MGR/Fabian Spoelman « Epiphone Les Paul Studio »
Published on 11/24/06 at 15:00Hey, I'm Fabian Spoelman.
I'm 21 years old, born and risen in Haulerwijk, Netherlands. I play guitar for about 6 years now, and I'm in a band called Thanks4Nothing (www.thanks4nothing.nl).
We play a whole variety of covers from artists such as ACDC/Guns & Roses/Nickelback/Status Quo etc.
I bought this Les Paul at a local guitar shop for about 400,-. I traded in my Ibanez Ergodyne series, as I'm sick of getting my guitar detuned due to the Floyd Rose system. Above that, I like a Les Paul sound way more then a Ibanez sound, since I play classic rock mainly.
I really like everything about this guitar. Body, neck, tuners, bridge. A lot of people think the tuners look awful on this guitar. Well, I don't. I think the creamy greens look kinda vintage on this Les Paul, and they really stay in tune for a long. long time! The pickups are great, not noisy, and the bridge pickup just sounds superb!
I am pleased to say that I cannot find one thing about this guitar that I don't like. Its very solid, stays in tune SO well and sounds terrific
Like I said, it's very solid. It stays in tune great, its sounds amazing. Sometimes I dont believe its just me playing this thing :D I have it in combination with a Behringer Blues Overdrive stompbox and a Marshall VS65R Amp.
For those that are really into buying a Gibson, but can't get the money together, this guitar would be the perfect choice. If you replace the pickups by EMG's or Duncans, you probably have a guitar better then the Gibson itself. I suggest this ones a must for every guitarist1
