shartom Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Bought my 5th Epiphone today, a Les Paul Standard. I've been using a 52 Reissue Gold Top for the last few months. It is a great guitar. Thought I should get into the humbucker world and the Standard seemed like a good choice. The flame top is a knock out. I lowered the pickups to get a real clean sound. It can't be compared to the 52 Reissue. I was at the Iridium Club in New York on Monday and saw Les Paul and his trio. I knew that when I got home a new Epi would be joining the family. Any Standard users out there? Comments? Now if I could only play "How High The Moon". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BENT E Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I just received my seventh a week ago today, a Casino in natural. I was apprehensive about the guitars built in China, but after getting an AJ200S a few months ago my fear disapeared. The Casino is all I hoped it would be, nice build quality & playability. The Tone is simply beautiful, no wonder The Beatles loved them. The tones I alway's loved off ABBEY ROAD are at my finger tips. Amazing!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitmore Willy Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Hello Shartom, I too have a Standard. Can't speak for others but, I like mine. Like you I have other gitfiddles. They are all unique in their own right. Personally, I could not be more pleased. Hope you feel the same. By the way, the moon is just a finger tip higher than most of us can reach.

kaptinkrunch Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I have 2 Epi Standards(plus top- HCSB & Wine Red) a Korean '03 and a Chinese '04 I put Burst Buckers in them also installed a graphite nut on the Korean. I love them both, I have a friend Travis who has 7 Gibson Les Pauls and I feel pretty good about how well mine compare to his. I have a slight preference for the Korean, but both are really great guitars esp for the price about $400 -$500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RotcanX Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I've been using a 52 Reissue Gold Top for the last few months. You're not talking Epiphone anymore, right? A '52? With the trapeze tailpiece and everything? Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrma Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Me too - I've a LP standard, needs some tweaking, but can't complain (cost me £140 second hand...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matiac Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I always like showin' 'em off...this is, of course pre-pickguard removal on the blue one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smd24fan Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I have two Standards myself and love them both unconditionally. When I'm done screwing around with my Ibanez guitars, I go to these for the best playability and tone of my collection. Always a good choice, unbeatable for the $$$.

shartom Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 Thanks for catching my error. It is a 56 Reissue not a 52 as I mentioned. After I hit the send button, I realized my mistake. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
