Epiphone Les Paul 100 Left-Handed Electric Guitar  

I bought this guitar and have 3 other guitars. This one plays good but i think my amp is what is holding back the sounds that this guitar could produce. The price was right when i bought it and the value was  great i would tell anyone starting out that is left handed to buy this guitar.

I bought this guitar from Musician's Friend 3 years ago after spending a whole year researching a first guitar for myself.  It took me another year to learn what to do with the thing and produce the sounds I wanted from it. Now I feel I'm ready to reach the next level and after spending all this time with lessons and practice I still enjoy playing this guitar! Changing the strings to D'addarios was a big improvement. I can produce a nice thick chunky tone out of it or clean it up and go jazzy. Pair it with the right amp and you won't be let down.

Having noticed the price drop on this axe, I have to say that it is even better than before, for less that 3 bills you can have a very descent guitar. I found my used at a local shop, but it is the very same LP 100. Great tone and good action. I won't compare it to a Gibson Les Paul, or even better Epiphones. But I will say that Epiphone does a nice job all around on this instrument. It is a great beginner guitar. It has excellent tone. I enjoy playing more than any guitar I have had in the past (mostly entry level: Yamaha, Hohner, etc.) In terms of affordable lefty guitars for beginners and even intermediate players, I would say keep it in the running. Especially if price is important to you. Finally, if you want a lighter Les Paul this may also be the one for you. LP's can be heavy, but this one is really comfortable to stand with or to play while sitting. 

I've had this guitar for three months now and she's a great machine.  She needed to be set up when she first showed up, but after everything was set up I haven't had a single problem since.  Plays very smooth, pickups are hot, stays in tune (with DR strings on) and is very reactive. Quality is the only category I scored down, but it's cosmetic stuff.  The knobs are all off a right handed guitar so 10=0 and 0=10 and the guitar needed A LOT of set up, more than any other guitar I've ever owned or helped anyone set up.  But, all the work was worth it in the end.  Lefties are hard to find and this one is awesome at a great price.  Highly recommend.
