Guitar God Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 So, this came in today from Reverb. It's a black 2002 Epiphone Les Paul Standard. Been considering another Epiphone Les Paul for awhile. Mainly to mod out because I'm happy with my Gibson's and I don't want to mess with them or change anything unless I absolutely have to. I guess everyone on here can tell and knows that I'm a diehard KISS fan, so I plan on eventually getting a creme Dimarzio Super Distortion for the bridge and a creme DiMarzio PAF for the neck and make it like a 2 pickup Ace Frehley style Les Paul. also found one of those cool Ace card truss rod cover, too. I also have a spare DiMarzio jack laying around, too, so I might as well use it, too. Needs a good setup, though. I have noticed that a couple of the high frets on the high e string fret out/choke out when bending on those couple of frets. I need to get that taken care of and I believe it'll be fine. https://i.imgur.com/nnTaRCa.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/CdI5S1k.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! It's an aftermarket custom one. I found it on Reverb last year. Not sure who makes it. The ad doesn't state who makes it other than made in USA and limited. The seller appears to be a parts and accessories seller mainly, so I guess they either make them or have them made.GUITAR TRUSS ROD COVER - Custom Engraved - Fits EPIPHONE EPI - ACE FREHLEY KISS | Reverb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twang Gang Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Nice looking Epi. Be careful transporting it though as the case looks a bit too big and the guitar will flop around in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not enough flop to worry about. I'm more worried about those couple of high frets on the high e string fretting/choking out while bending, though.
