Comments about Epiphone Les Paul Classic Quality:

I couldn't believe the quality of this guitar. The neck was flawless with very low action and no buzzing at all. I was expecting a cheap finish but was impressed with the look of the guitar

Epiphone Les Paul Classic Overall Rating:

9/10

Epiphone Les Paul Classic Pros:

I have a Gibson Les Paul Custom and was worried the Epiphone model would be too much of a compromise. Man was I wrong. It has the weight and feel of my Custom at about a quarter of the price. I replace my original Custom pickups but as of right now, I have no intention of changing the pickups in the Epiphone. This guitar is a quality piece of furniture and is playable right out of the box.

Epiphone Les Paul Classic Cons:

Nothing about this guitar has disappointed me.
