myepi Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Hey guys, Debating on whether or not to get an Epi Black Beauty or Epi '56 Goldtop. Can anyone help me out here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungrycat Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 What kind of music do you play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myepi Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 Mainly blues, and I'm digging those P90s on the '56, but that black beauty is hard to resist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungrycat Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 If it was me, I'd pick the Les Paul Custom. I use a 335 for my blues-ing, I'm not big on P-90s, and I'm a sucker for all that binding. But that's just me. Everyone here who has a '56 GT seems to just love it, love it, love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midiman56 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Here's another vote for The Black Beauty ... The black ... the gold ... the binding ... the fancy inlay work ... a classic! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoop Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 How about a black 'Goldtop'? Or a Custom with P90s Of course, neither of these are easy to come by, and aren't currently in production. My local guitar chain has both in stock apparently. Old stock I'd imagine, but cool nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcwillow777 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I would say a black custom. You still get all the bling of a black beauty, but with two pickups. But, a Black Beauty does look very nice. I have a '56 Goldtop. I have learned since buying a couple of guitars with P90s, that I really don't care for them. Some guys here rave about them. I put a set of Gibson minis in mine and now I'm happy as a clam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
