Hey! Welcome to the forum! I agree when you say that the Epiphone is the nicest instrument to play, I recently got a Epiphone Les Paul Special II, and it plays soooo well!! My dad picked it up and was blown away...
I too with the extra time took a free guitar basics course to brush up on my playing, before the quarantine, i didn't really have much time..
So stay safe and good luck! ππ
