I picked up this Epiphone Les Paul at Guitar Center on Friday. I got an OK deal $440 out the door with tax, but I had to wrench on it for an hour to set the action where I like it and set the intonation.
I also ditched the brown/bronze colored knobs in favor of clear/black ones with white numbers. The brown ones look just fine on a sunburst finish but I though they looked really stoopid on this black finish.

I love the grover tuners, love the neck and the general tone of the guitar. I'm still learning how to use it though. It's pretty sensitive to volume and tone adjustments... [img]images/smilies/icon_jam.gif[/img]
Here's a picture.

Very nice CC. [img]images/smilies/icon_thumb.gif[/img] I love mine, and since I have been recording so much up here I play it more now than ever before!

I think I like the pickguard actually. Call me crazy.

[Stiglar]

that looks super smooth CC

my first real guitar was a sunburst ep les paul , and i loved it . fanastic instruments !

[CanyonCarver]

Thanks bro! I think I' m getting to know this axe slowly.
I bet I can try some Led Zeppelin licks on it and get that sound. I'll have to work with the POD and see what comes out of it.

SWEET, CC! Very cool looking axe. You'll have to let us hear how it sounds!

[VHF]

That's a cool guitar CC. I have that I record with a lot...it gets a realy good clean tone. I have those same knobs on mine, but no pickguard. It has an electric blue flame top, which almost looks grey....and it weighs a ton.

I can see your face in the finish, hahaha just kiddin, It is shiny! When ya postin something with it?

[Rid]

Sweet guitar.

Thanks for the feedback. I really love this axe.
I've been learning a Zakk Wylde lick to do it justice. (Miracle Man). When I can play right I'll post it. It'll take a few days before I can nail it perfect. [img]images/smilies/icon_jam.gif[/img]
