Chrisdude Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Where did they get the fact that flatter wider frets allow you more "Dramatic" bends? That is absolute RUBBISH!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 And what about the weird way they gave a twisted end to the story of how les used epiphone's shop? They try to make it sound like les using the epi shop has anything to do with the epi les paul standard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepblue Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Its all smoke and mirrors lads. Gibsons way of trying to make a silk purse out of a sows ear. Before Epi owners rip my head off...Im sure its a half decent guitar, but to compare it to a '59 Lester is a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pohatu771 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 For anyone who's in the Epiphone market, but intends to replace the pickups anyway, it's actually a pretty good deal... Supposedly better wood (since no one has them, we can't say) Bustbucker pickups Hardshell case For $900... a Les Paul Standard Plus-top is $550, plus a set of BBs is $220, plus a hardshell case, which can range anywhere from $50 to $300. Assuming that case is practically identical to a Gibson case, $130 isn't bad. Plus you don't have to replace the pickups yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisdude Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Don't get me wrong. I will say it again, it is not the guitar I dislike, same as the Hendrix disaster, both guitars are probably good excluding the Hendrix kiddie range of course, they will end up in poundland (or a 99c store in the US). It's the absolute bullsh1t they spout with it. There is absolutely NO NEED to do it. People are not,, well mostly, not that stupid! We play it, we like it, we buy it! As for advertising make it plain and simple with no obvious crap that seasoned guitarists will spot in a millisecond! Let's face it, unless you play one, nomatter what crap a manufacturer spouts you are not gonna buy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
