Epiphone Les Paul Standard

Mine is a 2004 Epi standard, all stock. You all know the features but noone seems to be very critical of them, so i'll just go ahead and do that.
-Flamed top. Very very thick finish, kills dynamics and along with bad pickups ruins any hope of high end sparkle.
-The tuners are grover, and they suck the guitar has never been able to take bends.
-The frets where reasonable for an aisan, mass produced guitar. Had them redone by a *skilled* luthier.
-The controls are great, they do exactly what theyre supposed to.
-The strap buttons where utter shite i've had them repaired 5 times each to date but now the finally seem to hold.

Jimmy Page, Slash, Clapton, Moore and so on and so forth. Those are the names and tones most people think of when seing a Les Paul. Let's just say this guitar doesn't seem to cut that sound. Im using this *thing* with fender tube amps.
The shiny moments with this guitar is def. with the gain half way up. It does seem to need an excesive amount of treble from the amp though. Clean tones forget it useless!
It doesn't seem to take pedals very well. But then again few humbucker guitars do.
An average guitar nothing more.

Cant remember except for the poor frets. I've had this thing for four years.

I'll outlast this thing by decades! I'm not afraid its gonna fall apart. It has on many occasions already!

Never dealt with 'em.

Average guitar, not poor, not great. I comparison to my AM fender tele this thing completely humiliates itself. The pickups are bad beyon belief, the only reason i havent changed them is that I wouldn't be able to justify pouring anymore money into this thing.
To expensive for a starters guitar, buy a squire or something cheaper from Epi. For intermediate players I would recomend saving for a schetcher or a gibson or something like it.
To expensive, to poor and far to dead! This is not just a nightmare story it's the truth.

It's a '99 Standard, bought (gently) used in 2003. Typical thin, fast Epi neck, woods appear to be the correct mahogany/maple combo rather than the alder you sometimes see listed in descriptions for Epi Lesters, although it's a thin maple veneer rather than the two slabs that cap the Gibson models. You know the rest.

Mine is pretty heavily customized, but I HATE when I read a review of a guitar that I'm considering buying stock and all I hear is how the instrument performs with all these aftermarket alterations, so for now I'll stick to how it came.

I run this mostly through a PODxt hooked up to a decent sized power amp and studio monitors. I occasionally use an Ampeg Jet with various pedals, but I'm almost exclusively a hobbyist at this point, so that's rare. I use it for the kinds of things you'd use a Les Paul for, classic rock (Zep, Allmans, Ronson, early Clapton, 60's era Stones), heavier British flavored (flavoured?) blues, and anything that calls for a thick, distorted tone, from your Steve Jones-style power riffing to Joey Santiago-influenced craziness.

It sounded pretty good right from the get-go. Epi pups are not nearly as bad as their reputation; in fact, if you dig a more vintage, alnico type of tone, I think they do that better than those awful ceramic things that come standard on a lot of Gibbys. They'll get you in the ballpark, anyway.

This guitar does, and will always, lack some of the sonic complexity of a full fledged Gibson Lester. The wood makes a big difference. That said, I think it's mostly a difference that the player will notice rather than a listener. The resonance and vibe of high-quality mahogany and a decent maple slab is something you can feel more than hear. But if what you want is Les Paul tone this will get you there at a price you really can't argue with.

Can't speak to factory set up. Action can be set very low and fast, like any decent Gibson derived solid body. Seems well made for a guitar in this price range. It's solid mahogany, you can tell from the rear routing when you pop the cover, and the neck join is sturdy, good sustain. Finish is bulletproof, which would bother me on a Historic Reissue, but is fine here. For those who complain about the tuners: the vintage style tuners are like that on Gibsons too. They actually work well enough, but they feel flimsy. If you can't stand it get Grovers, everybody back in the day did.

A couple of serious flaws: The bridge was cheap and didn't feel very solid; installing a Tonepros was an easy fix and made a noticeable difference in resonance, sustain and intonation. Of greater concern was the fretwork. If you've played more high end guitars you've probably noticed the fretboard is almost always much improved in feel over less expensive guitars, and this Epi LP is no exception. Definitely something to consider. Aside from feel, my major quibble is this one dead spot on the high E string at the 10th fret that kind of drives me insane.

It's solid enough for a Gibson-style guitar. Drop it and that angled headstock will snap. Trust me, I know. See above re finish and hardware. My pup switch went out after about a year. I wound up gutting all the electronics and replacing them so no telling if something else might have gone wrong. The wiring looked kind of chintzy. The rear strap button is very loose and won't tighten, but as I said I'm a home player these days, so I don't really care.

Never been one to bother.

I've been playing about 15 years, and I've bought and sold a shameful amount of gear in that time. At this point I have a career and reponsibilities, but I make it a point to plug in and wail several times a week, just to take my mind off how old and boring I'm becoming.

What you need to know is that for a quarter of the price of an LP Classic, this will get you the LP sound, both live and on tape (er, hard drive). Switch out that crappy bridge and install a set of 57 Classics and no one YOU will ever meet is going to be able to hear the difference. Will you derive the same visceral satisfaction you would peeling off Beano licks on an R9 Historic? Hell no. But if you're on a budget (isn't everybody?) and you need an LP in your arsenal, this will get you the sound you're looking for.

This guitar looks great in it's Blue Burst finish, and I've removed the scratchplate to show it off.
It has an ALDER body with a mahaogany venner on the back and a maple veneer on the front, a mahogany neck and a rosewood fingerboard.
Hardware and scale length is typical Gibson, as is the neck, being similar to the Gibson Les Paul Standards 50's shape.
It didn't come with a gig bag which is a shame for a ??300+ guitar.
I have swapped the pickups for some Seymour Duncan's, but I do this to all my guitars.

The guitar doesn't sound like a pukker Gibson. It is close however. It has a throaty mid range roar that is the result of the construction. Play loud through a Marshall in a band and it really is hard to hear the difference between this and a real Gibson.
It is very versatile, with nice clean sounds, amazing crunch tones and, with the Seymour Duncans, great through a high gain amp.
The stock pickups couldn't take too much gain before becoming muddy and indistinct, so I swapped them for a JB/Jazz set and now the guitar sounds awesome.
I think Gibsons decision to use an Alder body is because they want people to buy a Gibson to get he Gibson sound. They don't want people buying a ??300 Epiphone to get the Gibson sound. This guitar does have a great sound in it's own right though, and should be judged on its own merits.
You wouldn't catch John Frusciante or Andy Summers using one, but it's great for everthing else!

The frets could do with being a bit bigger for me, but that is my taste. It plays slick and smooth and I am very happy with it. The flat fingerboard is great for bends.
Build quality is very good.

Built like a brick sh*thouse. I've added Grolsch bottle 'strap-locks' but I do this to all my guitars. It stays in tune, the finish is very thick so is very hard to damage.
No complaints here, except that the finish is slightly sticky and drags under the hand compared to a USA Gibson or PRS.

Never needed it for this particular guitar, but information is really easy to find and Rossetti are very good to deal with.

It's not the same as a Gibson Les Paul but is a very good guitar in it's own right. If you have to have a proper Les Paul save up a little bit more and buy a secondhand Studio, but for everyone else, this is fine!

The finish looks nice. Honeyburst finish w/plain top with double humbuckers and a thin 60's style neck. It's funny because I compared it to another Honeyburst Epiphone Les Paul Standard plain top and the color was way different(in the same Guitar Center). One was a sand color with little to no burst and mine is almost a burgundy/cinnamon color with a nice amber in the middle. MADE IN CHINA. Yeah. 3-way pickup switch, 4 knobs, 22 frets. All the usual stuff.

Intonates damn near perfectly with stock bridge. Of course, they will be replaced with Tone Pros bridge & saddle kit. Also, the tuners definitely need to be switched out for locking ones, but it's nothing I wouldn't do on a Gibson or my USA Fender.

The binding on Epiphones I have find have a much better color to them, not the pinkish hue that plagues the Gibsons which looks awfu;.

Quite honestly it looks better than most of the Gibson I'ved seen except for the Midnight Manhattan LP (which was incredibly stunning and I should have bought) they released in a few years ago for a limited time.

Sounds great acoustically. I was impressed. I'm not sure my USA Fender sounds as nice.

Using this with: Marshall 1987x reissue (bought new '05), Analog Man TS808, Analog Man BD-2, EH Little Big Muff (another great pedal), Fox Fox Captain Coconut II with Univibe after the delay pedal, Visual Sound h20 pedal (chorus & delay), Lovetone Doppelganger, MXR Phase 45, and finally an EH 16 digi-delay. I have an armful more, but not enough room until I get a nice pedalboard.

Basically, it sounds pretty good with stock pickups clean, but sounds delicious with my setup, didn't notice any hum other than that caused by my chorus pedal. Of course, the 1987x reissue is too bright on the High Treble channel as everyone knows, so that has to be modded, since it doesn get in the way of finding good sound sometimes. I'd recommend switching these pickups for Seymour Duncan Phat Cats or Seymour Duncan Custom Shop "Greenie" humbuckers, which are Peter Green pickups, complete with out-of-phase tone when the switch is in the middle position.

Suits my style because I love the look of the LP and it's great for that spacey classic rock with slide work.

Overall: OK sound when plugged in, great when unplugged. Upgrade to noiseless SD pickups!

Action was great, but I prefer it much higher and even for good slide work. Pickups seemed fine and the plain top is gorgeous. Not really any noticeable flaws I'd care about except for a tiny bit of brown (half a mm wide, inch long on the neck binding). Must be from the wood.

Everything looks great, and honestly for this amount a money, you gotta wonder why someone would drop over a $1000 on a Les Paul Studio, which plays, feels, and looks like muddy butthole on a rainy day in Scotland. I was in the market for a Gibson Les Paul Classic, until I played one and it was ok, but looked terrible.

Hardware should last but I upgrade my guitars anyway except for my Rickenbacker basses.

Strap buttons seem solid, I have no worries about durability. Should probably still get strap locks though. My Fender's strap buttons get loose a lot.

N/A

Been playing 10 years. 10 for bass, 5 for guitar.

I own two Rickenbacker 4003's, one black, one "Montezuma Brown". Awesome color and sound. A Japanese Fender Marcus Miller, a USA Strat, a Mexican Strat (great harmonics), and this bad larry.

I don't know if I'd buy this again, unless I saw it in a slighty deeper brown color which is now impossible since Gibson closed their custom shop to orders from the public.

I compared this to a 60's reissue Gibson LP, which runs for $3,000. It sounded great and played well, but wasn't a fan of the look, and quite frankly, cost too much, as almost all Gibsons do.

We all know the stats by know, but for the sake of conformity, my Epi has the cherry sunburst finish, set mahogany neck into a mahogany/maple body, two passive humbuckers and what appears to be plastic binding. I've heard that the flamed maple tops on these are actually just veneers (ultra-thin piece of wood), and that there is alder between the mahogany and maple. I still have the stock humbuckers in mine, and though I usually run the guitar's controls fully open, they seem to function perfectly well for fine adjustment.
The guitar is a little heavy, but not nearly as much as a Gibson.
I will say that the particular guitar I bought has a neck comparable to a Gibson 1960's neck, meaning that it is a little thinner that a Gibson 1950's neck.
I'm giving the guitar a 9 simply because I would really have liked to have the binding go all the way around the headstock as well as the neck and body, but I'll admit that it is a somewhat superficial complaint. If I could, I'd give it a 9.5.

I'm running this guitar into a Boss Tuner, BBE Boosta Grande, Dunlop Crybaby 535Q Wah, Electro-Harmonix Small Clone Chorus, Boss Noise Suppressor, Line 6 DL4, and Ernie Ball passive volume pedal. All pedals are powered and sit on a SKB PS-45 pedalboard, and then go to my Mesa/Boogie Nomad 100 head (with Groove Tube 12AX7's and EL34's) and Mesa/Boogie Traditional Rectifier 4x12 cabinet.

I use this guitar for blues, reggae, hard rock, and gospel. The sound is not quite as warm and strong as a Gibson, but well worth the cash spent on it. I've debating dropping Seymour Duncans into it, but that will have to wait a bit. As it is, I enjoy the sound of this guitar with my wah into my crunch and high gain channels. The guitar does have a strong, throaty bite all across the fretboard. It sounds very balanced through my clean channel, but seems a little too heavy to play funk or reggae.

I'll give a 9 overall in this category because to me it sounds pretty warm in the low and mids, and still maintains a strong high end that isn't shrill. However, I think that it could have stronger output. Compared to other guitars in this price range, I give it a 10.

I can't commend on the setup from the factory, as I got this guitar used. The pickups have always sounded decent to me, though as I mentioned before, I will probably switch them out at some point. The flamed top wasn't perfectly bookmatched, but still looks pretty good to me, so much that I just took off the pickguard and mounting hardwear to show off more wood. I get lots of favorable comments on the finish, colors and wood grain combination. There is a tiny bit of paint overlapping the bracing, but it's only visible to me when I'm playing and never to anyone else.

I've had this for six months, and it's held up very well for playing 1-4 times a week. I think the hardware will last a while, but everything does wear out eventually. This finish is strong, but one nice thing about having a $500 Epiphone to a $2200 Gibson is that if by some accident you would scratch, chip or dent the finish, it isn't as critical an accident. I did switch out the strap buttons for Straplocks because I tend to move around a lot on stage, and I would strongly recommend this to anyone that plays live.
The guitar does seem reliable enough to use without a backup, but I always take my Strat with me. You never know when a string will break between songs, and sometimes I'll have to change guitars during a set to get a different sound.
I'll give it a 9 for the lack of Straplocks, but otherwise it's a pretty stable instrument.

I bought it used, so I can't comment on the warranty.
So far, I've never had to take it into the shop, though if I do, I'll take it to Warner's Guitar Repair in Edmond, Oklahoma. He does wonderful repair work, and I'd highly recommend him to everyone in the area!

I've been playing electric guitar for four years. This was bought to be my primary guitar, as I started off and still use my Lotus Les Paul (with Seymour Duncans), as well as my Fender Deluxe Player's Stratocaster. I listed my rig above, and I'm very satisfied on the quality of this instrument. Eventually I'll trade up, but this guitar serves me very well for the present. I love the finish and paint on the guitar, as it looks gorgeous!
I do want to warn you, not all Epiphones are constructed or sound very good. I played five other Epiphone Les Paul Standards, and not one of them sounded exactly the same! I also tested this guitar against a Gibson Les Paul Standard and Custom Shop AAAA, and I think that the Epiphone sounded better than the Gibsons. In all fairness, tone is subjective, and Gibson's quality control has taken a dive in recent ears.
While it is certainly not my "last-you'll-ever-buy-or-want" guitar, I am pretty happy with this Epiphone. I would recommend anyone looking for a solid, reliable, rock 'n roll guitar to give one of these a try. Good luck!

Honey-burst Flame-Gorgeous! Tune-O-Matic-Plastic Keystone Tuners ( purchased before they went with Grover)The tuners are good but Grover's are better. Fat neck- feels great! I bought it new about 7 years ago. Korean made.

I like the pu's because they sound perfect with my amp a Roland Cube-60. My settings are; clean JC channel, all knobs at 12 o'clock except Presence- off. I use the amp's Phase at about half and the Delay also at about half that's it. The sound is beautiful! I do not use Distortion or Overdrive ever to me clean is best at judging tone and articulation and this guitar delivers. I haven't made any modifications just lowered the action a bit but not too much as this helps the notes ring and sustain. I play all styles mostly Rhythm.

Good factory set up but a few personal tweaks help to make it your own. As I said, I've not replaced anything. There are no flaws at all. I hear a lot of bad stuff about Epiphone pu's. I can only give my personal hands on experiences; I have nothing but praise for them.
Both have a clear, natural sound. I use all 3 settings. I don't play loud so clear tone is crucial to my playing. Frets are perfect and the edges are filed super smooth. I have custom made guitars that aren't as cleanly built as this one.

Here's what motivated me to write this review. I actually forgot I had the guitar. It was in an upstairs bedroom in it's case collecting dust not played for years. I came across it today and decided to give it a look and hopefully play it. I was amazed at what I saw! The guitar looked perfect! I took it downstairs to set it up and found I only had to tune it. It plays perfect! And the neck stayed perfectly straight through years of intense heat and cold, dry room conditions. That's what it's all about. Bravo Epiphone!

Limited lifetime warranty. No repairs needed. Haven't had to deal with the company.

I've been playing almost 40 years. I own many guitars, amps and effects but lately I like clean jazz like tone. (Big Pat Martino fan.) I have recently purchased an Epiphone SG-400 (Blue) and an Epiphone Les Paul Studio (White) both are brand new but once again required little set up and they they play super.
Would I buy another Epiphone? I think I just answered that question.
I love 'em.

Cosmeticaly these are about as good as it get, glossy, good workmanship, Grover tuners, good solid feel.

This is pretty much a Gibson Les Paul except for the pickups, I know because my instructor has one, and we ran it them through the same amp.

All said it's a nice little guitar.

Over all I give this guitar an 8.

Unless you compare this to a real Gibson LP, with the same amp, same fingures of someone who can play you will not know. Really your just guessin, so I did. My instructor, came over with his Gib LP, Mesa Nomad and ran them both.

Clean channel they are identical, weight wise, identical.

Here is the difference, the pickups. Gib LPs have bursbuckers in them, very hot, and Epis have kinda muddy tone humbuckers. Drop $200 on the some burstbuckers, live with the Epi label and I think you will have a LP for about 30% the price of a new LP $2300 Gibson standard.

A good player, a good amp, the right pick can make this sound nice. For rock, banging away on a Marshall, this is pretty nice.

Where I might go is insall the burstbuckers, because I think the tone would be cleaner in overdrive, not as muddy, and it breaks up nicely for the harmonic kinda squel that a reall LP can get. Ofcourse a better player then me might be able to do that with this EPI

This is as good as anything out there.

Been fine. Stays in tune, no issues.

Haven't needed them.

It's nice enough to look at that I hang it on my wall.
Up close it's perfect, grovers are great, it feels great, play comfy.
Get a real Epi case for it, and it's about as nice as it gets, looks like a million bucks.

Sound is the only detractor here, muddy pickups that maybe with the right amp, pick and player can improve. Death metal guys with lots of distortion, playing though non tubes will probably be just fine.

Tone junkies like me would do well to put some burstbuckers in, invest a little to get the tone of a Gibson LP. I haven't done it, but when I do I will review. Everyone wants a Gibson LP, like everyone want a Marshall half stack(I have one) Can this EPI be as good, I don't know, but I suspect so, at $2200 new for a LP, the $1500 that you save on this Epi with upgraded pickups could pay for some nice amps.

I give this guitar a 7 which is not a slam, it's good. I don't think a ten exists, its a one of a kind, it's perfect. A nine is a custom model, an 8 is an off the rack guitar that you got lucky and it worked. So this 7 guitar can be an 8, which is about as good as it gets.

I got this guitar about 10 years ago, so I suppose it's a '96 or '97 model. It was when they first introduced the transparent flame tops, I believe. Anyway, mine has a flame maple top, and the standard Les Paul setup.

Like most people who have Epiphone Les Pauls, mine has different pickups. I had them changed out about 8 years ago, and that was before I had a computer to read all the chat boards telling me to do it. In fact, I have two Epiphones, and they both now have Duncans in there. Let me tell you that an Epiphone with good pickups is going to be almost every bit as good as a real-deal Gibson. I say "almost" because I do have a real Gibson, and I like it better than this Epiphone. But that's not to say that my Epi isn't a fantastic guitar. In fact, I have played quite a few Gibsons that don't sound or play nearly as good as my Epiphone. I got lucky with a good, resonant plank of wood. You can, too, if you try out the guitar before buying. Play it without an amp - that's how you can tell if the wood is worth the purchase.

Anyway, on to my guitar. I have a pretty standard setup of a Duncan '59 in the neck and a JB in the bridge. After so many years, the pickups (they have nickel covers) are looking a little tarnished, but they still sound great. The JB will make your amp growl (even some solid state ones, but I play through tubes), so you might want to curl the tone knob back a bit. That really tames the pickup, and since it's so punchy, you still keep clarity. The '59 is your regular PAF pickup - you can make it growl if you want. It all depends on the attack. This guitar sounds really fat and heavy. Not so much heavy metal, although you can do that with ease on this thing. I mentioned that I like my Gibson more - that's because it's a little less hot than this Epiphone. I may switch the pickups out of this Epiphone for some GFS P-90's, just for a new sound. As is, you can hit a lot of styles with this guitar - it can get that dull thud jazz guitar sound, or screaming rock overdrive. I wouldn't really recommend it for country or reggae, since its sound is way to fat for those.

I have what was supposed to be a transparent amber burst. It's not even close. It's a weird orange-yellow that's not even trans amber. At first, I hated the color, but it has since grown on me for its uniqueness. I haven't seen another guitar with this color. The action is fantastic, especially after a pro setup. I use heavy guage strings with a wound 3rd, and this guitar still plays fast. The tuners are pretty crappy, but they keep their tune fine. I'll upgrade them to Grovers eventually, but I've been saying that for years.

I seem to burn through selector switches in this guitar... it's probably because the shop I used to go to kept installing crappy switches. Can't be the guitar's fault! Also, I flick the switch constantly - I love filpping it back and forth through sustaining notes - that's probably why I have the switch problem.

I've dropped the guitar loads of times, and it barely has the scratches to prove it.

No experience with them.

If you're in the market for a Les Paul, you won't go wrong with an Epiphone. Just test the guitar out first and make sure the wood is good. You can always change hardware and electronics to your liking. Epiphones look great, they're well-built, and the stock electronics aren't as bad as a lot of people say. The sound works for a lot of people. For the price, you get a lot of guitar.

I got this guitar as a graduation present, and I love it. It looks really nice--a nice gloss finish over a vintage sunburst. The tuners are Grovers and hold a tune quite well. Never had any problems with the Tune-O-Matic either.

There are two humbuckers, and although they're cheap stock pickups, I've never really felt the need to replace them with anything more expensive. They get the job done and they sound decent. A little pickup adjustment makes them sound better.

It was made in China, and I'm guessing it's probably a 2004 or 2005 model.

Most of what I play is contemporary Christian worship music and this does that well. My set up is:

Epiphone Les Paul Standard > Boss CS-3 Compression/Sustainer > Boss PH-3 Phase Shifter > Boss OS-2 Overdrive/Distortion > Boss EQ-20 Advanced EQ > Boss CH-1 Super Chorus > Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor > Marshall AVT50H and AVT412 cab/House System

I don't think the guitar itself has ever been noisy, although some of the pedals can be. It sounds great with my effects chain and I very rarely get bad sounds out of it.

The tone is OK with a factory setup, but I played around with the pickup heights a bit and I got something a with a little more bass. The treble pickup gives a nice bright, twangy sound suitable and the rhythm pickup has a full bass end and mid range.

If you don't have your amp set up right, the guitar can sound shallow, and it happens to me every once in a while. It typically sounds pretty good, though.

I got the guitar new, so everything was in good working order--no scratches or dents or missing knobs or anything like that. One of the volume knobs was a bit close to the guitar so it didn't turn as easily as the others, but that's pretty minor.

The action and intonation were not really all that good when I got it, so I ended up doing some adjusting and it sounds much better now. Ditto for the pickups--OK setup from the factory, but it can still be better.

I play this guitar at least once a week live and it's never failed on me once. I always gig it without a backup because it's a solid instrument. The knobs seem kind of cheap, but they work and haven't fallen off yet. The tuners are Grovers and are very solid. The strap buttons themselves are sturdy, although they're a bit small--I've had my strap come off the buttons before, and the holes in my guitar strap aren't exactly huge.

I've never had to deal with Epiphone, so I can't comment on their customer service.

I also have an Ovation CU247 and a Seagull S6+ with a cutaway. I really like this instrument, and while I wouldn't put it up against a real Gibson or an American-made Fender, it's not junk. I don't care what people say--Epiphone isn't some kind of cheap garbage. They're not professional quality, but they're still excellent guitars.

I don't know that I would buy another one if it got lost or stolen, because it was a graduation present and the sentimental value is big, so I couldn't really replace it. I might buy another Epiphone LP, I might buy something else.

In any case, this is a good instrument.

Epi Les Paul 2004 Wine Red
Amazing Flamed TOP! I think it was made in China. I am not sure.

I cant compare it to Gibson Les Paul because I own a Gibson and I know the difference among them. Even so, the Epiphone is great Guitar. It suit my style of music and my gear. I use it as backup in jam and small venue. it is main guitar in rehearsal studio.
For the price I paid this guitar I am very satisfied. I bought it used at store. It is worth it!

My guitar is perfect!
No problem...

Very good!

Never had problem!!!

I??ve been playing for 12 years. I mostly play a lot of Gibson and Epiphone. As I said above - We cant compare! The gibson is better than Epiphone. No doubt! But the Epiphone is a great guitar I can use it in anywhere, anytime, anyway... If you have a good amp You never will claim. You will not have reason to regret!
Choose with care and test before you buy anything!
Sometime peoples dont have patience to try and to search the right guitar... I had patience and I found the right Epiphone Guitar.
