I have a LP special version of this one. It's a great mod platform. The tuners were terrible. I swapped the tuners, nut and the pickups and it's a real player now.

nice...if you want a light comfortable easy to wield guitar, I think these babies tend to be lighter than most other gibson and fender guitars. excellent fret access all the way down the neck. If you tend to dislike most Gibson families electric guitar, then this is probably the exception to the rule, you'll probably love it (esp if coming from the fender side of things)

also, my friend above is correct. if you are patient on ebay, reverb, fb marketplace, craigslist or find good sales at the big internet music stores, you can get some locking tuners to take this bad boy to a 'whole nother level! Could a bigsby be in your future?! Magic 8 ball says "all signs point to yes"

Bought one of these sometime back. They're well built for the money, but the pickups and tuners aren't the best. Swapped them out with some spare Grovers and Burstbucker Pros I had laying around. Great office guitar now!

Would this be good for someone thinking about learning guitar electronically?

Dont be silly. She won't kill you. She'll call the police and false accuse you and they will haul you away.

Yes.

This is _the_ deal to buy an inexpensive new electric guitar, imho.

How is the neck and frets from factory? If fit and finish there is good, I might pick it up and do the same!

Epiphone makes great inexpensive guitars for beginners to buy with limited guilt. I absolutely love the Pelham Blue color. Dave Grohl look out.
