i love my new epiphone custom
it came in good condition, although i had to make some adjustments to my preferences ,the pickups are good specially the nick pickup is very warm and the nick is snappy and bity which is great
the only bad thing was the fretboard, after playing a little bet i found my fingers turning black from the ebony wood , but after changing the strings and applying lemon oil twice it was all good
overall the guitar is a beauty and sounds amazing and i am so happy i bought it.

What can i say , this is a beauty of a guitar. I have to commend the build quality. The price when compared to the Gibson version means this is unbelievable value. My only word of caution would be if you are a newbie player you may find the Action a little hard . I am a big fan of Randy Rhoads which this guitar is synonymous with
As always great service by Thomann.

Excellent quality!
Perfect quality, the paint lays evenly, the surface is glossy in all places, the neck is shaped like a string, the frets are on the same level, all joints are made perfectly. The sound is excellent, the ebony fingerboard gives its unusual responsive effect. Incredible sustain. I am delighted with my new Epiphone Les Paul Custom!

Almost Perfect
Pro: I received this guitar today and it was almost performance ready! All that was needed were slight adjustments to the bridge and that was it. The guitar plays beautifully.
Con: I somehow expected Grover tuners (like my Epi Sheraton II Pro) but got Wilkinsons instead. Also when looking at the guitar from the 'cut' side all is flawless, but when you look at the guitar from the 'uncut' side then the finish along the base and at the top of the neck seems a bit lumpy. These are very minor cosmetic flaws to me but maybe not to others, although I will not be buying another painted guitar after this...I would rather prefer to see the wood grain. Also beware of the frets...I'm seeing scratches on the frets after bending the strings where I could have sworn there weren't scratches before. And there is a grinding feel during bending. Perhaps a polish and string change will fix things.
All in all this appears to be a decent guitar and I'm somewhat glad I purchased it...especially before the recent price jump! I'll have to keep an eye on the frets however.
