Great guitar! great sound! great EVERYTHING!
Quality:
Great quality. only had it for about 2 weeks. thing seems very dependable!
Sound:
There is so many different tones and sounds you can get out of this guitar, from crunch, classic les paul sounds straight to acoustic sounds with just a twist of a knob.
Reliability:
I've only had it for about 2 weeks now, but it seems to be holding up just fine. nothing has gone wrong at all.
Overall:
Overall this guitar kicks some serious a$$!
Playability and Feel:
for being a les paul, you would think it would be heavy and chunky just like all the others. this is the lightest one i have every played! the nanomag tech they put into it makes it feel like an acoustic/electric. at first i thought i wouldnt like the neck because its fatter thank the strats im used to playing. but i got used to it really fast and probably will never go back to strats ever again.
Tone:
This is what i love about this guitar. you can get bright and snappy, right down to dark and smooth tones. the pickups are hot as hell when playing on the high gain, yet pull it down and add in some nanomag and the thing gets so mellow. Great sound!
Finish:
The finish on this guitar is AMAZING! i sometimes just sit down after playing and stare at it with aww at its beauty. I got the faded sun burst and the thing looks great!
Action:
I had to lower the action just a smidgen, and tune it, but other than that it was awesome out of the box.

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.
Skill Level:
Intermediate

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

David from Artesia, NM
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.
Skill Level:

Quality:
No this came to me playing very bad buzzing on every string then the sound was fadding in and out.
Reliability:
Maybe i got a bad one but i wont risk it went to the store and tryed 3 more 2 played just like the one i got and the 3rd was playable but sounded like a toy.
Overall:
the ioo and the studio sounded and played much better i have been playing for 30 years plus now and this guitar was the worst i have ever played.
Playability and Feel:
very poor thats all i can say what a sad state of mind to put out a guitar that is just junk.
Tone:
the sound is just garbage all tricks and no play.
Finish:
this is wher it was ok but the finish is also fake just a cover over wood.
