Understanding Guitar

One Beginners’ Efforts

A while back, I posted that I wanted a “Epiphone Les Paul Ultra-II Electric Guitar.” You can find that post here: http://www.understandingguitar.org/2008/05/01/i-want-one/

I wanted to share that I’ve stumbled upon some more information about the guitar. It appears that Harmony Central (I tend to follow their news) also has a section of their site dedicated to product reviews…

They have a ton of reviews of everything from guitar, to amps, to who knows what. Obviously, the first thing I wanted to check reviews for was the Les Paul Ultra-II. I found it rather easily within their pages.

The reviews are all positive, but there are only two reviews. I was hoping for a lot more. Still, the two reviews are both positive. Both reviews are not “Perfect 10s” indicating that the authors put some though in to the reviews, but both reviews average about 8.5 (out of 10).

You can find the reviews here: http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Guitar/product/Epiphone/Les+Paul+Ultra-II/10/1

Let it be known that I want one: Epiphone Les Paul Ultra-II

Though, seariously since I’m posting this does anyone have any thoughts on this guitar? I want a better electric but something a bit more then basic. This has some features such as the ability to sound like acoustic that I desire. And its price isn’t too bad, though it is a bit more then I wanted to spend…

I primarily play an acoustic. I have a starter Electric Guitar but am looking to get a better, higher quality Electric Guitar.

Does anyone have any suggestions as an alternative to this guitar? Perhaps similar features but a little less money?

Update: I’ve posted another blog entry about the same type of electric guitar. You can find that at: http://www.understandingguitar.org/2008/05/16/epiphone-les-paul-ultra-ii-electric-guitar/
