Everything & more you'd expect of a prime copy Gibson L P. Has been a working guitar & still is. I am used to my Fender Strat & am trying to get adjusted to a Telecaster style guitar, so,,,the action on my Epiphone is set as a Fender would be,,,pretty darn low. I need to bring the action up just a hair because unplugged it will rattle some. But with that being said,,I will keep & play this guitar. I can't say I'd buy a Gibson L P even if I had the money,,this 2000 Epiphone L P plays & just damn near sounds like one. Anyway,,,,it has Gibson stamped on the trussrod cover!!
