Happy for you that you decided to go for it, sounds like you got a good deal too on a new one.  I was going to ask playing them side by side if there was much difference, but you already answered that - since the Gibson wins hands down are you thinking of selling the Epiphone now?  I mean how often are you going to play it when the better one is sitting right there begging to be played?

Anyway a good first world problem to have - enjoy.

Oh I'm gonna play them both that would be guitar neglect.

[NGD!!!]

I love telecasters. I have a 60th anniversary and an all rosewood George Harrison.

After playing the epiphone and the Gibson back and forth with the same amp,etc. the Gibson won the battle in every way. Not that there's anything wrong with the Epiphone,the Gibson just was better. Damn glad I spent the money,cuz I'm digging it immensely. It was about 1200 more with discounts and reward money so it was a good buy. Reverb prices were too high for a used git I can't see spending more for used than new guitar with no recourse if it's a bad one.

Our old Christmas Tree blew out in the middle section & after 2 days, with replacing fuses and bulbs, I still couldn't get the problem solved. It's one where they have the light bulb stands all tied in there good so it's very hard to remove it & put a new one on. Deb said;  "Lets just get a new tree as that ones old and didn't cost too much." So off to Wall Mart and we bought another one even bigger. I was decorating it when Deb went to her step dads. She thought We needed more decorations on it so when I had all what I had upstairs on it I went to the basement for another storage bin. It was on top of a shelf and staked 2 high. Too heavy to pull both together as I could hardly reach them.  Needed something to stand on.  So I looked around and nothing available down there but this one hard plastic bin that took my weight fine. I got it pulled out stepped off when at the last second it flipped on me. (Too much weight on just one side.) And I fell, hitting the back of my head on the basement concrete floor.  Laying there a minute, There was no pain, Thought I was fine but felt something wet on the back of my head. I reached back and got a whole handful of blood. Well, off upstairs to check the damage and the top of my head, my face and neck was all covered in blood. I grabbed paper towels to hold on the back and washed off some blood. Then called Debbie but no answer so Then I called our son who rushed over and helped to get it to stop bleeding. (He did a little time in the Navy he said with medics.)  About that time Deb showed up as he got ahold of her and we went to the Emergency where we spent the next few hours there. Most of the time was just waiting for the doctor to show up.  Thought he would never come. Haha, I was mumbling, Where is he at? Driving up from Kansas? By the time he shows up, this thing will heal on its own! Haha, This guy I thought was an orderly sitting at a computer for 2 hours outside my door came in and asked if he I needed anything? "Just waiting on the doctor to show I said. He was the doctor. I wanted to say..."About  time." They were treating COVID patients there all day long I was told and I just wanted to get out of there.  Anyway, I received a few staples in the back of my head and we got home around 10:00.  We had to find someplace to pick up a late dinner on the way home.  The worst part was trying to find my lost hearing aid that fell out when i hit the floor. Thank God Deb finally found it using my tracker on the cell phone. 

Glad you're ok Butch, got to get you one of those "Help I've fallen and can't get the fukk back up " devices.

I’m a big reader of Dean Koontz.  He’s great at making real or unreal people/situations something to dread.  I’m pretty much caught-up with his latest books,  so I’ve picked-up two that I’ve missed over the years.  The first book of his I read was Phantoms.  It actually made me ambivalent about going to the basement.  I was in my 30s....lol......Anyway, he writes page turners.  If you like getting a chill up your spine, he’s the guy to read.

There's some of his books in the house I'll have to check it out.

Over half done with the first book,very good book if you're interested in true crime.

That LP custom is awesome, you seem to find extraordinary guitars all the time.

Not sure how the guys at the factory are supposed to know how you like your guitars setup.  I automatically assume any guitar that comes into the house will need a full setup to get it the sweet spot that I like.  Just par for the course.  Now if the high action is caused by an underset neck that would be a different matter.

Nice bro,  you chose wisely.

[forum slow?]

Ya kid it's been slow, thought it was my iPad ...I'm gonna try rebooting it.

You can always do what I do: when I croak they'll belong to you and then you can sell them.

That always brings a smile of my wife's face (and probably thoughts like "that can't happen soon enough").

So that's what Karen's smiling about.lol

[ES 339 Gibson]

I'm going to tell Karen I had fever delerious brain and I can't even remember buying it,I thought it was a dream honey, I swear.

[John Cruz guitars]

Wonder what prices are? 

[ES 339 Gibson]

I'm weak,had buyers remorse before I bought it,but bought it anyway.

345.00 off,180.00 in points to buy other stuff. 

Makes it a decent deal considering people want 2000 or more on reverb. Here if I'm not satisfied I got 45 days to return.

[John Cruz guitars]

Apparently John Cruz former master builder at fender is starting his own line of custom guitars.

Got fired over a Facebook post he made awhile back and now going to make and sell guitars. Interesting.

If I buy another epiphone I'll have to change my name to Mr. Epiphone.

The last two guitars were Epiphones, a hummingbird and an ES 339. Great guitars.
