Les Paul Special Satin E1, Heritage Cherry Sunburst

The Epiphone LP arrived and turned out to be the same as described by previously posted positive reviews. An excellent instrument. I was careful to inspect it first because if it was defective I was going to just repack it and ship it back. One of the things that surprised me was how well set up this guitar was. The neck was tensioned up with just a tiny bow in it, the way I like it, and the bridge was near perfect. I checked the adjustments with a Snark tuner to see if the 12th fret was really each string's octave, and did random checks on the rest of the fingerboard to make sure the frets were pitch true. The strings might be just the tiniest bit higher than I personally like, but having said that, it seems to make bends a little easier to grab and hold. It's still easy to bar so I may just leave them there. The body's a lighter than some other LPs. This might make the neck feel a skosh heavier if you play standing up. Depends. My personal preference is to have the neck slightly elevated because it makes it easier for me to reach the bass strings, but most people don't seem to care. For me, it doesn't matter since I don't play in a band any more and do all my playing seated nowadays. I bought this model because I have another one with P90 pups and wanted one with humbuckers. The P90s have a terrific sound on single notes. To my ear, they don't have as good of note separation as humbuckers in chords. I like the P90s for their unique sound, though, and the other guitar is still a keeper. This newest one also has terrific tone. The bridge pickup has a distinctive treble for leads, and the neck pickup has a really mellow sound that seems to go with chords better. The bridge pup was setup higher than the neck pup, I guess to make the volume even, because both pups are equal. I got the ebony model and it's a plain Jane. The finish isn't glossy, and you can see the grain in the body. I don't pay much attention to external cosmetics, but it turns out that I like this look. Glossy finishes show smears and wear more, so this ebony, semi rough finish is kind of nice in that respect. Besides, she might not look like much, but she sure can sing. I love this model but if your tastes go to something a little more flashy you may want to go with the sunburst one. As far as the tuning pegs go, they look like the same ones as on the Epiphone LP with P90s. I was going to replace those with Dan Armstongs but when I took them off the guitar, I found that the dress cover was removable. Underneath that, I discover that the pegs I was having issues with are secured with a screw that was too loose. I tightened those and haven't had tuning problems since. Fret board/strings were a little sticky feeling so I used a soft cloth and Pledge and now it feels just fine. I'll keep this one the way it is for awhile to see if it has tuning peg issues. I'll adjust those if necessary. After I change the strings to a set I usually play, I'll recheck the setup and adjust if it's necessary. Overall, this guitar is comfortable and a joy to play, has an accurate fretboard and great tone.

This is the guitar that I learned on, and the Guitar I will use to teach my children. Upon arrival, there was no damage, and no discernable defects. It's simple enough to start playing out of the box with a quick tune and sounds fine. I wouldn't have ever noticed it's "shortcomings" if I hadn't upgraded to a much higher quality guitar. This is the guitar I will recommend for anyone trying to feel out whether or not they want to become a guitarist.

Don't let the super cheap price fool you, this thing is amazing. Great sound, comfortable to play, and looks gorgeous. The neck feels wonderful, and the string travel is comfortable, which is great since I picked this up and haven't played in years. The pickups are pretty standard base pickups, but they have good sound, and are easily swapped. It has a great adjustable bridge, which is a huge bonus on such a low priced guitar. Definitely worth picking up!

Cheapest look n feel I've ever experienced on a guitar

Great. Present for Christmas, can't wait for my grandson to get it.

This guitar looks nice enough for the money I paid. Has a nice tone. Mine came pretty poorly set up. The neck was bowed forward too much. Had lots of buzz and the fret ends were very sharp. I had to file those down. I get compliments on this piece but can definetely tell its something that was not crafted with lots of time, skill or care.

I'm a new guitarist and I bought this guitar about 6 months ago. It's my first electric and it's been great. Nice tone, the fret spacing works well for me, and I love the look of it. It's been a great first guitar and friends who have played a long time have enjoyed playing it as well. Really happy with it.

Amazing sound and fun to play

Superb guitar for the money and has quickly become my favourite to play while practicing. Easy to play and sounds great (even on the original strings).

İyi bir başlangıç gitarı denilebilir, ses titreşimi, yorumu, tonu çok yerinde. Distortion tonda aynı şekilde. Ancak ayarlama yapılmalıdır. Sadece kargolama çok kötüydü. Hiçbir koruyucu paket içerisine konulmamıştı.

Preciosa guitarra. Tacto del mástil muy suave y muy agradable. Sonido muy limpio. Adecuada tanto para principiantes como para iniciados. Excepcional relación calidad / precio

Esteticamente mi piace tantissimo, fatta bene, robusta e ottimo sound, ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.

Arrivata sei giorni prima del previsto, rapporto qualità prezzo ottimo, buoni legni ed elettronica. Le corde montate sono morbide al tatto (ottimo per i principianti), imballaggio idoneo al trasporto e certificato di controllo qualità in dotazione. Per il momento sono molto soddisfatto.
