Epiphone Les Paul's - opinions please!!!!
I've recently been getting into Les Pauls (strange since I've basically been a Strat style man since I started playing). I recently tried out my singers Epiphone Les Paul Custom and it was really good. I've always had issue with the shape (I'm a Strat softy and love my tummy and forearm cuts!!!) and the finished necks, but this one seemed just right.
Above are the models I can get great deals on and look fantastic, so opinions please guys and gals!!!!

I have a Honeyburst Epiphone Standard Les Paul and I love it! One of the BEST guitars I have ever played. Built rock solid.

Here's mine....it's a LP custom with a limited edition electric blue flame top and EMG's. It's a workhorse....I can't imagine a USA LP being much different....except for the price.

I say the cherry sunburst standard. I would have said the Gold Top, but I thought they came with P90s. If I am wrong, go for the gold

Hi, I have a Cherry sunburst Epiphone that I've used for about ten years now, it's been an excellent guitar, (Although pretty bashed about now!) I'm also fortunate enough to have a genuine Les paul standard in 'Desert Burst' which is pretty damn good aswell, the Epiphone is now generally in a 'Standby guitar' position, or tuned down for those 'Gunners' moments, but is still an excellent guitar, BUY ONE, you won't be dissapointed! |

I'm a big fan of the Les Paul Shape. I own a black Epi myself and really like it a lot. I've recorded a lot of stuff with it.
Funny, I'm the other way around with the Strats. I just don't like their shape. Never did.

Musicians Friend has a nice Gibson that is not badly priced. Some of the Epi's you have listed there are not too far under this price.. check this one out.

Flame Maple Top is the way to go matey. Boneyard is a copy of a great guitar and no matter what Joe Perry's name staying in neon or busking in Lyon, it'll always be a copy of...whereas there's not gonna be that much difference in how they put the maple top on...only the thickness I woulda thought. The Dark Angel Pepper might have more infor but a flame is nice! |

I love my Epi LP Standard....had it a year now. Notice the black hardware which only came on a few limited models.  Wish I had a better photo. The gorgeous finish is hard to appreciate unless you see it in person.

Just calling like I see it...the thing looked like a piece of firewood. Might be a good project guitar to rework?
