Epiphone LP

[sucker punch]

Well im getting a new guitar and i want to get a Les Paul, an Epiphone one, im wondering if anyone one here knows anything about them? dose it play nice? , dose it have a good sound, is it solid and wont break quick/easy . im sure im either going to get a Standard or a Custon which one is better ?

Thanks

my recommendation is to get the Epiphone Les Paul Standard. i bought one over this past summer, and it was worth every penny. it plays great, sounds great, and looks great. for $500, i couldn't ask for anything more. if your a gnr fan and cant afford a Gibson, buy this ASAP.

as far as epiphones go, the ace frehley signature model is arguably the best one out there...it's a little mor epricey though and you can even get some of the cheaper gibsons for less

i've played one and it's sound is better than the replica i got

I've got the Epi triple humbucker Black Beauty and love it to pieces. I was going to get a blue standard or a white custom but decided on the BB for the sheer quality of its tone. Pick it and you won't go wrong but a standard and a custom are pretty nice too

Well, I have the Les Paul standard, and it's great! The tone is wonderful, it has a nice narrow neck, and it is a joy to play!

I've got one of those too. It wails, even when I don't...

One question I have is how do you know which LP to get? I'd love to learn to play a similar style to Slash. Will any LP be suitable for that?

I'm just learning now on an cheap Yamaha acoustic. Eventually I plan to buy a nicer acoustic (got my eye on the Ibanez AEL20E - this thing looks gorgeous!) and a nice electric.

Electric I'll probably get an Epiphone Les Paul 1956 Goldtop (love that colour). Others to consider are: Gibson Les Paul Studio (bit pricey though), Epiphone Limited Edition Les Paul Custom (Silverburst), or an Epiphone Les Paul Standard.

Guess I better start saving up!

Epiphone makes pretty decent guitars. Great for starters.

Just try to avoid the cheapest models like special, 100 etc.
