MGR/EDDY JAMES « Epiphone Les Paul Standard »
Published on 04/08/04 at 15:00I found this guitar at the String Shoppe in Columbus, Ohio. It was in the used guitar section, and I paid $320 and got a used Epiphone hardshell case with it.
The Transparent Blue finish is incredable. The sound quality is excellent, as well as the gloss finish. The green plastic Kluson tuners seem to work very well. This guitar came equipted with an Ephiphone Bixby type of set up already installed.
I have no dislikes or complaints, except that the top side of the back and the lower half of the back are different. One is heavy wood grain, and the other half is tight. (it doesnt match). On my other Ephiphone Les Paul Standard the whole backside is the same.
Other than what I stated above, everything else seems excellent. Perfectly intonated.
You cant go wrong for the money on these guitars. I own five Epiphones, ( a 2001 reissue '58 Korina Explorer, a '92 SG-400, A 2003 Les Paul {Transparent Amber} and a '99 Viola Bass. All are great guitars, and good enough to play anywhere in my opinion.
