MGR/Epiphone Les Paul Standard « Epiphone Les Paul Standard »
Published on 01/21/04 at 15:00Christmas Present. Bought at Steves Music in Ottawa, Canada. 514.99 plus tax and case came to about 675. Decided on Epiphone cuz gibsons are very expensive, and im only 16.
I Love my les paul. Even though the head is slightly different shaped, and it doesnt say gibson, you can hardly tell the differnce in sound. I had heard many a gibson les paul, and this one is quite up to par. Epiphone sure makes a great les paul. Pick ups scream when you wanna solo, and growl when your playing the blues. I play mainliy blues and blues rock. Stuff like Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Hendrix. I can get tons of sounds out of it, its perfect!
Slight buzzing on in the saddles of high e and G string, im sure this could be fixed, as i have never had it set up. Other then that i have nothing but love for it.
Extremely solid. Weighs a ton, so you know its good wood. Pick Ups sound jsut like a gibson PAF. frets are low and fast. Neck is amazingly smooth, never played anything liek it.
If you are in love wiht the les paul model, but dont have 2-3 grand to spend, then getting an epiphone will suit you just fine. Very well made, very beautiful guitar. I have a honeburst finish and the flames are huge. Overall an excellent buy.
