  Good Points: Very nice tone, seems to have good sustain, Im made up with the sound, although I'm not used to others to compare it with, humbuckers (2) and three way toggle switch for different combination, front, both, or back h/b, cant get into giving more sound merits as I haven't had the experience. Generally excellent, heavy (ply or basswood body)

  
  

  Bad Points: High action, the music shop assistant went off on one, showing me his skill, I was too embarrassed to play my few chords on it. He played his riffs right to the end, making the thing look like a musical greyhound and promised me some new strings and stuff ( cos I bought a stagg 15r amp also) which was a BIG mistake- it hummed like anything- mains hum and I had to bring that back and gave the staff a lecture on r.f.i. and my years in the tv trade etc. Also bit of a list this, the tuners seem a bit vague, heard lots of sadness about these.

  
  

  General comments: The Epiphone Les Paul Special II is mostly excellent but some slapdash sharp frets, buzzin strings (low e and a ) after you've reduced the tune o matic bridge. The screws for neck(4) appear to be power-tooled in at 95 degrees, not the usual 90, and the truss rod cover, same, goes for the positioning of the pickup socket-not central again. Ive loosened the truss rod 2 inches at the end of the allen key and this has improved it, next will be the nut height. This guitar wouldn't suit anyone that's not confident with diy, tools, and would set you on a new learning curve, google, youtube etc for the solutions, or just shell out to have it setup by an expert. Summing up: £109 's worth of retail therapy, cant play a damn, but i like it, and its only rock n roll and its in vintage sunburst. Now how do i get to Carnegie Hall?

  Would not hold tune. The machine heads were loose and what was so bad was I had just had taken it out of the box. I had to take it back for a refund . I think they could do better....
