Epiphone quotes the body material as mahogany. The Amazon description is a alder-maple laminate. I suspect the Amazon spec is incorrect?

The one I had was most definitely a laminate body, but it's possible that Epiphone has changed the materials recently.

It is a soft nylon guitar cover. I wouldn't waste my money (again) on this guitar; it is horrible! The neck is not secured properly to the body and therefore is difficult to tune and play. I own one and am very disappointed.

The neck on this guitar has a 1.75 inch nut, which provides a slightly wider string spacing for the left hand. The neck is also thicker than most acoustics. I believe Epiphone calls it a "soft V" shape. It is a shape truer to a more vintage guitar.

I'm not even sure what kind of mahogany it is, but the big thing is the wood isn't even cut right. Maybe mine was just a defect but the slot for the neck to screw in was not at all straight and that kept the pic guard from even fitting in place until I had to cut a piece off. I guess all that matters is that the strings are in line with the neck correctly no matter what direction the neck goes, but I wouldn't be worrying about the wood, I wouldn't even buy this unless u want a correction project

The top is spruce with a composite body...do not let that discourage you. This guitar sounds like a Martin. The quality is awesome and it is more durable and less expensive.I use mine for studio recording using a mic. The pickups are o.k. but the guitar sounds much better using a good mic.

Its made of a soft kind of wood. I do not know the name of it but the guitar sounds really good after tuning.

I would not buy this items for my guitar again. I contacted Amazon and returned the item as it was misrepresented as bone when in fact it was plastic. The bridge on your guitar is probably better that this item, or at least the one I received. Review my pictures. Others say theirs were bone but mine was not and I have the photos to prove it.

They are very similar.There are probably different woods used for the bodies, but without looking at where it's made you most likely wouldn't be able to tell the difference. They're both good guitars.

Yes the SG is a combination of the three. The body is mahogany and the fretboard/neck are alder/maple.

there is a full blown detailed description about what the guitar is made from in the listing....Scroll down in the listing a little and all your questions will be answered.

It is definitely not plastic but it is not real wood either. It is some sort of synthetic wood if that even exists. My son loves this guitar.

I 'm not sure ..I returned the guitar as a nylon player I wanted a guitar i could play at the time and this has to be plugged in .I did sound good ,still I found that Martin started making Classical guitars and it has a very same feel as Godin but only way better ,I has a 100x better sound and feel and neck is still slimmer ,tho not to slim it is called Martin 000-c nylon and is about $1300 -1400 ..I am so happy with it ,it is one of those guitars that can change your life,I ve had many guitars and this is by far one of the most special ones

I don't have a case for mine yet either. I know Epiphone makes a hard case for their les pauls and at a resonable price. I believe it is available through Amazon too!

Grovers are not standard to Epiphone and I replaced Grovers I installed 40 years ago on my SG standard with Gibson tunners to bring it back to original. I'm not sure what is original Epiphone but I think they will work perfectly

Amazon says it "renewable plantation wood". Whatever that means, the board and pieces are very nice. But if you are looking for genuine mahogany then you are probably looking at the wrong price range

Well yes Epiphone does make guitars at the Nashville facility but I am pretty sure most (if not all) LP-100's are made in their (Epiphone) China factory. Mine absolutely is Chinese made. I measured the nut width at the top of the neck and it showed to be 1-5/8" but "official" stats state it's 1-11/16" I bought my Ebony LP-100 5 months ago new ( 1st electric and am novice) and it is a Fine guitar for the money. I upgraded to a LP Standard in Red 2 months ago but can't find it in me to sell the LP100 ( actually I have lighter weight strings on 100 model and use it when practicing Bends lol) http://www.epiphone.com/Products/Les-Paul/Les-Paul-100.aspx

This is a Squier SA-50, this guitar has a LAMINATED spruce top NOT solid. The body is laminated BASSWOOD back and sides NOT laminated agathis. Google before you buy this item. Cheaper everywhere else as well and it comes with poor quality accessories.
