Action
How was the action out of the box?
Action right out of the box was perfect for me, but that doesn't say much for the other individuals out there.
Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
I consider this to be a very well made product that is very much dependable.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
Unfortunately, I couldn't tell you how it stood up over time because mine was stolen from me.
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
This is the closest that you can get to a Gibson without having to fork out the extra cash.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
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
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
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
How did the stain or paint job look?
The finish was perfect and everything that I wanted in a guitar.

Quality is good. The tuners were good quality - not the plastic garbage that I read about online.

Epi LP Standard

Very well made, just as well as the Gibsons I have played. People hate on this brand way too much.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
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
Your general opinion of this product.
Great guitar, but the price could be a little lower. Gibson/ Epiphone should consider that.

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
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
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
How did the stain or paint job look?
Awesome! though I wish that Epiphone would stain the backs instead of paint them, like Gibson.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
Needed small adjustment, but I'm a little anal about my guitars. This particular guitar would have been stage ready with just a tuning.
