MGR/Eric guitarist of Last Chance « Epiphone Les Paul Standard »
Published on 03/08/04 at 15:00I got this 2 years ago at Guitar Center in Spokane Washington for $499.
Well i am in a 3 piece band that plays a wide range of rock so the tone i need is a very full one,and with this guitar i got it. It has a very nice heavy tone and when you palm mute with it,it gets lower than a lot of basses. With a clean tone it gets a nice sparkly almost acoustic tone. Action was not set too low(which i like)but was very very light. Lead tones are great and i am able to get the right amount of feedback thru my Crate GX212.
One of the tuners buzzes slightly every once and awhile,you dont hear it when plugged in though. I have slammed the selecter switch real hard and had it go out on the rhythm side. I kinda wish it didnt weigh 14 or 15 pounds.
Fit and finish is very good,nothing at all bad in my opinion. Ive got an Ebony model so its not a real hard finish to get right. Except for the buzzing tuner and switch everything is great.
I am very glad i got this guitar. It has the fat full tone that i absolutly need in a 3 piece band. I recommend it.
