    • Product Description

    Classic Les Paul styling combined with a lustrous finish makes the Epiphone LP Junior Special Electric Guitar one hot-looking axe. Fast-playing neck and resonant tonewood body enhance the amazingly powerful, sustain-drenched tone of the single humbucker in the bridge position. The LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece create more sustain and make string changing easier. A fantastic first guitar or a very affordable solution for old hands who've always wanted a Junior to call their own.

    Very cool little guitars are
    I bought one used and I knew I had to change a couple things to bring from cool to great. First I am changing the bridge from this simple out dated one to a wrap around with rollers. Smooth string movement vs draging them over metal. The best selling Juniors all had a P90 pickup on it, that's this guitars signature tone. The cheap Chinese humbucker is not right for this classic. The nut is wrong, they dry out and fail. I put real bone nuts on all guitars. The stay in tune and have no failure for the life of the guitar. In this case not a lot of money makes this a real player and moves it away from kids learning guitar to a professional instrument. The photo is of the Ken Armstrong P90 pickup, it is the same size as the stock humbucker, you don't need to,tear the guitar apart to install it.

    only issue I have so far is it seems to need frequent retuning-as in, I notice the sound going flat before I'm even done practicing. This is my first guitar, so a)it's not like I'm taking this to the stage and need it to stay perfectly on key for more than, say, a half an hour, b)I'm not sure if maybe there's just something wrong with mine, and c)there might be a way to fix this, which I will look into.

    Other than that, this is a steal. Even without amps (which I have yet to get) it sounds good - none of that infernal buzzing I got while playing around with a friend's low-action guitar, yet the strings/frets don't cut into my delicate little newbie fingers. If nothing else, it looks great hanging on the wall.

    UPDATE: No more issues with the retuning! Still looks good, sounds even better than when I first got it! (Probably because I actually know how to play it now :)

    I was prepared to be disappointed. I was not. 30 years ago, one of my ambitions was to learn how to play the electric guitar. I bought a used 79 Ibenez LesPaul. I loved the guitar. The amp was a Crate. I was not enthusiastic about the sounds I was getting, and my interest waned. I read all the reviews, and most every review was correct. GREAT guitar. Than I got the Fender Mustang Amp, and the two combined revived my enthusiasm. If I had this guitar and this amp 30 years ago, I would probably still be playing.

    Sometimes its best to get yourself a goldfish before purchasing a rottweiler. This is a picture perfect starter guitar, as in brand spanking new, never even have held a guitar before..It's perfect to learn something to hold, getting used to handling, basic repairs, basic cleaning, and string replacement....If you're going to bang into walls, or screw up your truss rod, or slip with a screwdriver and leave a giant gouge in the finish, it's better that you do so with the Epiphone Les Paul and NOT the Gibson Les Paul.

    And hey, if you suck on an Epiphone, you'll be just as sucky on the Gibson, so if you get bored with it, decide that learning guitar isn't for you, you'll be glad you went with this one, you won't be out as much. If you're looking for something to smash on stage it would certainly be this one....and I'll give it this much, it holds a tone nicely and rings out like a champ.

    ...but.....ok, I'm not going to B.S. you, I wouldn't be caught dead in public with this thing. It's of the cheapest quality materials, such as the bridge and tuning machines which are just hardended plastics. Speaking of which, it sports a bridge that doesn't allow intonation, once you learn what that is youll suddenly realize just how big of a toy this thing is.....Sure with an additional $60 you could purchase a decent bridge and tuners....but what I would recommend, if you're going to start with this thing, I'd say go with the Epiphone Les Paul Special II, it's only about 20 extra, it has two humbuckers and a bridge that allows intonation adjustments....

    Remember though, goldfish before rottweiler.

    Bought this about 5 years ago and it is still playing good. It was a practice guitar for my brother and it sounds as good as it did when we bought it.

    I'd been looking at this guitar for quite a while, and finally got around to buying one....I'm glad I did, since the workmanship, finish, set-up, and hardware are all first-rate.....played perfectly right out of the box....really useable volume and tone pots allow flexibility.....tuners are smooth.....guitar stays in tune well.....light, fun guitar.....

    Not bad at all for $130. Came in the mail very very quickly and it feels extremely nice. Would definitely reccommend this to anyone who is thinking about or just starting to learn how to play. Grab Rocksmith 2014 with it too :)
