Epiphone Les Paul Custom Review

Good Points
Superficially looks like the real thing. Nice finish in black and gold.

Bad Points
Loose fittings. poor pickups. Frets can have rough edges. Very heavy (weight)

General Comments
I use this guitar in a semi-pro band together with the roland cube 60 reviewed elsewhere. Having previously used burns and fenders I was a little disappointed by the muddy sound. I have adjusted the pickups to gain a little improvement. The machine heads are a little slack and allow the strings to work loose and I have had to spend time tightening up various switches etc that have worked loose. I paid £370 for the guitar and have owned it for two years. You could add a £1000 on for the real thing so pound for pound it isn't such a bad buy, but I wish I had bought another tele instead.
