of balance issues due to the lighter body, but didn't find it that noticeable as say V or sg. Thank God I dont have to sand the neck to that satin finish feel. My favorite Les Paul neck shape. and the controls are right on, they are even the full size pots, not those cheap one you gotta change out on most foriegn axes.

Tone:

Work the controls and you'll get solid Les Paul tones. from that in your face rock attitude to sweet melt her pants off tones.

Finish:

Pardon the french but f***** excellent dude.

Action:

The guitar was dmn near in tune out of the box. This tells me someone took some time to check it out. What a set up plays like an old friend that knows me. However I will have to make some adjustments when I restring to my prefered heavy strings and full step down tuning, but that goes without saying to any knowledgable player.

Skill Level:

Semi-Pro
