My only complaint is the tuners. The guitar has to be retuned frequently. Will be upgrading these soon with some Grovers.

5.0 out of 5 stars After a proper set-up 5 stars Damn nice guitar
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2014
Color: Vintage SunburstVerified Purchase
I am editing my previous review on this little guitar after taking the time to properly set it up, dial it in and play it for a while. I edited yet again as someone didn't appreciate my "gloating" over other guitars I own. Sorry to offend YOU.
I made a knee jerk review (again) right after I got this. But in all fairness I received my Gibson Les Paul on the same day, buying IT from my local music store and professionally set up, ready to go. I was comparing apples and oranges, so to speak. But now, even after comparing them to each other, they really aren't that far apart.
The Gibson is the best guitar I've ever owned and made my previous comparison based on it. But this little baby is now my second favorite.
My other review was NOT FAIR!!!!!! I paid a lot more for the Gibson and 149 bucks for this Epiphone. Dollar for dollar this little Ephiphone is a steal!!!! WOW!!!
I must honestly admit, the edge goes to my Gibson, but not by as much as you'd think. This little Epiphone is an outstanding guitar, regardless of price. If I were to play them each blindfolded I would never guess one was $149 guitar, ever! The tone of the Epiphone is much like the Gibson Les Paul. It's easy to play, comfortable and has a sweet sound. I can either rock out with it or mellow out and play the blues or classic rock.
To be honest, I will probably play this Epiphone a LOT more than the Gibson. After all, if I ding this one up I haven't broke the bank. I think I'll tend to use this one a lot more than the other.
I am very happy with this Epiphone Les Paul and will proudly play and OWN it. I am amazed they can make this thing for the money they charge. I may purchase another one and put it away as I'm sure the price won't stay this low. PLUS, I'll get another one in a different color!! You can never have too many guitars.. I am going to an a pickguard to this one. The finish on it is outstanding and I'd like to keep it that way.
If I were thinking of learning to play the guitar, this one is a no-brainer....BUY IT!!!
If you're an established player looking for a really nice practice guitar, I'd buy this one is a heartbeat. I was shocked at how sweet it sounds, how good it looks, how comfortable and light it is and how well it plays. Sure it was way out of tune and required a few height adjustments but now it is FANTASTIC.
New rule for me, no writing reviews until I own the product for at least one week!!!!!

Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2016
Color: Vintage SunburstVerified Purchase
ok 1st, it was shipped and received on time, it was in double boxes, the inside guitar box had extra packing, outside box was secure and sufficient. 2nd the guitar was packed and totally covered well. 3rd it had epiphone owners manual, a neck wrench, extra info and an epiphone guitar case/window/bumper sticker, all in a big zip lock bag. 4th the sunburst was flawless and absolutey beautiful, smooth and shiny. 5th the neck and bridge is set well from factory, am sure it will be tweaked after a few hours, the neck is bolted well and frets are right, the tuners work well and are easy to handle, the strings are medium good quality 6th the pickups are fantastic, the toggle switch is heavy and easy located, volume and tone knobs are speed knobs easy located, the cable input is heavy and cable is tight, strap nuts are good quality and secure, 7th and best part, it sounds fantastic on all pickup selections, it is very easy to play, All said this is a fantastic guitar, the price is great, play ability is great, The Epiphone Special 11 LE is the biggest bang for the buck you will ever get, my qualifications to evaluate is ive been songwriting performing various genres of music for 45 years, ive owned high end guitars and different types of equipment, and played venues large and small, and toured. Finally, why do I promote this guitar so highly, For the love of music, in the hope that some child will be interested and some parent wont be duped into buying expensive things that may or may not be as well built as this guitar, it can make a difference if a person holds interest, and perhaps an adult can continue in their own efforts and enjoy better, this is a simple and great guitar, thank you for your time to read this, and please enjoy the music you make with this fantastic guitar.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great guitar for a bargain price
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 4, 2018
Color: EbonyVerified Purchase
Nice looking guitar, well made & very light. The guitar has a very nice, loud sound due to the humbucker pick ups. It is very good for rock music, but can also be used for clean tunes. The build quality & finishing is very good for the price, there are no rough or sharp edges on the neckboard, frets etc. and everything appears well put together. The guitar is easy to hold and the neck is reasonably narrow, making chords etc easy to play. The only slight problem I had was that the B string ( 2nd string ) could not be tuned, I solved this by unwinding the string & rewinding it onto the post again. After doing this the string could be tuned & stayed in tune. As with all new guitar strings, it needs to be played a few times & retuned a few times until the strings are bedded in and then it stays in tune. There are many posts on the internet about people buying this guitar & then upgrading pick ups, tuners etc, but, in my opinion, this is not necessary, the guitar plays & sounds good as it is. If you want to do that, it would be easier just buying a more expensive guitar in the first place. This is the second guitar I have bought from Amazon Warehouse, and both have been in excellent condition, with no visible damage & with all the manufacturers information, original box etc included. I would buy from there again, as I have two guitars in excellent condition for a bargain price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibile qualità per il suo prezzo
Reviewed in Italy on March 1, 2018
Color: Vintage SunburstVerified Purchase
Acquistata solo per curiosità. Sono possessore di altre chitarre di classe professionale e questa non sfigura assolutamente sia come suono che come agibilità. Facilissimo regolare l'action e l'accordatura tiene abbastanza essendo comunque ancora nuova. Da consigliare a tutti come strumento da studio e da strapazzare. Ottimo per modifiche ed esperimenti. Piccola leggera comoda. Le rifiniture del mio esemplare sono perfette. Nessuna critica e nessuna imperfezione. Unico appunto: il selettore dei pick up ha richiesto un poco di petrolio perché faceva male contatto sul PU del ponte. Prezzo incredibile conn consegna a casa in due giorni.
