Our number one selling model is more than just about the price. The Epiphone Special II is a great way for beginners to get started on guitar with real, Les Paul tone, but seasoned pros love the Special II because it's a great-sounding, workhorse guitar that lets them leave their more expensive axes at home. The authentic LP power starts with all-Mahogany construction with a Rosewood fingerboard and is voiced by a pair of hot open-coil 700T and 650R Humbucker pickups. Like all of our electric guitars, it comes standard-equipped with 500K Ohms potentiometers, our own heavy-duty 3-way pickup selector toggle switch and non-rotating heavy duty output jack. This value-champ also features Chrome hardware including the Epiphone LockTone™ locking Tune-o-matic bridge and Stop-bar tailpiece for amazing sustain and even more mind-blowing value.

 "what was i thinking" 2010-10-24
By judybrownsen (New York, Queens)
I bought this for my son. What was I thinking? I play some guitar myslelf and figured it would make some nice times together for us. I am almost deaf, but am very happy with the quality and sound of the quitar. We have been strumming on it now for a couple of months- and I am impressed. Money's worth for sure.

 "Super value for the money. If you're on a budget, this is an outstanding choice...," 2010-10-04
By APC Reviews (USA)
The Epiphone LP Special II Les Paul Collection Electric Guitar is a GREAT GUITAR for $169.00 (The average selling price at the time of this review). The pickups, tune-o-matic bridge and stop piece are the same ones used in Epiphone's more expensive guitars, and are similar to what's used in much more expensive Gibsons. Although the tone adjustments have been simplified to a toggle between the three pickup combinations and an overall tone control for both pickups, this is not as big a deal as many might make of it. Given the vast array of other things that influence electric guitar sound -- strings, amp choice and settings, effects pedals and so forth -- the guitar sounds great as is.



The finish and general fit and balance of the guitar are great. There was a time when budget guitars screamed cheap and were quite obviously low class in a lot of areas. Those days are past with the Epiphone LP Special II.



All that said, there a few things to remember.



* The guitar comes with very light bendy strings. This is probably due to market data that tells Epiphone that the bulk of buyers for this guitar are teen Guitar Heros who think that string bending every note is an essential aspect of shredding and wailing. If you plan to put heavier strings on the guitar (like 12-51s for example) for jazz or other styles of music then you will probably need a truss rod adjustment to compensate for the added tension. If you don't know how to do this, ask someone who does. You can ruin a guitar, permanently, by being too aggressive with a truss rod adjustment.



* The guitar has a mahogany neck, but a basswood body. Do not let anyone tell you this is a bad thing. Basswood is a completely acceptable wood for musical instruments. It is not worse or better than mahogany or maple. It is just different. Once again, the differences involved will probably be irrelevant when added into all the other things that players do with amps, strings and pedals to create tone and sound from an electric guitar.



* Epiphone has more than one factory making these guitars. One is in China, the other in is Indonesia. The guitars made by each are very close in every detail, but not exactly, perfectly the same.



* The Chinese examples of the sunburst model that I have seen have a slightly golden-orange tone to the sunburst pattern, more like the traditional sunburst color in American guitars. The Indonesian examples I have seen have a much more over all orange look. Basswood does not have a lot of visible grain. The example guitar shown in the official Epiphone product photos, the photos you see on most web sites like Amazon and Musician's Friend and so forth, are probably a little optimistic when it comes to visible grain and the golden hued quality of the sunburst finish.



* The Chinese examples I have seen tend to weigh more. One Indonesian model I saw weighed a full pound and half less than the Chinese model right next to it. There is not, unfortunately, any way to tell from the box or from the barcode or SKU number on the box what factory a given example inisde the box came from. The system will deal out whatever is in stock at the moment.



The world is full of guys who will zero in on all the details they find inferior about this guitar by noting the rather obvious fact that this is not a Gibson Les Paul Standard costing $3,000.00. There are some people who will complain that this guitar has a bolt on neck. True, the set necks of the more expensive Epiphones and Gibsons are nicer. But, considering the fact that every Fender Stratocaster ever made had a bolt on neck, is this really a big deal? Would Jimi Hendrix have played "Purple Haze" better if his Strat had a set in neck? Probably not.



The guitar this model is probably closest to, in spirit and purpose, is not the Gibson Les Pauls but, rather, to the old Gibson Melody Maker guitars from the 60s. That said, this is a hell of lot more guitar for the money than any Melody Maker ever was, and adjusted for inflation, relative to what a Melody Maker would have cost you in 1968, for example, it is almost like Epiphone paying you to play it.



People listen to music, not guitars. Music is made by players, not by pickups and electronics. If you're on a budget, this is an outstanding choice. If you're not on a budget, it's still a very good basic instrument. RECOMMENDED.

 "Black guitar has 4 good reason,s but mostly for style" 2009-09-04
By Tina R. Clark (Fairfax, VA USA)
The Black guitar looks wonderful. I kept the poster on my wall and marked it. But The

strings sounded softly and it was out tuned (duh). I accidentally Broke a string

which i wounded up too much with the head and broke another trying to replace (even with reading the instructions).So since that didn't work I will have to go to the music store and get a new string (E-1). I will have to get my Dad to do it this time.





The style is really good. It shows that it is very pricey and That I saved up allot. I had 2 other reasons, Let a friend come and play and play bye Myself with sweet sound but not without a missing string.



UPS just laid it there at the door so you don't really have to sign up.



Or maybe????

 "Great Guitar for the Price" 2010-07-31
By dylan
I purchased this guitar about a month ago and fell in love with it! It looks great! It got here in 5 days, so its very fast service. When i plugged it into my amp, i was very pleased. The sound these pickups produce is very nice! Having said those things, i have played on a Les Paul Standard and a Les Paul Custom(hirer end les paul designs) and they are build with much hirer quality materials and have better pickups. BUT, the Les Paul 100 is still the best guitar for its price i have ever played on! If you have a budget and want a high quality guitar, buy an Epiphone Les Paul 100!

 "Happy at last!" 2010-06-05
By olds_cool63 (Maricopa, AZ)
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" 2009-08-12
By Brandon
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!

 ""Les Paul"- The DVD (The Interview with Jon Chappell)" 2010-03-04
By Janet Saccardi (york, pa)
"Les Paul"- "Les Paul (Instructional DVD For

Guitar)" this DVD produced by the Hal Leonard Corporation is a 90 minute sit down interview with Jon Chappell and the legendary Les Paul. Now that may not sound exciting, but when you stop to consider who Les Paul was,and the contributions he made to modern music and the then nascent recording industry, it borders on "must see" viewing. For those who don't know, Les Paul invented the electric guitar. Today it is the world's number one musical instrument. He would also perfect the technology of what he called "sound on sound", and what today is known as multi-track recording. All of this and more, are reviewed and explained at length in this in-depth "Les Paul" DVD. Interspersed with the Jon Chappell interview is live video footage shot during the last twenty years, of Les Paul and his band playing in New York jazz clubs. As well as historic early television footage from the 1950's, coming from Les Paul's own television show, "The Les Paul Mary Ford Show". This television footage is important, not only to the life of Les Paul, but to the history and development of television and multi-media as well. During the interview Les Paul will discuss the electric guitar, and it's place in music. He explains how he improvised both jazz guitar and blues guitar lines live in concert. He demonstrates the electric guitar techniques of guitar slides, guitar hammers, and guitar bends. All of which he helped to introduce and make popular, to guitar players around the world. Les Paul then reveals how he invented the electric guitar in the late 1920's, and the ten years it took for him to convince the Gibson Guitar Company to buy both his electric guitar, and it's accompanying amplifier. He had invented the guitar amplifier of course, to amplify the sound coming from the electric guitar strings. He goes on to explain how he sold his "sound on sound" recording machine, or multi-track recorder to AMPEX. His recording career (he and Mary Ford sold 20 million records) with Capitol Records is also covered. Please don't miss this "Les Paul- Instructional DVD For Guitar" DVD. It really does enlighten and educate it's viewers about one of the most important figures in 20th Century music, the recording industry, recording technology, and multi-media. All of which are becoming more prominent in this 21st Century. Many people working in these areas today, enjoy the fruits of Les Paul's labor. Hopefully this little review will be helpful for guitar players, music and multi-media people. [...].

While I can't sit down with Les personally and ask questions of this man this hour long chat was a romp through the years. Any Fan will enjoy this a lot. I got this after the Chasing sound DVD.

 "Great case for Epis and GibsonsI " 2008-02-03
By Hunter Hadlock (Key West, FL)
I got one of these second hand, and was happy to find out when I took it to the store that not only did the Epiphone I ended up buying fit in it, but so did the $900+ Gibson models, as well! Perhaps not a concern for everyone, but it's nice to know if you upgrade to a used Gibson down the road, it'll fit. Fit and finish is great, very solidly built. The top gives very slightly, but unless you were to jump (not just step) on it, it's unlikely you'd damage the guitar inside. Such a small amount for a case is a small investment for a $250+ guitar.

 "Fits well and very durable" 2007-12-11
By Evan Anderson
This case it built really well, it has really nice plush interior... storage area for picks-strings-tuning fork-etc in the neck, it DOES have a lock on one of the latches. The case actually kind of stuck the first few days after i got; so much so that i thought it was locked with the key inside when i first got it. Turns out thats actually impossible to do with this case unless you have an extra key... so dont worry. Just dont be an idiot like me and give it a good tug when you get it.



Above all it fits my Epi LP perfectly... as it should! hehe.
