Gorgeous Les Paul looks matched with professional guitar appointments.
Epiphone's history and association with Les Paul dates way back to the days when Les, working at the Epiphone factory on 14th St. in New York, created the world's first electric guitar. Over the years, Les continued to work closely with Epiphone by reviewing new product ideas and offering suggestions. The Epiphone Les Paul Quilt Top PRO electric guitar combines the best of Les Paul's original design with new features that set this Epiphone guitar apart.
Professional Electronics
The Les Paul Quilt Top PRO uses Epiphone's 4-wire, nickel/silver base humbuckers with newly tooled, USA-style bobbins. In the neck position is Epiphone’s chrome-covered ProBucker 2 with warm, thick vintage tone. It's uniquely paired with a chrome-covered ProBucker 3 humbucker, an inspired by version of Gibson's BurstBucker 3, that features unevenly wound coils and Alnico-II magnets that replicate that "Patent Applied for" airy tone. To top it all off, both volume controls feature push/pull potentiometers allowing you to coil-split each pickup for single-coil sounds. Combined with the 3-way toggle, you get 6 unique sounds from one great Les Paul guitar.
Premium tone woods
The Epiphone Les Paul Quilt Top PRO guitar has a solid mahogany back with a stunning, carved quilted top. Its solid mahogany neck is hand-fitted and glued into the body for excellent neck-to-body contact and resonates almost like one continuous piece of wood.
Loaded with add-ons
Other features on the Epiphone Les Paul included quality Grover tuners, a traditional cream-colored pickguard, and LockTone™ tune-o-matic bridge with stopbar tailpiece.

Comments about Epiphone Limited Edition Les Paul Quilt Top PRO Electric Guitar:
Mine is a few years old now, so I've had time to let the honeymoon settle and for the guitar and myself to discover all the things we don't like about each other. At the time I purchased this guitar, it was hands-down the best sounding guitar I had ever owned. The electronics are solid and for recording, it blew my other guitars away. However, it has some things that I really don't like also. The neck is very thick, the body is very heavy, and in a sitting position, Les Paul's are just uncomfortable to me. Also the tuners feel pretty cheap, and unplugged, this guitar sounds like cardboard.
Now don't get me wrong, this guitar has many pluses as well... the translucent finish is BEAUTIFUL. As I said before, the overall tone is great, even through a practice amp. And since I'm a bit of a collector, it just feels right to have at least one of these in rotation (I'm not paying Gibson prices for a guitar style I'm not too crazy about, so this is as close as it gets). I'm a Fender guy, but if you really want to have a Les Paul, these things are overall pretty great and priced fairly.

Comments about Epiphone Limited Edition Les Paul Quilt Top PRO Electric Guitar:
Looking to get back into a Les Paul, I sat down played several Les Pauls (including Gibsons) at my local guitar retailer and this one sounded so much better than any of the other ones. The tone this thing puts out is unsurpassed for the money. The neck was a little out of whack from the factory, but after a set up, it's just perfect. I'd definitely recommend this Les Paul to my friends and I will be gigging with it this weekend.

Comments about Epiphone Limited Edition Les Paul Quilt Top PRO Electric Guitar:
I simply want to write, "Best Guitar Ever In History," but I can't write that without thinking about hurting the feelings of those who might not have this guitar yet. The guitar has great pick ups. There is no need to compare this guitar to a Gibson Les Paul. Different sounds, different generations, different worlds, and so on.
Whether I play this guitar through my practice amp or through my cabinet, Epiphone's bright sounds come through beyond my expectations. For those of you who are into distortion, well, the guitar can meet those needs and then some. Should you be into shredding and that sort of thing, I can only suggest that you put some lighter strings on it than I have on mine. I really can't say whether or not it is great for that. However, for those who like guitarists such as Izzy Stradlin or Andy McCoy or Chrissie Hynde or Tomoyasu Hotei and would like to hear a different take on that sound, this Epiphone guitar delivers that experience.
Having played a lot of guitars and basses over the last thirty years, it was a surprise that this guitar would be the one that made me want to sit down and think through why it is that I enjoy playing and recording with it. The guitar has a familiarity about it, but it is not any attempt of mine to sound like somebody playing in 1976. This guitar may not stand the test of time like others do. Still, the reason to buy a guitar to my way of thinking is to play now, right now, so please do so regardless of which guitar you own at the moment. You can always pick up Limited Edition Les Paul Quilt Top Pro Electric Guitar tomorrow or the day after that. Respect the rock!

other than fret buzz on the low e string, this is a great playing guitar. I was disappointed it came without a case, however.
