Open Box Epiphone Les Paul Custom Blackback Limited-Edition Electric Guitar Level 2 Antique Ivory 197881363727

Picked one up 2 months ago and this thing plays incredible, it is also the most beautiful guitar I own and love the colors. When I went to guitar center it was my favorite in the whole store too

This Epiphone holds its own with my Gibson LP Standard. Nice feel easy to play.

This guitar is beautiful with a great sound from pickups. The neck is pretty thin, but with a nice fret width. The G string wants to go flat every few minutes, so you are getting the true Les Paul experience with this guitar. Playability is good out of the box. Action was low enough for me and the neck had only a slight up bow. The action could easily be set lower for those who prefer that. I decided to clean and oil the fret board and to smooth out the fret edges. The fret edges were surprisingly sharp, presumably due to some drying of the fretboard after it's manufacture. This is my only complaint with the guitar, and is easy enough to correct. The pickup switch is sturdy on this unit, and the tone knobs give a decent range of adjustment throughout its travel. The coil split option is great to have on this guitar and works well. #sweepstakes

I have been playing for over 50 years and have had a lot of guitars. I play a steady gig at a pub and thought I needed a guitar for some jazz work. After all the reviews, and there were many, I decided on the Epiphone Les Paul Custom Blackback. I have a les Paul studio and it is also a fantastic guitar. This one was a treat for myself and it is stunning. The neck is a little wider than the studio which I like for doing jazz work. It is thin and tapered and very comfortable. It is loaded with nice features and matched with my Fender Blues Jr. It sounds great. I changed the 10 strings for 11's for jazz and that was all I had to do other than a very slight turn on the neck rod to account for the new strings. Buy it!

The finish and details on this thing are very, very good. It sounds terrific as well! Frets could use a little work, we've got some sharper edges that could be rounded a bit. Overall I'm very happy with this thing. And again, the finish is fantastic!!!

So far I love it. Haven't gigged yet, but not worried. Stunning looks. I've never seen the gold skirts around pickups before. Dazzling. Tuners are a godsend with the slow ratio. I played a bunch of Epiphone Les Pauls at guitar center. They sounded the same. Then this! My Baby!
