Epiphone Les Paul Special VE VWVS Vintage Worn Vintage Sunburst - Single Cut Electric Guitar

Product Information

I liked to use a slide with it, but, after a while of doing that, the high E would snap at the bridge thing, after an "aggressive" slide work out. If you’ll allow me to go on one more personal tirade, I should say how eye opening, and strange this review has been for me. And the Epiphone Les Paul Special VE still features the legendary LP Mahogany neck and Rosewood fretboard that adds the rich harmonic content this model is known for.

Being new to the humbucker world, I’m definitely open to suggestions and information on some lower output/more articulate styles of humbuckers in the comment section below. They will easily do the job for someone starting out, and someone more experienced can always adjust the height or even change out the pickups altogether. You’ll find much better hardware in the ESP LTD EC-10—its tuners are high-grade and actually hold pitch, for starters.You realy can't go wrong with a LP Special of Studio model, however bumping my strings u to D'Addario 10's from 9's did seem to add more cool factor for me. The body of the Les Paul Special VE has been crafted from light Poplar and cut to the same, iconic Les Paul profile as all genuine Les Paul guitars, with the single cutaway design allowing for easy reach of the higher frets – perfect for solos.

I’ve been playing guitar since I was 14, I’m 25 now and for that whole period I’ve firmly sat in the Fender camp of electric guitars (other than a few Danelectros). Fixed or Hardtail bridges have great tuning stability and are easily retuned or drop tuned without affecting the remaining strings. Yes, sorry I was really thinking about Megafrog's post saying " the models in your poll are purely for beginners, modders or someone who wants to destroy a cheap instrument" and "they are pretty chintzy guitars", which I would disagree with (no disrespect meant to Megafrog).Nothing in particular jumps out, but on a personal anecdote this is my first real experience with the Tune-o-matic style bridge and I have to say I’m impressed.

I like that guys videos as he gets a great sound in all the ones I've seen him do and makes pretty much any instrument sound as good as it can. Here’s a quick overview of how the Special VE compares to some similar guitars: Epiphone Les Paul Special Vintage Edition vs. The Epiphone Les Paul Special VE (Vintage Edition) features a vintage worn finish in a vibrant cherry sunburst. Because nearly all guitars can be adjusted, you can usually find a happy medium between comfort and tone. The problem was that this only came with a 10 watt amp and the 15 watt amps were out of production as was the Performance pack and Epiphone Goth SG Electric Guitar Performance Pack.

Also, some of the frets 'buzz', but I have greatly improved it's performance by raising the bridge slightly (low E side) and adjusting the truss rod just a bit.

Most electric guitars have between 21 and 24 frets which allows you to play pretty much everything you can imagine. Further, the young student can express his individuality, learn to be self reliant, and learn the great lessons of relentless steady effort. The EC-10’s neck finish is much smoother than the Les Paul’s, but its engineered wood fretboard can’t compare to the LP’s rosewood. I spend my spare time exercising and hanging out with my wife and crazy dog(I guess that went the right way…).If I could stress one thing, it's that both of these guitars are an excellent value, and they’re both very well made. Its easy playability, quality construction, and beefy humbucker-driven tone make it a prized starter electric guitar. Tuning this instrument is fast and reliable thanks to the Epiphone Premium Covered tuners with a 14:1 ratio.
