MGR/Sam Hall « Epiphone Les Paul Standard »
Published on 06/30/04 at 15:00I purchased it from MusicansFriend.com for $550. I have a LP Speacial and wanted to get a carved top LP.
I like the Heritage Cherryburst finish. It has one blemminsh on the cut out. The electronics are great. I love the range of sounds I can get out of it. I play mostly alternative music so I mostly use the bridge pickup. The guitar has amazing sustain. IT has a fast neck and has good intonation.
The frets on the guitar ar placed at a sligth angle on the fretboard. So the side fo the frets closest to the bridge are raised up a little. It doesn't affect teh playability though.
Overall the quality of the unit is good. The only issue I have is the frets which I mentioned earlier. It was made in China
This is an excellent guitar. I've played many Gibson Standards and they sound just the same as the Epiphone models. The only reason to get a Gibson LP is just to have it for the name. If anything were to happen to this guitar I would replace it without hesitation.
