This guitar looks really great and plays smoothly. The most important part of a guitar in my opinion the neck. I have bought several less expensive guitars, and sometimes lost the gamble on quality. Poor neck work can mean fret buzz, frets lifting off, and can make for difficult tuning. Although this neck is a bolt-on, it is pretty solid, and well made.
So what are the tradeoffs for buying a cheaper guitar? The wood is one tradeoff. Poplar is a cheaper type of wood than mahogany or alder, and supposedly less acoustically resonating. Pickups are also a bit cheaper. Does this matter? Not to my ear, and I've been playing for over 20 years. I pit this against my Eipiphone Studio (with a solid mahogony body), and when it comes to the sustain, I can't hear a difference. The tone is also very comparable. Epiphone's low-end pickups have improved substantially over the years. The stock pickups on this guitar are bright and very useable.
A bolt-on neck is a cheaper feature for Les Pauls, although I will note that the expensive Fender stratocasters are all bolt-ons. An advantage of having a bolt-on neck is that if you drop your guitar and break the neck, you can just swap it out with another. A disadvantage is that if the neck is loose (or becomes loose), you will have problems with your guitar going quickly out of tune. This happened to me once with a cheap off-brand guitar. I solved it by removing the neck, then permanently gluing then bolting it to the guitar body. Some people say that bolt-ons also have less resonance since the neck wood is not completely sealed/flush with the body. This goes into wine-tasting nuance land for me, I can't tell the difference.
What else is cheaper? A regular Les Paul has two volume and two tone pots. Having said that, the only time I rotate the tone knobs on my guitars is to see if they still work. Two knobs and a pickup switch suit me just fine.
The machine heads (or tuning pegs, as some people call them) this guitar comes with are open rather than sealed, although they are covered. This was the weakest link for me. They do the job ok. I found that they worked well tuning in the sharp direction, but mine had a lot of dead travel tuning flat. This isn't a big deal and shouldn't matter as I could still get the strings in tune, but upgrading the tuners to Grovers was pretty straightforward and not that much more money. For an extra hundred, it was worth the upgrade.
Finally, I upgraded the strap buttons to locking, as I have an unlucky history of dropping guitars. Locking strap buttons attach to your guitar strap so the buttons don't slip off the guitar while you are bouncing on stage. They don't cost very much, and are a wise investment.
The Epiphone Vintage Special is slightly bigger and a bit skinnier than my Les Paul Epiphone Studio. It's roughly the same thickness as my Gibson SG. It doesn't fit in the same hard shell guitar case as the Studio. It's a bit lighter, too. I would highly recommend this guitar if you are just starting out - you can upgrade some parts if you like as you go along, or maybe just the ones that bother you. To the seasoned guitarist, I recommend it for your collection regardless. I am embarrassed to say this is probably the 20th or 25th guitar I've purchased (I lost count a while back). It's really amazingly well made for an inexpensive guitar. It looks, sounds, and feels fantastic. During my wedding planning, the caterers explained how tiers of catering work. They said - the tier of food you select has nothing to do with the quality. You can order a really good burger, or a really horrible steak. For a lower tier guitar, this one is burger-tastic!

The third epiphone guitar I've owned and this one feels like the poorest quality.
It sounds good enough, although the humbuckers seem to have almost as much hiss as single coils
Finish is good generally.
Frets are slightly poorly finished with a little abrasion on the hands as you move up and down the neck.
The biggest surprise was that the input jack cover was made of plastic and was slightly proud of the body where one of the screws hadn't been
fixed all the way.
For such a high-wear-n-tear part of a guitar you'd imagine it makes little sense to use a plastic cover just to save a few bucks.
Supplied strings are terrible, cheap, you can feel them catching slightly on your fingers. They will be going in the bin.
High E string has significant fret buzz- although the seller claimed guitar was set-up prior to despatch.
Overall, slightly disappointed, the Les Paul Express from Epiphone that I have seems better made than this

Very surprised with this guitar, I'm a teacher and bought it to keep at school for students along with myself to pick up and play, I use it with a small Fender Mustang 1, it performs brilliant. I'm fender player and wanted to try a les paul, wow awesome piece for the money. Tends to creep out of time now and again or else 5 star!

Can’t believe how good a guitar this is for the money. Seriously how is this possible? If you aren’t looking for something in the price range then don’t think twice, get this. Only very small thing is that it feels a wee bit lighter than I prefer, but this is only my preference. Five stars, it sounds amazing.

It will, obviously, never match up to a Gibson Les Paul: but I've been pleasantly surprised by the build quality and sound from this guitar. It doesn't feel cheap, and looks great. Although beware that I've heard from others that the quality control can be hit and miss: mine certainly came from the "hit" group

Out of the box, tuned up ... plugged into my ge150 and got a glorious tone, I did notice that the pickups are much louder than my other guitars so had to sort the volumes according, As ime a neck pickup guy I noticed right away the rich tone its wonderful, this guitar is a worthy pick for the new and intermediate who are looking for a cheap end les paul ...

Sounds terrible and won’t stay in tune. Neck feels uncomfortable for my hands but I guess that depends on the person playing. The finish I personally like and it’s a very light guitar. Extremely cheap but I only bought it to hang on my wall anyway so I don’t mind too much

I’ve used this guitar for the first time yesterday and I noticed the fret board has come away from the guitar body slightly the screws wouldn’t tighten up as the top 2 screw holes were worn away so it must have been sent out like that it’s my own fault for not checking it when I opened it

A pesar de los detalles que encontré, recomiendo esta guitarrra. Si la vas a regalar a un principiante, notese que puede ser necesario hacer algunas cosas para que funcione propiamente.
Lo bueno.
Lo encontré a un gran precio, que parece ser especifico de la version cherry.
Produce un buen sonido a pesar de que los Pickups parecen ser genericos chinos (no tienen branding de Epiphone (si, la desmonté))
El acabado "Vintage" luce bien
El cuerpo parece ser de una sola pieza de madera
Lo malo
Los afinadores que trae son terribles, tengo guitarras chinas sin marca que traen cosas mejores. Los acabe cambiando por unos grover (Adios garantía, pero eran malísimos)
Mucho fret buzz que no se corrige con ajuste del truss rod, parece que habra que emparejar la altura de los trastes.
Algunos trastes tienen los bordes muy filosos.

Soy músico profesional. Compré esta guitarra como regalo de cumpleaños para un familiar. Para el precio que tenía y por las opiniones que leí en Amazon decidí decantarme por este modelo. Creo que para alguien que está comenzando a tocar la guitarra es una compra con una gran relación calidad/precio. Es una guitarra fácil de tocar y tiene un buen sonido. Recomendaría este producto para todos aquellos principiantes o guitarristas que les guste tocar a modo de hobby. Destacar que el color Cereza Sunburst es algo más rojo de lo que muestran las fotos.

Not impressed. It shipped in the stock box with no added protection so via photo you can tell it got punctured. The punctured portion is not what effected the the body damage on the guitar, the head stock looks like absolute garbage as if some took a piece of pallet Wood and sanded it as smooth as they could....1 of the 2 pickups were covered the other pickup looked like it was pre used lots of scratches on it. Overall regardless of price this is not and should not be acceptable from a company like Gibson!

Epiphone è un buon marchio per il mercato entry level, chitarra curata nei dettagli ad un costo con un rapporto qualità/prezzo davvero eccellente! La finitura Vintage Edition è incredibile, opaca e vellutata, una vera sorpresa! Il suono è gradevole già con le corde e i pick-up di serie, volendo migliorare le prestazioni si possono acquistare poi pick-up e corde after market di migliore qualità, ma non sono acquisti necessari per divertirsi e imparare il primo periodo di utilizzo. Unica cosa: necessità di un settaggio: ho dovuto regolare il truss-rod del manico perché troppo convesso e poi ho sistemato il ponte per una action accettabile (il tutto abbastanza semplice). Mantiene bene l’accordatura e già da “spenta” ha un bel suono e sustain, indice di una buona qualità dei materiali. È leggera e godibile, davvero un acquisto consigliato

CONS:Horrible guitar at first, huge bow in the neck, Ultra Sharp frets, Cheap Tuner sharp selector switch....
PROS: Beautiful color and nice finish on the body and the Neck, Good pickups for the price.
I fixed guitars since 40 years and I never see a Wreck like that. I adjust the truss rod to make the neck straight , polish the fret and file ALL the fret ending, put new Strings, set the action and intonation. And Now I have a Great guitar, nice Clean and dirty sounding. Great action next step will be changing all the tuners. If you can do all that, it's a good deal, if not think buying a Squier. Some peoples said "Ready to play from the box" it was not my case, it was more ready to Return :-). Everything is a great Quality (wood, Neck, Color, Pickups Switch, Volume (pots) except the tuners. overall it's a Deal if you are able to work on a guitar or if you know someone who know that and have the tools to setup everything. When the job is Done, you have a great guitar, but before it's a surprise, some people received it perfect, but it was not my case, I even cut my fingers on the edge of the Frets!!! I never see that before, even a 95$ at Club Price is better than that. Good Luck and Enjoy! Michel Berube.

Ich kann nichts schlechtes über diese Gitarre sagen. Außer vielleicht das Mann direkt neue Saiten aufziehen sollte. Die mitgelieferten welche auf der Gitarre sins, kann ich nicht empfehlen. Aber ansonsten ist Sie super. Habe in diesem Preissegment einige Gitarren getestet, die empiphone könnte mich überzeugen. Guter Klang Verarbeitung ist auch anständig. Außerdem mag ich die Formgebung der Les Paul sehr.

A brilliant guitar, i’ve Had a couple of guitars costing twice as much and this Epiphone Les Paul Studio LT beets them all. The sound though my VOX amp in all 3 Positions sound great not muddy as you can get with some humbukers. It feels nice and comfortable in your hands. The only thing I did was to change the strings. The setup was spot on, the action was nice and low with no fret buzz and the intonation was set.

I purchased this a few years back, its was OK for what I needed. To see if I could get hooked on guitar playing and I love it to bits, but thats got nothing to do with the review. This guitar is pretty good, its got a few problems like a few rough edges on fret board and the bridge needed replacing after a year because it would no longer hold the strings. The Pickups produce alot of BUZZ and I've set it up but its still a bit shot after a year of use. basically it NEEEDS setting up. Alot of string buzz. Headstock is fine, selectors and knobs are fine. overall finish is actually very nice. Bolt on neck. Its not too bad for the price at all.
