This review is from: Epiphone Les Paul Ultra-II Les Paul Collection Electric Guitar, Faded Cherry SunburstThe Finish is beautiful. It's half the weight of the real thing. Pickups sound like a PRS more than PAF. Not quite as lowdown and funky as the real thing. When you add the acoustic pickup, then it takes on that LP sound. If you like using a slide, the active pickup screams even at low volume. In fact if you like to use a slide or your fingers, you can't beat this thing. I did leave the battery in the active pickup on, and it went dead in a couple of days, my fault. Just remove the battery or shut the knob on the back off. This is a unique guitar that will take you places sonicly that you can't go with anything else. I use it with two cords and a high end 300 watt stereo tube amp and throw in some drive. All I can say is Wow. No, it is not a 40 year old LP, nothing sounds like that only the real thing. For a modern sound you can take to some real funky places, this guitar can't be beat....
This review is from: Epiphone Les Paul Ultra-II Les Paul Collection Electric Guitar, Faded Cherry SunburstThe Les Paul Ultra-II is a different beast. This is the original ultra, i purchased one two Augusts ago with a little maintenance it has defeated many of my other pricey guitars.The sound is a bit murky like fellow Les Pauls before it, you can assume though a nice hard driven rock sound, and a cutting edge solo tone. The treble and rhythm feature such a strong contrast against each other. The rhythm sounds good enough to be used on clean channel unlike many other Les Pauls. The gold alnico humbuckers and tuning pegs really add to a nicer interpretation along with the stylized burst scattered body.The guitars strap peg may fall out entirely, easy to fix. With multiple sessions put down on this guitar i find no reason why not to buy it, it endures well and plays as well as it endures! I own eight guitars (some even being the elusive Stevie Ray Vaughan sig Fender, Zakk Wylde Gibson LP, Ibanez RG, Another Epi LP ect), and have played with many guitarists/musicians. They all note how well this guitar performs. Althought it's not for sale currently i recommend you search a Guitar Center, you can find one around 500$ or less. This Epi competes well beyond the degrees of fellow higher companioned Gibson....
