MGR/Anonymous « Epiphone Les Paul Studio »
Published on 06/25/01 at 15:00I purchased this guitar from a music store called City Music in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia. I had to travel two hours to get it and I paid $700 for it. I bought this particular guitar because I really wanted to buy a Les Paul but there was no way I could afford the real thing. I was actually browsing through an old music magazine of my brothers and I came across an advertisement for Epiphone guitars. I actually was really impressed aesthetically by the sunburst looking one but no where in Australia could I find this particular color. Anyway I settled with a beautiful cherry red.
As I mentioned I really love the look of this guitar as it is both really "rock" and "glam" looking. It is also very playable with a nice action and a great feel. I find that you can also achieve a really heavy sound especially when you kick in both humbuckers.
The only thing that I do not like about this guitar is that it is quite light but then again sometimes that can be a positive especially during gigs.
The basic construction is rosewood fingerboard, cherry red cosmetics, 3 way selector switch, two chrome humbucking pickups, two volume and two tone controls both in translucent black. Also it has a bolt on neck.
A great looking guitar for somebody that basically likes to rock out those power cords and appreciates the heavier side of music. But that's not to say its not a versatile guitar as it can quite comfortably handle the melodic clean sounds all the way to some honky tonk country.
