Beautiful and amazing.
Quality:
I consider this to be a very well made product that is very much dependable.
Sound:
Has an awesome warm tone.
Reliability:
Unfortunately, I couldn't tell you how it stood up over time because mine was stolen from me.
Overall:
This is the closest that you can get to a Gibson without having to fork out the extra cash.
Playability and Feel:
This guitar feels very balanced and the neck is of great quality. You can really play up and down the neck of this guitar. The controls were a little farther than I wanted them to be while playing, but that is just a minor inconvenience for what you get.
Tone:
The tone on this guitar is very balanced, but you can easily adjust between the guitar and amplifier to quickly get the tone you would like out of it.
Finish:
The finish was perfect and everything that I wanted in a guitar.
Action:
Action right out of the box was perfect for me, but that doesn't say much for the other individuals out there.
Skill Level:
Intermediate
Do you own this product?:
Owned, but unfortunately stolen from me.

Quality:
Very well made, just as well as the Gibsons I have played. People hate on this brand way too much.
Sound:
Tone is great. As flexible as what a Les Paul should be. Have owned a couple Gibsons and feel that this guitar @ 1/5 the price of a Gibson LP standard is fair superior than the price might indicate.
Reliability:
owned this for almost 2 years now, and can honestly say is a trooper. The finish is still in good shape, and the frets have held up tremendously. Pots and Jacks are still great too. Had to replace the toggle, but that happens. Cannot complain one bit.
Overall:
Great guitar, but the price could be a little lower. Gibson/ Epiphone should consider that.
Playability and Feel:
Light in comparison to most older LPs. it's chambered, so it's not as Heavy. The 60's slim taper is really nice. The controls work well, and are still in great condition.
Tone:
Exactly what you would expect from the classic LP pickups. for the most part mellow, but very full bodied. the bridge pickup screams in my guitar and the neck pup is very strong.
Finish:
Awesome! though I wish that Epiphone would stain the backs instead of paint them, like Gibson.
Action:
Needed small adjustment, but I'm a little anal about my guitars. This particular guitar would have been stage ready with just a tuning.

Great Guitar, Huge Sound, Awesome Price
Quality:
I consider this LP to be made extremely well and very dependable. I have no plans of ever retiring this guitar..
Sound:
This guitar sounds huge. It plays extremely well, even without having it professionally set up. Good sustain, great rock tones, and smooth clean tones.
Reliability:
I've had it for 3 years, and it remains my go-to guitar for playing out. Its solid and road tested.
Overall:
I was skeptical of an Epiphone LP versus a Gibson LP, but after playing it right out of the box, my worries went out the door.
Playability and Feel:
The guitar is heavy, there's no denying that. However, the solid body adds to the thick sound, and with a little getting used to, isn't even an issue. The neck is smooth and plays very well. The controls are postioned well for fast adjustments while playing.
Tone:
This guitar sounds amazing, it can go from bright, to smooth and mellow very easily. The humbuckers scream when paired with a well dialed-in distortion. It sounds like a guitar worth three times the price.
Finish:
The finish was smooth and classic, and continues to look high-end after three years of abuse
Action:
The action was good, but could really scream with a pro setup
Skill Level:
Intermediate
