I’ve always rated Epiphone LPs - I’ve had 5 over the years and still use 3 regularly. I’ve got Gibsons as well, but pound for pound, I’d take a high end epi any day. These look amazing and if there was a silver burst or one of the sparkle finishes like the Tommy Thayer models I’d be in for another. That said, I think one of the Prophecy models is next up for me, the Explorer or the Vee.

I just bought the "smokehouse burst" finish version. Love it. It's got Grover tuners! The only issue is the crappy pick guard that has rough edges. The bridge is tilted pretty high for the low strings (E, A, D) to avoid buzzing. Maybe that's normal? I think calling the neck "slim" is a bit misleading. It is a thick neck, actually. But it's a great guitar. Nice weight feels solid.

Got mine 2-3 years ago, still works great. The pickup switch started giving me trouble but all I had to do was open it and sort of "reset" the switch with some pressure. For that price it's a lot better than a Gibson, it looks amazing compared to the "cheap" Gibsons that are still over a thousand dollars
