    Customer Reviews:

    Let me start off by saying, I have been playing for 4-5 years, self taught, and I consider myself an intermediate-advanced player. I play blues, metal, classic rock, as well as hard rock (Black Stone Cherry, etc.) I own a very beginner amp because I am so intelligent that I spent all my money on the guitars and very little on an amp- ...

  • lol a woman talking about guitars

  • o my god the acoustic riff is amazing,it takes you away to another place....

  • Paul "Treble" Riario

  • who has the best job in the world? Paul Riario, that's who !

  • the acoustic is just like my strat in the neck :/ this is dissapointing also if you want to switch out of acoustic and magnetic pups buy the ultra 3 it has a button for that

  • Comment removed

  • @growguyuk. Yes I did buy it online, havent actually had it delivered yet. If I dont hear from them shortly, I might send it back unwrapped. Thanks for the info.

  • @KhaarJoon. I sent them an E-Mail last night asking to pay the new price. As I expected, no reply.

  • Ive just agreed to pay £349 for this guitar yesterday, and now find it reduced to £299.......one day later. Are AndertonesMusic taking the piss, or what ??

  • @branjasp yeah I saw that on their site, christmas reductions glad i havent bought mine yet. ask for the difference back

  • @branjasp If you bought online, you have a legal right to return the intem within 14 days-provided it is in the same condition as when you purchased. Its called the "Distance Selling Regulations"

  • i wish i had 449€

  • Todays Epiphones are the very best in top professional quality most certainly some of best guitars in the world. Epiphones only down fall is that there so under priced for the top quality they deliver today. I would never choose Gibson over Epiphone today

  • I've just taken delivery of one these guitars, and for the money it is an absolute bargain. I've been using Gibson Lesters for the past 33 years (I currently have two Standards) and the Epiphone,compares favourably, considering the price. Anybody thinking about buying one: snap it up, before they are all gone.

  • This guitar is now on sale at Andertons in the UK for only £349!!

  • @AndertonsMusic does it come with the footswitch?

  • @ChaosBurnsWithin No but you can use any AB line selector to achieve the same thing. The one he uses in the video costs about £130 but if you search our website for Boss AB-2 you can pick up a pedal from Boss to do the same thing for just £35

  • @AndertonsMusic Thanks Andertons! I'll deffinately keep this in mind. How long does it stay on sale for?

  • @ChaosBurnsWithin while stocks last and then no more! But We're only giving away the extra bundles with those sold before end of December. You get a Neutrik Jack Cable, Guitar Stand, and padded leather strap included in the £349

  • @AndertonsMusic Deffinately sounds like something ill ask for. Thanks for the heads up guys! And merry christmas!

  • Paul should get his own signature Les Paul. The Les Paul Riario! \m/

  • does anyone have any advice? I wanna buy an epiphone les paul and i am looking for the Epiphone Les Paul custom... is it a good guitar to buy as a second guitar?

  • I really think that the 'acoustic' mono input is more like a single coil sound than anything.

  • @JEUXolim yes i agree my telecaster can easily get that sound

  • @JEUXolim Here, too??? I guess we are both 3DD and Les Paul addicts, or am I wrong?.. Are you planning to buy this guitar?

  • @Adiaf8oros Umm, who are you? Yes I am a 3DD addict and yes a Les Paul addict, haha. But I must say I am not a huge fan of the ultra 2

  • @JEUXolim I have the Ultra 2, the Nanomag gets you into some impossible for the other Les Pauls sound, and the finish (midnight ebony) is quite spectacular too... But it's no Gibson, of course (you get what you pay for). Anyway, everytime that I comment about Daniel Adair or the "vocals" of Matt Roberts or anything, you are always there to reply (*disagree), and I was just surprised to find you here, too. Keep on rocking...

  • @Adiaf8oros Ohhh I see, you're the one who likes Daniel on drums. I love Greg on drums, I think he fits the band better but I can see what you mean, Daniel was amazing and I liked his back up vocals.

  • think about that guitar, with coil tap!

  • I own this guitar and I have to say that it has the most amazing sound you could imagine! If your looking for a guitar you can't go wrong with thi one! It really is a thing of beauty.

  • makes me wonder why they dont make a version with an FR pro and 24 frets and have everyone get one of these. cuz itd be the only guitar we'd ever need. who's with me?

  • @ChaosBurnsWithin I kinda disagree, floyd roses are sometimes more trouble than they're worth. I prefer a grounded bridge, tightened to be sitting right on the body.

  • @TheDancingSaxophone as in keep this one, then have another FR model. cuz some people love FR's others dont. lol

  • lots of range in the tone of this guitar! sounds nice

  • Amazing pure amazing this guitar is on the christmas list

  • @Chevelle2025 i got it, i asked for a special II but got this, arent parents great :D

  • 3:29 He said "off" in such a heavy new york accent :P

  • @mrciaran96 Lol x)

  • This demo is a great example of the tones you get by running this guitar into only an electric amp. For a great demo of what it sounds like with an acoustic amp and an electric amp, watch the Official Epiphone Les Paul Ultra 3 Demo. two amps is the way to go for great acoustic and electric tones. Hope this helps clarify this.

  • What with all these guitarists and funny hats? Why do i have an urge to wear funny hats after playing guitar?

  • How fuckin cool is that?

  • this guys playing could sell me a first act.

  • Wow! When he drives the acoustic and the electric pickups, it sounds like a strat O:

  • wait i need an acoustic amp and electric amp ? ?

  • @TheArik199797 No, you can use only an electric amp like he is here. but, an acoustic amp for around 300 bucks definately sounds way better. The offical epiphone demo they do just that. Either 2 amps, or a pa, i'm not sure. Kinda confusing i know.

  • paul reviewing les paul

  • This moron irritates me!!!...

    He doesn't play what the fuck it?!..

  • @DarkEssence17 Why is he a moron? Paul rocks!

  • @DarkEssence17

    That moron is a great guitar player!

  • @DarkEssence17 : That moron also has a better job than you, so suck it up.

  • @DJParkesie959II Fuck you,Damb!

  • @DarkEssence17 : Wow, finally replied eh? Got a good laugh out of this. ;)

  • i'm sick of seeing fucking new guitars with all this useless technology in it. just make a guitar that really sounds good like they used to. give a guitar real tone, not a fucking USB port.

  • the ad came in DURING the video. bull >:[

  • Are them selector switches expensive?

  • how much?

  • @guitardude920 749.00 on Musiciansfriend

  • He moves his head too much gah

  • i want it :O

  • 0:00 to skip

  • sounds great!

  • you can buy that guitar or buy an acoustic pedal

  • Fuck Yarr Epiphown Les Powl

  • Enough talking, like Plato said, Guitar ludo vestri et conclude (Shut up and play your guitar)

  • in you guys opinion, this guitar or the schecter c1 plus, thanks

  • @fallout3yeah I have a schecter and it is great for its EMG pu's but EMGs only sound like EMGs. I'm looking at one of these to diversify the sound of the guitars on my home recordings. I think 1 guitar with EMGs and 1 with AlNiCos or AlNiCos w/acoustic is a great combo.

  • hey does anyone know if you can coil tap the humbuckers and also if you can switch the humbuckers without effecting the nanomag

  • @zippyXL You can have it work as a regular 3 knob electric Les Paul by just muting the nano mag, but no, you cant coil-split.

  • @PEZEMILIO can you change the humbuckers without effecting the nanomag

  • why not just get an acoustic similuator pedal and run it thru that?

  • @keithsa41 this is a bit cheaper and quote on quote "innovative".

  • He moves his head to much

  • Can you give me any Informations about the guitar Les Paul Ultra 2 ME because I would buy this E-Guitar!

    Thank you

  • just stop and playin dude.gosh

  • this guitar or a gibson les paul studio? decisions decision

  • @bodger2471 GIBSON les paul studio ALL THE WAY!

  • @bodger2471

    Go for Gibson les paul studio!

    I've got the Ultra 2. Nanomag sucks hard. 

  • the church band special

  • its cool to have a rhythm knob, cause when you turn it on you can play nothing but rhythm which is a neat feature if you know you cant play solos, by turning the knob to full in live situations, you wont even try playing solos and you wont dissapoint the crowd <3

  • Can anybody please tell me how is it with the battery on this guitar i am really concidering too buy this guitar thanks :).

  • @NinoAndJakobTV it is a simple 9v batery ;)

  • @CAshine64 Thank you very much but how long does it last :)?

  • @NinoAndJakobTV that is the bad news, it only last like for 2 ore 1 week :( but it does the job

  • @CAshine64 Ok thanks :)

  • Nice guitar! I like the way it sounds. Thanks for showing the acoustic and electric sounds from the guitar. The selector switch looks very simple. It's just as simple as the tone switch that's on the guitar. To me, the rythme / lead switch that's on the upper part of the guitar works great as well. So the selector switch and tone controls give the player nice tone options.

  • What do you think can be the advantages/disadvantages to having an Epiphone Les Paul Ultra 2 instead of a regular Les Paul with a piezo bridge system?

  • electric guitars are meant to be fun to play and easy to use. The last thing I want to go when being in the middle of a gig is have to faf around with the control knobs to get the perfect acoustic and electric sounds. Its hard enough doing that with just normal pickups. Its a pain in the arse to have to switch on and off the pickups using the control knobs. IMHO this is more for the poseing factor

  • The engineers team leader was fired after placing those buttons on the back of the guitar. (Guitar wolrd press 01/20/2011 )

    jk.

  • @Maltasor i think its way beyond empty by zakk wylde

  • One Man Band Selector

  • this is an orgasmic guitar =0 LOL

  • where is this epi LP ultra 2 made? what about the sustain? any good? thanks!

  • too complicated. its cool, but it would be way too much for me. i prefer a regular acoustic and a regular electric.

  • I didnt get it... how does he switch between the dist electric sound to clean acoustic?

    I mean, if the dist is coming from the amp than both of the acoustic and electric gutiat sound should be with dist. Does it plugged to 2 different amps? or he got a pedal between the electric guitar output to the switcher? or the electric guitar is dist only?

    I ended up this video with alot of questions...

    But good sound though

    Pretty cool

  • @236987451 It is very very simple. The electric pickups' sound goes to an amp and the nanomag's sound goes to another, so with two amps and a selector switch you can bounce between sounds. And if you're playing with just one amp, you can just simply turn on and off the pickups you want to use.

  • @qwertyuiop46853 But lets say i play with one amp, and i use the amp's built in distortion...

    And i plug in all the pickups to this amp... The acoustic sound will be distorted!

  • @236987451 When you use all three pickups on mono, you get some tones reminiscent of semi-hollow/hollow bodied guitars. Glad I could help.

  • Would you recommend a cheap copy? Just les pauls are SO EXPENCIVE!

  • was thinking of trading off this guitar for the new santana se, this is really my go to guitar right now but would love better access of upper frets and the trem of the santana. I have a variax on order but it will be probably fall before that comes.

  • dude just play....

  • SEXY ASS EPIPHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

  • With what kind of fender can we compare with This ultra 2?, cuz i'm thinking to buy a jaguar special hh, jazzmaster special or this epiphone ultra 2. Please people give an advice here or send a message to my inbox.

    Thank you so much, for your advices.

  • @CheloviRock take the epiphone, it sounds deeper, which is better for rock n u can get plenty of different sounds compared to fenders

  • I would prefer a piezo pick up. Easier to use, and imo, better sounding

  • What a fabulous guitar.

  • i sort of get it... it's cleverly hidden :D :B

  • combining both its sounds like a fender

  • i've got thoughts in buying this guitar, i wounder what you think? is it a good guitar?

  • @hassekarl I have it and love it. Very beautiful (I have it in midnight ebony), and with the nanomag you can achieve tones impossible for other LPs... Even some Tele sounding tones! (Y) +You can separately plug the nanomag into an acoustic amp due to the 2 jacks the Ultra2 has... I could use some more treble in the Bridge pickup, but it's fine, after all you get a LP, you expect it to have a fat sound... But damn that guitar is versatile.

  • Marty McFly

  • you can recognize him a mile away, just by looking at the was he sits XD

  • wanneer komt de linkshandige versie ?

  • fantastica la epiphone

    

  • Very good, very helpful demo.

  • HMMM. He could be using two amps, but the nanomag pickup does clean up the sound because it has less output than the humbuckers. It sounds clean even on a dirty channel, like turning done the volume knob. But you could be right.

  • can u please turn off ur fart DRIVE for just a second !

  • this is heavy Doc... You made a time machine out of a Les Paul!!!

  • This is a sweet guitar!!! I just got one a couple of weeks ago. You can get great classic rock tones, and with the right amp and distortion pedal, great Modern rock and metal tones. Add to that the Nano Mag pickup, wich you must use an acoustic amp or go into a PA for really Authentic Acoustic tones, and the awesome finish and feel= ONE GREAT VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY!! And anyone who says you can't play rock or metal with a semi hollow guitar... EVER HERE OF TED NUGENT??? Old school Nuge though.

  • Whats up with Paul's goofy hat?

  • Marty McFly comin' at you

  • This actually sounds almost exactly the same as my fender strat ..if I mess around with the tone and pitch and the pick ups..it sounds pretty much the same :P

  • I have a question:

    If he is using an overdrive channel from his amplifier, why when he changes the output with his selector switch the acoustic pickup sounds without any distortion?

    I can't understand it

  • hi, pls help. how does the ultra1 compare to the epi lp tribute? im not sure what the differences are n what to buy.

  • @johneldridgets The main difference is that the ultra can sound like an acoustic also.If you compare the 2 electrics,the tribute is WAY better

  • Go for an epiphone. I just got this guitar in the same color. You can find it for $749 at Sweetwater or musicians friend, Guitar center ETC. Go to Sweetwater, they have an guitar gallery and you can pick the guitar you want by Serial Number. They also do a 55 point inspection and give you a 2 year warranty. Excellent service. This guitar is really great!!! It weighs nothing and sounds really good!!! Youll love it!

  • this guy talks too much

  • should i get an epiphone or a totally cheap one like rockburn or Encore

  • @runescaperzoco epiphone man if it aint epiphone or gibson it isnt a real les paul..

  • there hard to get

  • but wont it get mit mess on stage have 2 cables  coming out the guitar ??

  • this would be great for smells like teen spirit

  • Huh,when you used the acoustic guitar sound effects it sounded like a tele guitar :).

  • sweet review man, answered a few questions for me, I like this axe, but Now I have Amp and rigging questions

  • Boston ^^ Foreplay/long time :) 07:25

  • hes not saying epiphone correctly

  • @TheManualMaster how is it pronounced then?

  • @TheManualMaster

    How the fuck do you pronounce it then?

  • who knows the amp???? Marshal??? because i want to buy a Line 6 Spider IV 75, so i want to know the best one for have like all the sounds, from clear to distorted song from Ozzy...........

    Thanks!

  • @GiuliYear95 hi,

    so you're planning on buying a line 6 huh? Well, I have one and I still play it, cause I aon't gt something else... But I really don't recommend them (the spider IV)(I also ave a 75w) Instead you should save up and go for a marshall MA (50w or 100w combo, 50w or 100w head) I really regretted buying the line 6... In the beginning it's oh wow! all tose sounds! But if you play like a few months, your really bored...

    So I recommend a Marshall MA 50w combo! (all - tube!)

  • Thats a awesome guitar..

  • If you use an abc morley pedal, you can run the stereo outputs to an amp and an pa system, or acoustic amp. It does sound more acoustic like this way. All you have to do is experiment a little. It's still one hell of a sweet guitar for the price.

  • master knob.

  • did he say gay knob

    

  • @Tantron800 He said "gain knob" you idiot.

  • BITCH BITCH BITCH BITCH BITCH BITCH BITCH!!!!This is a good sounding guiatr, and it doesn't cost a lot, so stop with the bitching. If you don't like it, don't watch it, or buy it. BRING ON THE RUDE COMMENTS....HEH HEH HEH!!!

  • @guitarworld Can you please tell me what Paul is playing on the acoustic mode 4:07 - 6:20 please and thanks

  • @Maltasor Yeah! It's so awesome!

  • @Maltasor way beyond empty by zakk wylde

  • @Maltasor just something random i think

  • @Maltasor he doest play songs due to copy write, he just plays

  • say if you were using a line 6 amp would you have to have it on a clean setting when using the acoustic pickup????

  • the only thing i hate about gold hardware... the gold, it always wears off after awhile...

  • It doesn't even sound like a real Acoustic guitar.

    ''EPIC FAIL''

  • @Macsk8ing

    He's using an electric guitar amp, retard.

  • @MoveTutor Fucker, he said '' you can bounce from electric guitar sounds, to acoustic guitar sounds simply by using a selector switch'' 1:50 , gay as fuck because it has no way a sound of an acoustic, it just sounds like clean channel with some FX.

  • @Macsk8ing yeah that is what i was thinking, that is why i have both electris and acoustic, you cant fuckin simulate an acoustic unless you use a peizo, and the last time I checked parker and one other company are using those on there guitars!!!!

  • what is he playing when he is on acoustic mod?

  • I was gonna get a epi custom but this is only £30 more. Gonna put in some dimarzio 35th aniversery pickups and triple shot rings to make even more versitile maybe a kill pot too :D

  • A thing of true beauty.

  • HE DOESNT START PLAYING TILL 4:08 OK UR WELCOME! thumbs this up plz

  • @jmannunez yeah but the video is no about the song, is about the review of the guitar

  • @fran963852741 i know but allot of people just want to hear what it sounds like...just helping out those people.

  • how much is a selecter

  • do all epiphone les pauls have the same sound

  • @hikinguphigh i think it's different, I have LP ultra 2 and when I compared with my friend's LP standart and studio it's different

  • @hikinguphigh yep, they are only good for scrapping up and replacing all the parts for a custom guitar.

  • @hikinguphigh yep, they are only good for scrapping up and replacing all the parts to basically end up just using the body

  • he speaks too much lol play alreaDY

  • what footswitch would work?

  • Comment removed

  • can you use any footswitch, or do you have to use a specific one? i have a marshall mg4 1x12 guitar combo amp, if i do have to use a specific one, can you tell what to use?
