Epiphone 6 String Ltd Ed Les Paul Classic Custom PRO (GH), Alpine White, Jumbo (ENCIAWGH3)

I've never had the cash for a Gibson but wanted a white LP since I was a kid (with Frampton’s 54 Phenix a close 2nd). As I became a player in the 70s and 80s, Epiphones did NOT have a good reputation. After years of research, decided this was the one. It arrived with a near perfect set up - action was on spec and only needed some very minor intonation. I own a 80's strat and a BC Rich Mockingbird and this plays sweeter by far. The SlimTaper “D” neck is very comfortable for my stubby fingers and plays fast. Quite heavy but I like that. Craftsmanship is stellar considering the price. Sounds great whether full out distortion or clean blues and the split coil switch adds some nice versatility.

Absolutely stunning Les Paul. Very easy to play. Gorgeous tone and shredding leads. I did have to use adhesive to more firmly attach one of the volume knobs, but no big deal. The only reason I would not recommend to a beginner is because budding guitarists should have to learn to adapt and overcome cheaper made guitars and their quirks before handling the perfection of the Les Paul. Still gave 5 stars on that, not the company's fault for my opinion about that. The much more expensive Gibson will pretty much only get you the satisfaction of saying you own a Gibson Les Paul. Not disappointed and very glad for this purchase.

I have been playing guitar starting 1969. I have a Les Paul Custom. This I got because I want ro save the Gibson as pristein as possible. The white chosen Epiphone as the Gibson is black and wanted one of each. I am very pleased as I compaired the two. Totally satisfied as all I did confirm intonation and adjusted srring height and pickup height for personal liking but as recieved it was correctly adjusted to factory specs. Love it.

I bought this for a friend and I'm really impressed. I've owned many epiphones over the years and even though this was assembled in China it's really very very good. Solid joints, decent hardware, set up ok right out of the box and sounds great. If you can afford a Gibson you'll get a better guitar, but for the money this thing is amazing. I think it's worth a lot more than they charged.

Extremely cheap made. Horrible quality.

Item: Epiphone Custom Pro. Original purchase returned b/c nut cut incorrectly causing distortion and vibration, most notably on D string, frets 2-4. Replacement guitar has the exact same problem, nuts and guitar probably manufactured and assembled in same batch run. A rather obvious QC issue that should have been caught. Very disappointing as this is a really nice instrument. However, the vibration is unacceptable and all too noticeable.In the category of customer service, first call bounced to call center in India. Reps generally argumentative and quoted return policy which is not in agreement with Amazons published return policy. Transferred to 2nd call center in Philippines, unfortunate communication challenges. Requested transfer to US customer service rep. Originally told no, persistence finally got us transferred to US rep. This rep absolutely worked the issue, very professional.

Guitar is beautiful, was setup well out of the box, and has incredible sound. Easily the nicest guitar i have ever owned

From the first time I plugged in into my amp it had a nasty hum. Like a bad ground. It uses circuit boards with connectors instead of just soldering everything together like most guitars at least use to be. That would have been fine but the wiring they used was the tiniest wire I’ve ever seen used in a guitar and a wire was broken. I just fixed it myself instead of sending it back. I did ask the factory for the wiring diagram but they sent the wrong one.
