I bought an Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus Top Pro at a G C a few weeks ago. It was not planned. I just saw this beautiful desert burst guitar, pulled it down and liked the action. It is my favorite out of 4 Gibson Les Pauls and this one! I will never buy another guitar from G C though... my first and last. I paid, the kid handed me the guitar over the counter and said " have a nice day". I was shocked. No papers, no box, no warranty card, no gig bag... nothing. I actually responded with "you gotta be shi__ING me"!!! No more G C for me. But I love the guitar... my favorite.
