Happy at last!,
My title is such because when Amazon shipped the guitar, I was sent the Cherry Sunburst model when I had ordered the Ebony! Amazon got me taken care of almost immediately, so I’m really happy about that.
In any event, the guitar is a GREAT value for the money. It has great tone and sustain, the neck is fast and wide making it easier to play, especially if you have big hands. I had a Squier Strat Standard at one time and it does not even come close to this guitar (or the Epiphone SG-310 I had prior to the LP-100) in quality OR sound. There’s just NO comparison.
Speaking of the SG-310, I actually think it sounds a bit better than the LP-100, however, both are very versatile and can play just about any music. Quality and construction are excellent. This is NOT a “beginner” guitar. You can perform live with it and I think it will hold up fine for YEARS!
I miss my SG and will most likely pickup another one very soon, but I don’t regret getting another LP (I had one for over 20 years). This truly is an excellent guitar for such a little price.
I’ve been playing since about ’72 and it’s easily (along with the SG) one of the best guitars I’ve owned. You really do get Gibson sound without the Gibson price tag. There are higher-level LP’s (and SG’s) with the neck thru bodies (the LP-100 and SG-310 have bolt on necks) and I may “move up” someday, but I have no complaints at all with this guitar. Didn’t have any with the SG either. Oh, yeah, higher-end models use different/better wood. Just don’t think this guitar is the “cheap stuff”…you would be very wrong if you did.
I give it 4 stars because I think the SG-310 beats it in the sound/sustain department…but JUST barely. There’s a reason the LP has been a music staple for DECADES and this model carries on that tradition.
All in all, the LP-100 was a VERY wise choice for me.

|Solid Guitar,
A guitar for the ages. I used to play guitar over 8 years ago and for some reason, stopped playing and moved on to other things. Just recently, my friend bought a Gibson SG and it was pretty sharp looking. Although, my favorite guitar has always been the les paul. But alot of the gibsons are very expensive until now. At 300$, this is a steal. Everything I expected from Epiphone making a truely genuine les paul. The sound is great, the headstock has a nice bolt on neck look, the ebony finish looks as if it just came out of the shop that day,cool looking volume knobs and the chrome plate finishes. The only thing I would say is the strings will need to be replaced. Mine are a little worn, probably thats what they give you to start but no big deal. Stays in tune all the time and plays very easilly. Definetly would recommend it to any guitarist more or less and expert player but could be for begginers to. 5 stars!

|Amazon = Good. Gibson = Bad,
I play, but I bought this for my son to use. It arrived quickly and was stunningly beautiful when I pulled it out of the box. It sounded awesome to my clumsy playing; I felt like I was a 3x better player just from using this guitar.
When my son got it, he loved it, but later on the first day he was admiring it when he noticed a crack on the back of the neck. I decided not to keep it, and called Gibson. They said they would replace it, but I would have to send it back at MY cost. Since this guitar weighs 20 pounds when boxed, I knew it would be expensive. I could understand Gibson policy if this was a warranty repair after a few months of use, but an obvious manufacturing defect THE FIRST DAY I OWNED IT was just an insane policy, so I declined. I set up a return with Amazon, and they responded immediately and got me another one (without the crack) two days later. I was extremely happy with Amazon who truly knows how to take care of their customers.
Are you listening, GIBSON?
Anyway, this is a GREAT guitar at a GREAT price. My son plays it every day and I love hearing the sound of it coming from his room.
