The heart of the Epiphone Les Paul Player Pack is a genuine Epiphone Les Paul Special II LTD electric guitar featuring classic humbucking pickups. You get classic Les Paul tone and the Les Paul’s ability to reject annoying “hum” (interference from fluorescent lights and other extraneous electrical sources). The bolt-on maple neck is designed by Epiphone for easy playability and features a comfortable rosewood fingerboard.
The Les Paul Player Pack also includes a 10 watt Epiphone Electar Amp designed for easy portability that is great for practice and perfect for dorm room parties. It includes the most sought-after guitar effect in the form of a clean/overdrive button and features a headphone jack, so you can practice without disturbing the neighbors.
The clip-on tuner included in the Les Paul Player Pack will have you tuning your guitar almost instantly, so you can get right on to playing.
Buy the Epiphone Les Paul Player Pack and get access to downloadable interactive guitar lessons from eMedia. As you practice, eMedia tracks your progress and displays your notes onscreen on an animated fretboard and in musical notation. eMedia covers styles from rock to blues, folk, country, hard rock, metal, and everything in-between.
You’ll be playing sooner than you ever thought possible. Your upgradable eMedia software is available in English, French, Spanish, and German.
Because Epiphone is part of Gibson, the most respected name in guitar manufacturing, you can be sure that the Epiphone Les Paul Player Pack will give you years of guitar playing joy.
The Amp
The Electar 10 Watt Amp is suitable if you are just beginning to play electric guitar.
- Volume control
- A clean play and distortion button
- Treble and Bass controls
- Aux in to plug your MP3 for music to play to
- Headphone plug outlet
- Power switch with a red light.
- Super small and light amp
Some reviews reflect that the amp can be a little light on tone, but it is only 10 watts. It’s a good amp to plug into for a beginner.
Here are some other reviews on this great package.
The history of the Epiphone Guitar
In 1957, Gibson Guitars bought the Epiphone company. This means Epiphone has a license
to use the design and specifications of the famous Les Paul Guitar design.
Gibson Les Paul guitars are built in Nashville in the USA and Epiphone Les Paul Guitars have been built in Qingdao in China, since 2004.
Although Epiphone is a less expensive Les Paul, it still has a high standard of finish and quality fittings. They are both solid-body guitars but the Epiphone is lighter, which can be a big bonus when you stand up to play for hours.
A great buy for a new guitarist. You don’t need talent, just the desire to be a great guitarist.
Once you have bought your guitar come back and have a read of my posts for the beginner guitarist.
Thank you for reading this review. I hope it has helped.
Please feel free to offer any comments or ask any questions that you may still have.

Seriously, I am taking note of this now. My husband wanted to be part of a band at some point, and it seems like the Epiphone is a good guitar to start with. Its great that there’s a lot of inclusions in the pack so you won’t have to think about it anymore, plus the free online lessons will be very helpful. And since the amp is just 10 watts, it’s just right. Glad I came across this. Thank you!
Hi Raquel,
He is going to love you even more if you get this for him. Epiphone is owned by Gibson Guitars, the design is the same the only difference is the wood that they use, which makes them less expensive. My local lead guitarist plays an Epiphone and it sounds terrific. I hope you use my link when you are ready to buy.
The online lessons will get him started and you can read about two great courses on my website when he is looking for a bigger course.
Let me know if I can help in any way.
Regards,
Lily
Well! I’m not buying for myself but for my son and the only thing I can say is that I am very impressed with this guitar. He has only an acoustic guitar but I decided to buy him an electric guitar since he just created a band just to support him. This Epiphone led Paul electric player pack cannot be more better for him. Thumbs up to you for reviewing it here
Hi Shelley, I’m delighted that you found this helpful. What a lovely idea for your son and his new band, he will have a ball with this. I hope you can go through my link when you are ready to buy.
Let me know if I can help in any way.

Wonderful information on this player pack. This is helpful for parents who have children that are interested in taking guitar lessons. I, myself, have a son who is a guitarist and this is something that I would have looked into when he first started. The idea that it comes with everything that a new and aspiring guitarist needs is great. It sure beats buying everything separately.
Hi Geri, thanks so much for your comments. I am so glad that you would find this helpful.
Buying everything at once is a great idea and a better price too. I hope your son is enjoying his playing. Let me know if I can answer any questions you may have in the future.

Hi Mugalu,

Amazing! I have watched how the guitar functions and I was surprised that this instrument can produce all those sounds. I love the small gadget that tells you if you are in tune or not. I could spend all day practicing on this guitar as I feel like I want to be the next big guitarist. Thank you for the Epiphone Guitar history and this great demonstration.
Hi Carol,
You are welcome. It really can make a lot of sounds. A great way to feel good when you first start playing. Thanks for your comment.

Hi Lily,
Great post there. And that video review is done so wonderfully.
I have been desiring to learn guitar but I’ve tried playing (and I own an acoustic one). I’d opted for this since I didn’t need an amp.
For all the prices of a full package I’ve seen before, this Epiphone Les Paul Electric Player Pack is the most affordable one. The guitar also looks durable and that Amp looks pretty okay for any beginner to start learning.

Thanks for the feedback Boniface. I have a few acoustic guitars and an electric and think this package is a great deal for a beginner. You don’t get a huge amount of grunt from any small amp but this is a great start.

Epiphone les Paul Electric Player is such a great electric guitar for beginner that i cannot seem to point out any sort of cons with it and I’m left with singing only the praises of this guitar. It seems to be exceptionally awesome and If i have my way, I will buy like two of these because I will want to buy for my two sons. Great one you have reviewed here. Cheers
Hi Bella, thanks for your comments. This is great package, I’m sure your sons would love one.

Thanks for your Epiphone Les Paul Electric Player Pack Review.
