MGR/captain espresso « Epiphone Les Paul Custom »
Published on 08/20/05 at 15:00I bought this guitar from www.gak.com for £350 (it was on sale at the time) - i recommend this place if your buying instruments or amps as they dont add tons of duty on top of the retail price, which is always good.
well i like everything. some people complain about the fact that the guitar has a fatter neck than a les paul standard but that adds to its heavyness and the general crunch you can get from it. the pickups do a good job (i play punk and rock mostly and it more than handles the job) and it doesnt drop out of tune whilst your playing it (handy for gigging) and the pickup selector is pretty solid (a common complaint about epiphones is the crappy pickup selectors - but not on this one) - should you put in some new pickups and possibly upgrade the hardware and electronics you have yourself a gibson quality instrument.
nothing. for under £400 i doubt you can get a better guitar.
solid. the bass player in my band dropped it once (for which i beat him good!) and it didnt even drop out of tune. dont get me wrong, i dont think it would stand up to a bench saw but in normal circumstances its built like a rock.
seriously, this guitar rocks. i have the alpine white but the ebony finish looks just as good. well worth the money - lead guitar players might want to check out the les paul standard as its more of a soloists guitar as the custom is born for rock chords. but dont let that hold you back. buy one, buy one now!
