Epiphone

As if the regular Les Paul couldn't play scary enough.

The Epiphone Goth Les Paul Studio oozes dark vibes. Black chrome hardware. Rosewood fretboard with 22 frets and XII inlay at the 12th fret. The body and set neck are mahogany, and it comes armed with 2 Alnico Classic humbuckers. The LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece add more sustain and make string changing easier. An innovative integrated killswitch/tone pot lets you create a sonic strobe effect.

Not for the faint of hand!

| Review By: HeadbanginSasquatch | 3 months, 4 weeks ago

0 people out of 0 found this review helpful

Features:

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.

Quality:

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.

Value:

Epiphone continues to create one of the best values around.

Overall:

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.

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.

AMAZING GUITAR!

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.

So Goth It Breathes Fire...

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!!!
