if you value what it has to offer, it's worth every cent. in fact we should value a guitar with regards to this consideration, rather than it being the affordable offering to another more renowned brand/ model...

Most definitely it is.
I had an Epiphone Les Paul Standard that I held on to as my main guitar for about 5 years. That guitar was bloody good, alas i had to let it go for space to get another axe last year.
Frankly, most people aren't going to appreciate the differences between an Epiphone and Gibson unless they are quite experienced handling and playing a wde variety of guitars, and understand tone, what goes into it and how the various parts affect it.
If you're a beginner/intermediate and want a LP style guitar, the Epiphone is very hard to beat for its price range.

I use an epiphone gold top standard, the one with humbuckers not p90s. the pickup switch became loose, got it replaced for like $20 And i heard the colour of the finish will fade away, become duller(mine hasnt).
But i love my epiphone les paul. it will prolly be the only guitar i play for the next 10 year.. maybe forever.

i forgot to mention. the lead guitarist from ronin, Sean uses an epiphone les paul classic. I think
epiphone LP is my 1st guitar..I LIKE..
although i own an ibanez SZ quite recently, im still using epiphone LP more than SZ..
epiphone is good but check the electronics thoroughly b4 buying one..plug guitar, turn the knobs & switch..make sure there are no popping/clicking sound/noise..then bring the guitar near to the amp and listen for feedback to check the pickups...poor humbuckers are prone to unwanted noise..
when i bought mine, there was loud popping noise when i turn one of the knobs..luckily my bro repaired it for me..

Get those lps with chrome tuners or something.
The silver ones.
Tend to NOT go out of tune, lps with those glow in dark like guitar tuners, green ones. tend to go out of tune easier, like compared 2 3 yrs down the road lo.
i think so. heard feed backs from alot of my friends. i owned a lp studio before. not so bad, just that sound quite bad, change the pickups!

those green tuners can glow in the dark?? mine doesnt.
i brought my les paul so close to the amp to create feedback for this particular song, but there wasnt any feedback.
i use a made in korea les paul. not so sure how the made in china ones(the ones in sweelee) fare

oso wad do u mean the tuning of lp is known to be unstable?
meaning the lespaul is really not an axe known to stay in tune after aggresive playing. i knew someone who put on PRS locking tuners and the guitar stayed in tune perfectly.. must put pencil lead on the nut slots too..
for a epiphone lp... you cant go wrong with EMGs / seymour duncans / dimarzios / tom anderson pickups... just need to select according to taste.
