I'm new to the electric ukulele. So I also needed an amp. I went to a local music shop to test a few with the best ukulele's they have. Let me just say, if you want a ukulele you can plug in, epiphone has given you a golden opportunity. This les paul ukulele sounds just as good if not better than the ones that sell for a lot more. The two features I noticed the pricey ones have over the les paul ukulele are EQ and projection when unplugged. Can you buy a better ukulele? Yes you can, but why would you need to?
This ukulele has 19 frets, A beautiful finish, and looks like a LES PAUL! It comes with a gig bag and a cable. There is no EQ but in my opinion it is not missed.
This little baby feels solid in your hands. The sound, most importantly, is smoking when plugged in. However it has little projection when unplugged. It still has a very sweet tone unplugged and could be mic'd to give an entirely different sound than the pick up provides. The finish is chipped where the neck is bolted to the body, but it is a micro blemish. The gig bag is black with the epiphone logo printed on the front. The bag is featured with a double zipper and has a pocket to store strings, cables, autographs, ect... The cable is low quality but works.
Best deal. So happy.

I definitely rate this Uke a 9, particularly with the price considered. I was really kind of expecting the finish to look Cheesy, but for the price, I wasn't gonna complain. Well the pics don't do it justice, it's really well executed. One "sticking point" might be that they call it an acoustic/electric, and if you are looking for an accoustic uke that ya can plug in too . . .it may disappoint. It's simply too quiet without being connected to an amp for even living room play for friends. This is GREAT for me personally though, because I can really play it after my girlfriend goes to bed, instead of trying to play quietly on my Oscar Schmidt Accoustic. which will wake her up if I forget and try to work out the strings heavily. This one won't do that, so it works well for me. The sound is actually excellent in "acoustic mode", just very quiet. The uke did come with a small low end (but adequate) amp cable.
I also bought a Raven RG20 Amp, and once I plugged it in, well DANG! This little Uke can flat-out rock. Even with the limitations of the basic, low-frills amp, you can get a lot of different sounds out of this uke, and do it with ease. I can't wait to get an effects pedal in the middle!
Even with just the basic amp, it was easy to get nice clean sound for songs like "The Boxer" by Simon and Garfunkle, or enough distortion and such fro some Pink Floyd, or even a somewhat "grunge rock" type sound. It's just a really easy uke to play, simple as that.
To be honest, I can't imagine getting a nicer electric uke for less money. I'd have been satisfied if I'd paid 250 bucks for it, quite honestly. For those wondering what amp to get for a uke like this, I just took a guess, but the RG20 is working well for me on the uke and with the way/what I play. and seems like it would even suffice for playing in a small neighborhood pub or whatever. Kudos to Epiphone on this ukulele . . .and dang, how else can ya get a brand new Les Paul for this price?
I'm satisfied with this ukulele immensely. I don't care for the pick guard, but hey, it is made to mimic a Les Paul guitar. And some folks will surely use a pick, so I'm being overly critical on that point. The Uke did come with a amp cable, I was glad since I forgot to order one along with the Uke And Amp I ordered. A low end, but adequate cable.
The passive pickup works MUCH better than I expected it to. I may add a preamp later, but for now, I'm perfectly happy with the passive setup . . .and I didn't expect to be.
I can't imagine anyone rating this Ukuleles quality less than a 10, particularly with the price being considered. It looks MUCH better than even the advertising pictures show, which surprised me. The finish was perfect. I talk about that the overall review. I expected the sunburst pattern to look kinda "stenciled" like it does in the advertizing pictures . . . which it didn't. I'd have been happy with the quality at twice the price. The neck was perfect, frets set well and level, nothing even threatening to buzz, everything was ready to go after a quick tune.
Again, what can I say . . . . A Les Paul ukulele . . . . for about the price of a toaster oven.

Comments about Epiphone Les Paul Acoustic-Electric Concert Ukulele Outfit:
Once you actually hold this instrument, you will notice the weight is much heavier than a traditional Ukulele. It feels solid and very familiar if you play a lot of electric guitar. The acoustics are fair and can be heard Ok playing solo. But if you plan to play with anyone else or use tracks then I highly recommend
you plug it in. What's will sell you is the look, any trained eye recognizing the legendary Epiphone Les Paul look a like Ukulele, playing as good as it looks.

Comments about Epiphone Les Paul Acoustic-Electric Concert Ukulele Outfit:
Great fit and finish. Really nice sound with D'Addario Titanium strings. Quiet and perfect for practice (and not driving the rest of the family nuts) when not plugged in, and really rocks when it is plugged in. A quality instrument that stays in tune and a joy to play. I haven't had this much fun in a long time.

Comments about Epiphone Les Paul Acoustic-Electric Concert Ukulele Outfit:
Great value for the money but the cheap plastic Nut and Saddle give it low volume and poor tone. I made a new bone nut and saddle and it made a big difference in tone and loudness. Soft plastic nuts are tone killers on any instrument. It is now a great practice UKE and good for places you don't want to take a great instrument.

Comments about Epiphone Les Paul Acoustic-Electric Concert Ukulele Outfit:
Got this uke, a year and a half ago, and I thought it was great! Used it live a few times through my Marshall combo-AMAZING TONE! This uke is pretty sick for the price! But at this point I would only rate it probably 4 stars because of the the saddle and the nut being some plastic junk. UPGRADE TO BONE!!!!!!!!! I cant stress that enough! I wish I had it done ages ago! It is considerably louder unplugged, and the tone is B-E-A-utiful! And now deserving of a 5 star rating!
If you play uke,and want a good live instrument, LOOK NO FURTHER!

Comments about Epiphone Les Paul Acoustic-Electric Concert Ukulele Outfit:
this was my first electro-acoustic uke and I would honestly say it was a poorly chosen one on my part. Never, ever buy an instrument before you try it out. This is just too quiet for my needs when unplugged, and even when it's plugged in it offers very little control over the sound. The only positive part is when I dropped it bottom first on concrete, the body remained intact and the sound was unaffected.

I am a beginner with a uke. I have a lot to learn. Love this little guy. All of my music friends that I play with were impressed with this ukulele. I am a vetern drummer needing another challenge and this little guy is perfect for me. I would recommend this to anyone to purchase. Great buy!

Comments about Epiphone Les Paul Acoustic-Electric Concert Ukulele Outfit:
My Son has asked for this Ukulele for two years. Bought him an Epiphone banjo for Christmas and with the %20 Musiciansfriend sale they had He asked if He could buy the Epiphone Uke and get the sale price. Couldn't say No. When It arrived it was set up perfect. Gibson family quality. Twice as much sound as his Ovation family Uke. He loves it. While performing with it at Church during Christmas It was plenty loud and sounded great. I just wish it had a volume control without adjusting volume from the amp... Also the white pickguard could be replaced with a fake tourtouis shell or even a black to be more Gibson looking...
