Epiphone Goth Les Paul Studio Electric Guitar 

Comments about Epiphone Goth Les Paul Studio Electric Guitar:

I bought mine almost 2 months ago and it has become my No#1.go to guitar . I can not believe that a Les Paul can sound this darn good for such a low price. I got mine brand new and was pleasantly pleasd at the quality of this fine instrument. The stock Alnico Classic Humbuckers cover a wide array of sounds ranging from Blues to of course, Metal . Once set up properly, the Grover tuners will keep this baby in tune forever and the weight of this is very light for a Les Paul, which is a comfort to somebody of amy age ( 54 ). I am playing it through my vintage 1989 Peavey Bandit 112 along with my Digitech RP-50 and I never get tired of playing it . This guitar with the amp and processor I just listed, make a deadly combination and will blow the smoke off of anybody's eardrums within a mile. I love the Celtic Cross outline and the Roman numeral XII inlay on the 12th fret which IMO, make this guitar stand out from your standard Epiphone. All in all, this is one great deal for either a beginner or someone who is on a low budget who always wanted a Les Paul . Great job Epiphone on a great guitar !

I gave this guitar a full rating because it has everything I've been looking for in a guitar I also use a fender strat made in mexico that I customized with lace sensors hot gold pickups for the neck and mid pick ups and for the bridge I put an 13.2 k extra hot gold lace it has a killer sound by its self but when I record the songs I write I use the les paul for rythem and lead and I use the strat for rythem
it sounds melodic and dark sweet sorrow as I call the sound that they make when recorded with eachother for the les paul I plan on customizing it with Tony Iommi pickups and 500k pots with great shielding and bumble bee capasitors it doesn't need these changes really I just like the way the Iommi's sound
oh and there's an instrument cable in the box with it I thought that was a nice touch by epiphone
another thing about the les paul it has great sustain and harmonics the base responce is beautiful as well and the high end is very clean and clear I play through a line 6 spider II and that amp is kind of old I've had it for ever I plan on getting a peavey windsor tube amp so I can hear everything and all the versatility this beautiful guitar has to offer
once again Epiphone has raised the bar just beautiful
for the price you can't get a better guitar than this one
in my opinion the guitar has a sweet sound with the factory pickups and tone and volume pots are nice and smooth too

Overall, this guitar will do whatever you want it to do. I suggest it to anyone looking for a great guitar at a great price.
Ok. So you want an affordable guitar that plays pretty much like an old Paul? This is a great one. The only thing that could turn some away from this guitar is the MASSIVE neck. It's like the buisiness end of a Louisville Slugger. However, I have enormous hands, so this felt like a nice size for me. I plan on buying one soon.
Everything seems solid, besides the killswitch. It seems kinda shotty. It's also NOT as easy to use as it should or could be. I would replace it with an arcade-style button.
Epiphone continues to create one of the best values around.

I play 3 different guitars on stage, i have a sammick Greg Bennet explorer that i use for backup and ibanez strat style for different sound, but this one is my main guitar, and for good reason, it sounds awesome, it plays smooth, the cleans are warm and full at the neck and bright and cutting at the bridge. with the classic les paul wiring you can get just about any sound you want out of this, ive played it next to a Gibson Les Paul, and as far as feel goes, its almost exactly the same. dont be taken back by the Goth name, while you can get some of the best metal distorstion sounds out of this guitar, my band plays mostly classic rock and a bit of thrash, and i couldent ask for a more versital guitar.if your looking for a LP, and dont have the cash, this is the guitar for you, ive owned it for close to 10 years now, the only problem i have ever experienced with it was some shoty wiring within the first year, but i took the back plate off, re soldered, and has been good ever since. Buy IT

Overall this thing is amazing. you get a guitar that does everything and does it well. the distorted tone blew me away but when i heard the clean tone through my Marshall Valvestate....i had to look down to see if i was playing an acoustic or not. it sounded THAT good. I recommend it to anyone who wants a good les paul without the les paul price.
I got this guitar two days ago and it is just amazing. The seperate volumes for the pickups make it great to go from distorted to clean with a flick of the switch. The only thing lacking is that i can't seem to find this killswitch in the tone pot.
It's only day two. So I haven't really seen anything that would make me doubt the quality yet. I'm sure it will hold up for years to come.
I traded in my Epiphone SG Les Paul Custom for this and am very satisfied with the trade. The sound is just great for the price.

I really don't know how they built such a great guitar for the price of this thing. It sounds awesome in drop C and drop B tunings, just an absolute blast to come up with riffs on. What really amazed me was how good the guitar sounded clean. It has fantastic tone and wonderful control with the on board electronics and the pickups. The only thing I didn't like was the output jack keeps wanting to come apart. Another thing to look at is the weight of this thing. Its not a light guitar, so if you're going to be playing long sets, you might want to look at something different. I've been playing bass for years so its a non issue for me. I never played with the factory strings, so I have no idea how they sound. I always swap strings before I play a new instrument.

I just got this guitar the other day and it is absolutely phenomenal!!! I have always wanted a Les Paul but could never afford one; I always thought that the Epiphone version would be less than par. I was WRONG!!! The goth Les Paul Studio is a work of art with an attitude. It sounds GREAT!!! All of the craftmanship that went into this guitar is perfect, every detail is spot on. This thing is so goth it breathes fire and *#@&s brimstone!!! The satin finish is set off by the glossy hardware so that it is all black without being TOO black. The only issue is the stock strings and even they aren't too bad. well done Epiphone. you've got a customer for life!!!

This guitar is flat out excellent. I haven't been able to take my hands off of it since I bought it. Stock straight out of the box, it was set up with great action, and even on stock pickups this thing has awesome sound. It SCREAMS with distortion on, and clean tones are surprisingly good for humbuckers. One feature I was completely unaware of is that one of the pots also functions as a killswitch if you push down on it. This is my first Les Paul, so I'm not sure if that's standard or not, but I think it's awesome either way.Other reviewers have commented about how the finish marks up very easily with fingerprints, and unfortunately they're absolutely right. Take care to touch the body of the guitar as little as you can, and clean it frequently if you want it looking good.The only complaint I could have about this axe is that the high E string snapped during shipping, which was a blessing in disguise since the stock strings were mediocre anyway. Replaced with some Ernie Ball Reg. Slinkys, and the tone just *peaked*. Also of mention, the tuners are excellent on this guitar. Even with string stretch, I have barely needed to re-tune at all. This thing stays in tune better than what most Floyd Rose advertisements claim they can do.All in all, if you're a musician on a budget, and you play *anything* that justifies dual humbuckers, this guitar is the best bang for the buck I've seen.
