A real standard!
When I exchanged my blue burst Epiphone Les Paul Standard, I found myself in deep regret after like 5 months. So, few weeks ago I just bought a another Les Paul Standard (Plus Top Pro), now in Honey Burst finish. And yes, once again it is a great guitar that perfectly covers my need for humbucker guitar to go hand to hand with my Fender Telecaster. Epiphone really nails it with their Les Pauls.

A really good Gibson alternative for the money
Let's start off with saying this. Mine is a 2015 model with Gibson burst buckers. The pickups were included when I bought it. after saying that, this is genuinely the best LP I own. The only thing I don't like is how the necks are thinner than there Gibson counterparts. That complaint has been somewhat remedied by the new Epiphone "inspired by Gibson" line. Honestly I would seek out a 2015-2016 LP custom just because my SG and LP are from 2016 and 2015 respectively

My first guitar has also withstood the test of time.
The guitarist from At The Drive-In used this guitar on their Jay Leno show. I saw it and went and got one and started playing. Having come far with my musicianship, I merited an upgrade because I only recently realized I overpaid for the thing. And that's why I stopped going to Guitar Center.
If you like the rough, trashy sounds - this is your guitar.
It is still the only guitar I use for rock/metal.

Amazing Les Paul for an affordable price
Great feel. Warm tones. Options with the coil tapping (on mine anyway). Beautiful honey burst. It's a great guitar.
