Suits playing live well.
My main live guitar for any situation, they hold up extremely well through differing climates and weather. The signature Les Paul rhythm switch sound holds just as true here as any "real" Gibson model.

Not my style
This guitar is not my cup of tea,but most gibson/epiphone style guitars aren't. The neck is fat and chunky, the body uncomfortable, a heavy clunky feeling guitar.
It doesn't work for me. I have small hands and am pretty short, so I require smaller necks and lighter guitars because this thing is too much for me to handle.
Although, it does have a great sound and really nice look and finish (besides the gloss on the neck) for most players, this will be a great guitar, but I question its price $900 when you could spend just a little extra and get a proper Gibson/ Fender. Why did I purchase it? because it was on sale and I needed an electric guitar, I regret that decision and wish I spent that money on something else more fitting such as a Jaguar or Mustang
The price isn't that high, where did you bought for $900?

First High Quality Electric Guitar
Own the Les Paul Slash Special Edition II Use and use it more then I have any other of my older guitars. Only advice is find a good pair of strings you really enjoy and make sure to keep the fretboard and strings clean enough to where you do not get an overly dirty sound.

Amazing!
This is one of my favorite guitars, amazing quality, great feel and superb sound. I installed a roller TOM bridge, and I'll soon put a TUSQ Graphtech nut in there. I love the finish, and the coil-splits are a great feature with lots of different tones. I recommend it a lot, 10/10.

At 2:09 in this video we can see Ray playing a Epiphone Les Paul Standard as we see the classic Epi style headstock. Toro is noted to play this model from at least 2004, as he says in this interview.
In this photo from the Fantastic Planet touring cycle, you can see the headstock of an Epiphone Les Paul that Ken is playing.
From Lars Frederiksen’s official shop on Reverb.com
” This Epiphone Les Paul Trans Amber is owned by Lars Frederiksen
Serial: S93083413 This thing's got mojo! Tons of wear all throughout—scratches, dents, exposed wood, tarnishing, some cracks. There are cracks around the stop bar screws—one looks to have been glued. There don't appear to be any real areas of concern regarding the guitar's structural integrity/playability. The input jack is tarnished, requiring a little extra elbow grease to plug in your cable. Looks to be a repaired crack below the bass-side binding on the neck near frets 11 & 12. Slight musty smell. Overall, this guitar could really just use a fret polish and a fresh set of strings. Plays and sounds great! Hardshell case included, which has also picked up some wear but still gets the job done. ‘This guitar was used to record Let’s Go as well as part of …And Out Come the Wolves. Used to have a ton of stickers which have all been removed. I played it about a week or two ago and it still sounds awesome, but you know what—it’s time to find another home for this one.’ All items in The Official Lars Frederiksen of Rancid Reverb Shop ship fully insured with delivery confirmation and a signed and embossed Certificate Of Authenticity.”
Zim Zum used this Epiphone silver sparkle Les Paul on the Dead to the World tour. There are many videos that exist of him playing this guitar during the 1997 half of the tour. He used the guitar with D# and Drop D tunnings.
"Hay que ser Richard Coleman para salir con esta guitarra"
"Esta guitarra la compre por el look... Microfono P94 en el neck, 500T en el puente con split coil, la dinamica que genera es barbara. Con tremolo "The Bowen Handle", estaba buscando una palanca liviana, que no tenga que perforar la guitarra... Cumple su funcion"
