I've got a friend who plays one. Go into any Guitar Center and pick up an Epiphone Les Paul standard, and that is what you're getting--same feel, same sound, same fit and finish, but one more string. For me, that is a bad thing, because I'm just not too keen on Les Pauls. The neck is like a baseball bat, and it is too muddy on that low B, but the massive crunch and thick lead tones are all there. A pickup change would do some real good for it, since the stock ones suck. A Seymour Duncan Custom sounds stupid evil in the bridge position of these things.
For some odd reason, this has become my buddy's main guitar. He owns an UV777.
