| Subject: | Nice Sounding Les Paul |
| Quality:
| Quality is nice and if you are looking for a Les Paul without breaking your bank, i think this guitar is a winner. |
| Sound:
| Mine came needing an intonation adjustment on G. Overall tone is okay. But I intend to change pick-up to Burstbucker in 6 months time. |
| Reliability:
| Been with me for only a week so nothing much to say in this department |
| Overall:
| Nicely made, finish is flawless. Sounds like a Les Paul PLUS. I mean there is the Nanomag that gives the PLUS. |
| Playability and Feel:
| Not too heavy as it's chambered. The first time i played when i got it home was like 4 hours!!! |
| Tone:
| Pick-ups sound fine for now but would change it to a Burstbucker after 6 months. |
| Finish:
| This department is all thumbs up for me. The best guitar finish i have seen. The Maple top looks stunning. I got the sunburst but i think the black one would look much better. Dont care so much with the looks anyway as a guitar is meant to be played, so sound coming out of it is more important to me. I am not a fan of gold finish but got no choice although would have preferred a nicker finish if there is one. |
| Action:
| A bit high for my taste but will have to give it a few weeks before i will adjust everything. I can do the whole setup anyway so no problem about that. |

| of course i own it. just arrived last week!! |

| Subject: | Nice guitar |
| Quality:
| Very well made Epi. This Epi. cost a little more than the Standards and the Specials but is well worth the extra $$$. is gonna be around longer than me. |
| Sound:
| This guitar sounds really nice. The stock pups sound good but I switched them out for a set of Seymour Duncan Dave Mustaine Live Wires. I really love the tones I get now. They blend really well with the Nanomag. As far as the Nanomag by itself, I wasn't too impressed with the acoustic sound. I mainly use it now to give me different tones with the Live Wires. |
| Reliability:
| I've had this guitar for over a year and have not had any problems with it. Built like an LP. |
| Overall:
| This guitar is light because of it's chambered body. Looks like it will last for a long time. Very happy with this Epi. |
| Playability and Feel:
| The neck is nice and thin. quick action to play anything from blues, heavy metal, and just open chords. The controls are smooth. |
| Tone:
| With the stock pups, the guitar was thick to me. Lowering the tone control gave me just the right amount of brighter tones. The pups weren't as hot as I expected, but still sound nice. |
| Finish:
| Nothing wrong with the finish. My midnight finish looks awesome. |
| Action:
| I thought the action was a little high but LPs are usually a little high to get that nice open tone. I had mine professionally set up to be lower and I really love the lower action. |
