Average Customer Ratings:
If you can handle everything about the Gibson except the price, check this out. Engineers designed this modern classic with the arched top and fast neck of the best Les Pauls. It has an arched, figured curly Maple, carved top in faded sunburst finishes for that great LP look. And like all Les Pauls, features a solid glued neck joint for great sustain and stability. These guitars are built to 100% Gibson specifications.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Not a Gibson, but good value for money - 
This a good guitar. It is a shame it looks like and is called a Les Paul, which will immediatly force oyu to draw comparisons with the "real thing". For a £350 guitar, this is very good. They play nicely, look good, and probalby won't let you down. You won't be dissapointed if you got one of these. I've taken the time to undertake an extensive comparison of the Gibson and Epiphone Les Paul. You can see this at my website dub dub dub dot masht dot com. I hope this helps. To summarise, there IS a big difference in the tone, there IS a big different in teh aesthetics, and there IS a big difference in the build quality and the auality of the components. It is NOT the same thing made in a different place.

One sweet guitar for a great price! -
All of my favorite guitarists like Ace Frehley from KISS, Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin, and Slash from Guns and Roses play Les Pauls so when I went out to get an electric guitar I definately had my heart set on a Les Paul because I loved the sound so much. I went to a local guitar store and saw the rather soul crushing price of a Gibson Les Paul and then desided that an Epiphone would be more in my price range. I tried it out and loved it. It had the feel and sound of a Gibson but at a much more affordable price. I found that it fit my style of playing perfectly from its wonderful clean sound for folk to its awesome distorted sound for rock. If you are a fan of the aforementioned guitarists or guitar playing styles, this guitar is a must buy!
Great Guitar! -
I bought my Epiphone Les Paul Standard a little over 4 years ago, and it's been my main guitar ever since! If you're looking for the essentials of a Les Paul but for a fraction of the price of a Gibson (not to mention the weight...your shoulders and back will love you for it!), you just can't beat an Epiphone!
I've heard many times from other musicians I've talked to that an Epiphone Les Paul is not a "real" Gibson, it's a Les Paul "copy", etc. These couldn't be any further from the truth. Epiphone is a Gibson company and they use all Gibson manufactured pickups, electronics and hardware. The chief difference between Gibsons and Epiphones is where they're manufactured; Gibsons are assembled in Nashville and Epiphones in Korea. Both are constructed with mahogany bodies and rosewood fretboards, but the only other difference is that Gibson uses AA grade or higher maple for the tops and necks and Epiphone uses mahogany for the necks and alder for the tops.
Many players believe that heavier woods makes a difference in the tone, and in some instances, that's true. But I've played a Gibson LP Standard and an Epiphone LP Standard back to back through the same amp and I heard virtually no difference in the tone. The only thing different between the two was the weight, that's all. The Epiphone was lighter and easier to play sitting down and especially standing, and to me, it sounded every bit as good as the Gibson played both clean and "dirty" (distorted).
In my band, I play my Epiphone through a 100-watt Marshall combo amp; with the main settings on the amp all set on 5 and miked up through the PA, the sound is incredible; if you're up close to the stage, it'll take your head off! I'm not knocking Gibsons at all; I owned one myself once before and loved it. They're nice guitars and worth owning one if you've got the bread to buy it. But if you're on a "budget" like most people, I say dare to compare and simply let your ears be your guide; strap on an Epiphone, crank it up and just let it rip...I guarantee you'll love it!
