Comments about Epiphone Les Paul Studio Tone:

pretty tight guitar, pickups arent great for effect playing but great on clean tone with a bit of reverb, i run this though a Digitech RP80 effects processer into an Ashton GA100 guitar combo, it performs well up loud no feed back or tremendous buzz just with thick effects it tends to give up and distort but never the less a great guitar

Comments about Epiphone Les Paul Studio Quality:

i found no real finish or constuction flaws ,just a bit of fret buzz but i put a tiny peice of paper in the nut and raised the the bridge and saddle assembly without to much string height off the fret yes, this instument doenst say in tune real well but iff u save another $60 get some Traditional LP gotoh tuners there great and keep it stage worthy

i continue to use this guitar on stage , its verry light and u can throw it around without getting it to damaged(thats why i bought it) i recomend this guitar to any extreem stage performers , its easy to play and "thrashable"

the tuners sucked, the buzz was anoying but thats it ( it makes you a better guitarist if you figure out wats wrong and fix it and customise it) the only other thing is i wish it was a gibson
