carnage Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 This is gorgeous. Hoes the neck feel? This is also going to be my next guitar. Just needing to save up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazarusvt84 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 yep! That's a nice burst! Epi's have come a loooooooooooooooong way in the last 10 years. Picked up a used Epi LP Std with 57 Classics for my son's xmas and with a few neck adjustments it's ready to enter the line up as his back up guitar. My son is annoyingly fastidious about his gear and sound (autistic trait I suppose) but reluctantly admits that it truly rivals his Studio and even his Traditional. Need to replace a glitchy input jack though. As for my recent acquisition of my Epi LP Cust. Pro...the stock ProBuckers seem to hold their own again my SD's, 57 Classics or 490's. I'm now a big Epi fan...at least the newer ones being made in......China and fitted with decent pups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolution Six Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I' m not an Epi fan but this tri-burst finish is awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinch Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Congrats. I love mine! Carnage: the LP PlusTop Pro necks feel great IMHO. Depends on what you're looking for, I guess. It's a 60s style neck - no baseball bat, but not too slim, either. Feels "authentic" when you squeeze out blue notes, but works perfectly well for playing really fast runs as well. For which you'd probably need to lower the action. They come with what in my opinion is very high action. I got the best tone at a little lower. (I need medium or just below, so I'm still trying to recapture the sweet spot I had between medium and high, tone-wise. I'm almost there.) While we're on the subject of action and such, the prospective buyer might like to know that even though most LP players usually like a bit more relief than the average Ibanez enthusiast, mine came pretty much dead straight without a hint of fret buzz. So what, sayeth thou, you said it came with very high action. Yes, sayeth I, but I've fiddled around with it, and it works great, no-buzz-wise, at pretty much any action. I added a bit of relief - same thing. You can tell I like it, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve112 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Epiphone just Keeps making Great Guitars This new Les Paul is now a favorite Congrats, 212West. That is one beautiful LP. Love that Bourbon Burst, so rich looking and you've got a particularly nice looking flame on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinch Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 The Bourbon Burst doesn't come w/ a pickguard, right? I'm partial to pickguards. But it is indeed beautiful. I've had my honey burst for a year come February... I really should try to get a pic up someday. It's beautiful, but doesn't photograph well. Must be my camera - I, too, am so much better looking in reality than in photos. Dang broken camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinch Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 What multi-tool package...? What; you didn't just get a truss rod wrench that didn't fit, like I did? ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
212West Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 What multi-tool package...? What; you didn't just get a truss rod wrench that didn't fit, like I did? ;-) It was in a bag wrapped up with a rubber band pickguard on the outside and its clip & screws inside with the truss rod tool. Didn't mean it came with anything special... no more free cord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redskybag Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Hello good people, my first post on this forum, just so happens that I bought one of these in Bourbon Burst yesterday (my first Epiphone). I had the pick of almost the entire colour range in the shop but when I saw the Bourbon Burst well the contest was over. With regards to the pick guard, mine is staying off. Why hide that beautiful paintwork with a tacky bit of plastic. Besides I had nightmares last night about drilling holes. Noooooooo! Oh and since I started playing it I'm convinced I've become a better player. Absolutely delighted with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
