Epiphone Les Paul Special vs Pyle Electric Guitar Kit Full Size Humbucker Pickups

Buy the Epiphone Les Paul Special if you want a real guitar that plays and sounds like one. Its mahogany body, set-in mahogany neck, rosewood board and Tune-O-Matic bridge are the standard recipe for a solid beginner-to-intermediate instrument, and owners consistently praise its humbucker growl and tuning stability. The Pyle kit is a starter bundle built to a low bar: paulownia body, maple neck, stainless strings and a small practice amp. It works as a first taste of electric guitar, but its hardware, setup and tone fall well short of the Epiphone.

• Choose the Epiphone Les Paul Special if you want a guitar you can keep playing as you improve, with classic Les Paul tone and hardware that holds up.
• Choose the Pyle Electric Guitar Kit if you want an all-in-one starter bundle to try electric guitar with minimal commitment and don't mind upgrading later.
