MGR/DK « Epiphone Les Paul Standard »
Published on 12/01/02 at 15:00 Through a local music store. I rang around a few places and they gave me the best price of $1200 australian.
Ive been playing a sqier strat for about 3 years now and, even with the lightest gauge strings available, doesnt come close to the playability of my new Epi Les Paul. I originally got the honeyburst finish but I returned it and had a Heritage cherry sunburst ordered (it looks alot better). The flame maple top looks stunning. I played a Gibson les paul at the same shop and the Epi compares very well.
My only complaints are the green machine head buttons. Also the pickup selector switch feels a bit loose. And if you try to remove the pick guard (which I think makes the guitar look better) your left with two small screw holes. Very minor complaints as you can see.
The construction of the guitar is outstanding. The finish looks absolutely beautiful. Great "full" tone (none of that twangy strat sound). The playability is second to none. the neck has a lovely smooth feel and the inlays are set perfectly.
If your having second thoughts about buying this guitar, buy it you'll be more than happy with your purchase.
