    For a non-guitar connoisseur like me it sounds good and people in the audience won't give a f*ck what gear you have as long as you sound good.

    Bought one just because I liked the blue color. It's very light weight which I really like. Got it used in mint condition with a nice gig bag for $175. 2014 Les Paul Special has a Blue Burst gloss finished flamed maple veneer top and a beautiful rosewood fretboard. Installed a set of Grover 133N Deluxe tuners, everything else is stock. Cheers!

    My Series 1 w/ P90s is always in the fight when I stand in front of the guitar rack and ponder: " Who shall we play today? "
    Bought used, less than $70.00....but the prior owner had done a killer job with fretwork/intonation/neck set......
    I've probably owned 40+ guitars.....but I've got a crush on my Epi!
    Astonishingly underrated!

      Man I hope you are right. I bought one on reverb used as an impulse buy or rather an mistake buy after all the TV Yellow $400 reviews I thought it was the same one only in Red. Anyway now I have low expectations when it arrives. You have given me some encouragement.

      You will love it!!!!! I am totally sure...
      I have driven some crazy( and expensive trick stuff: Rick 370s, flash strats, Firebirds, beserk SGs, fancy stuff, but this is my current darling.
      P.S. I am normally 100% a Fender driver.....had dozens.... But, I love this little darling!
      Rock on.

      I'm planning to do that, actually. the only thing that concerns me is the neck warp and how it'll hold up over time, which is very important because I'm running on a relatively low budget.

    I've had this guitar for a year now playing with the amplifier boss katana 50 and let me tell you this guitar does great.
    %80 percent of the sound quality comes from the amplifier. I play mostly metallica and I recommend this guitar but please don't get the player pack the amplifier is so bad it's not worth it boss katana mini isn't bad on a budget. I also had vox pathfinder 10 and that doesn't work with metal but for the clean and rock definitely works.

    Honestly, a flat-top bolted on neck les paul is something I wish epiphone take it a bit more seriously. Really, there are no options for people who like playing these but want something with nicer specs.

      I have an epi les paul studio E1 ebony and its a great guitar. Cost me about £220. It's a full les paul with the four control knobs and the switch in the correct place. I reckon you are better off with one of those rather than the 3 types you mentioned, though those 3 are decent enough.

      No they don't. They are better then most of the cheap Gibson Melody Maker models after 2005. The Epiphones are nicely balanced and don't have that clunky neck feel of the Gibson rounded profile necks on the super light weight Melody maker Cedar Bodies.
