Well, for one there super cheap. Secondly, they tend to play about as good as a Gibson, compairing the Standard Gibson with the Epiphone, and thirdly, they sound good with pretty much any amp, they can be used for almost any type of music, and are quite a bit lighter, weight wise, than a gibson. From a personal standpoint, I have a couple Guitars, and one of them is the Epiphone Les Paul Special II, Another is the Dean Vendetta Camo, I play them on a Line6 spider III, and the Epiphone has more tone for metal, the epiphone has more tone for solos, the epiphone sounds better on the clean channel, (but only when play rythm) and it looks alot better than the Dean, now I know there are some differences between the two, but I do preffer the Epiphone over the Dean, however to be fair, I will say this, the Dean has a MUCH faster neck than the Epiphone, and the Dean's all (even the cheapest, most crapy playing) have 24 fretts to Epiphone's (all that I know of) 22 frets. I am going to turn the Dean guitar in for Epiphone Standard Les Paul, but first I will change the pickups in the epiphone for Gibsons, just for Giggles. And I'll update when I do.

∙ 12y agoI would say the epiphone dot - but that's just my opinion...
If you want a rock guitar the epiphone les paul or Epiphone G400 would be good
If you want something for blues the epiphone sheraton would be good
If you want something for jazz the Epiphone Emperor would be good

∙ 10y agoLes Paul's Epiphone is special because it allows beginner Guitarists to learn how to play and get accustomed to Les Paul guitars. It is also the most popular out of the various Les Paul guitars.
