Epiphone Les Paul Special II Left-Handed Electric Guitar Heritage Cher...
Searched Epiphone Les Paul Special II Left-Handed Electric tar Heritage Cherry Sunburs in Reviews
Average, even for the price. 
| Sound |
The guitar sounds nothing like any of the Gibsons or epiphones I own. The wood's weight is right up there with cardboard. The pickups are very fussy, they hiss at high volume (not like the normal hiss from feedback alone).
The sound is akin to a plank with cheap electronics, the pots were loose and scratchy and even though i'll go into detail about this in the neck section, it earns merit here for the fact you can hear it, and not in a good way. The pickups are fairly mild and it is hard to tell the difference between the two, so much so that my brother who i bought this for (he is 13) asked why there were two pickups when you cant tell the difference.
I considered playing this guitar on stage to maybe. It sounds kinda sleazy through a 6505 or a dual rec. But throught the cleans on my Prosonic, classic 30, and Most channels on my marshall it lacks character and balls.

| Action, Fit, & Finish |
The guitar came set up poorly from the factory, action wass high on the bass strings, low on the treble strings, the intonation was off, one tuner was crooked, the nut was high, there was way toooooo much space in between the neck and the pocket. It needed a serious set up that cost almost as much as the guitar probably.... lucky I know a cheap tech :)

| Reliability & Durability |
My brother hasnt had any serious iddues other than fret buzz since the set up.
I would never gig without a backup.
The finish was thick but felt wayyyy to sticky.
