Is the Epiphone Les Paul Special II a good guitar?

Question

im looking at this guitar to get but not sure if its the best

Answer 1

It's not the best.  The best would be a Gibson Les Paul or equivalent guitar from Fender or PRS. The Epi is probably good enough, however.

Answer 2

its ok. but if i were you save up and buy the epiphone les paul standard.

Answer 3

They aren't as high quality as the Gibson Les Paul, but they are still very good.  It's more than just a beginner's guitar.  If the price is right and you have the money, I don't think you'll regret getting one.

Answer 4

Get A PRS Singlecut SE, they are very good guitars, i have one and the pickups work amzingly, this or a Dean ML, depending on what style of music you play

Answer 5

well my friend has it. and my whole thing with it is the lack a decent pickups. its very muddy on most settings...and with les pauls i have always found the string had allotta fight....and a very thick neck may not be so great if you a begginner. The fretboard is very cheap and bugetty. so what i would recommend is a guitar that can grow with you. like a mim fender strat or tele standard. that can be with you for a  long time. and if your sounds changes change the pickups. just dont go with the cheapest. a standard mim tele was my first guitar and i have NEVER regretted dropping 400 on it...get a roland 15 watt cube combo and you'll be set for a bit. probably will just need a new amp when you get alot better. hope this helps
