MGR/EDDY JAMES « Epiphone Les Paul Standard »
Published on 02/07/03 at 15:00I recieved this guitar as a Christmas present this year from my wife. She bought it at Crossroads Music in Delaware, Ohio. I think she got it for $579.
I am really impressed with everything about this axe. The color is a transparent Amber Sunburst. I have seen some Gibsons that look similar to this finish, but not exactly like it. As of yet, I HAVE NOT SEEN ANOTHER GUITAR IDENTICAL TO THIS ONE. Its also the Flamed Maple carved top. I love the trapizoid inlays and the copper color knobs. The cream colored pick guard looks great too, as well as the vintage style greenish plastic tuners. It seems set up just fine as it is. I love looking down the Amber color neck as Im playing it, it makes the fretboard stand out and just seems different than a dark colored neck.
There isnt anything that I dont like about this guitar, except that I wish it had the gold hardware. I also wish that it actually said STANDARD on it on the Headstock.
The construction seems every bit as good as any Gibson Ive ever owned, as I had two Customs back in the early -mid 70's. Its a rock solid heavy guitar. The finish is absolutly perfect and the grain patterns are very good and consistant. This guitar is very,very well made and definetly worth the money.
This guitar is a keeper for sure, and Im glad my wife picked this one up instead of the ebony one. I think it would be very hard to find a new guitar as nice as this one in that price range. Its front and center stage in my collection at the present time.
