The epiphone les paul standard

[neuro182]

Differences are :-

1) hardware different color

2) nut width diff - custom is 1.68 while classic is 1.6875

3) body finishing

4) inlays design

how would you guys rate the epi lps in terms of tone, playability, construction.

So did anyone go down today to get an Epi LP?

i would suggest a Burny Les Paul. I'm sure they are way better than epiphone les pauls. Woo i were to win 4D this weekend, i'm goanna get a gibson les paul.. if not i'll jus buy a acoustic-electric at sweelee's sales.

 

[Heavenscloud]

Definitely better, esp Tokais and Burnys. Go get them if you have money, but right now Epi quite budget so should do just fine..

 

[neuro182]

Hmm

I went down tried the MIC Epi LP. Not bad except the neck feels kinda uneasy for me bec I'm used to my RG Wizard II neck.

Maybe if you change out the pickups, the MIC LP wld be much more acceptable :wink:

Got 1 for myself. My first budget electic guitar.
not bad la, with the 50% off, $350+ can get a les paul le. Better than nothing.
Workmanship sucks. Neck feels strange. Yes. Yes it does. Nuts are loose.
And its the first day. Not even 1 day lor, just few hours only.
But all these can tighten one ba. HAha.
Other stuff, all excellent. !

i bought a epiphone les paul today.

 

[neuro182]

Congrats.

 

[ItAcHi]

congrats...which model u got?

 

[Heavenscloud]

Cool.. can start a new thread for Epi LP users to boast/condemn their new toys le.. haha!

Anyway my fellow friends.. what models did you see? How's the LP Customs there?

 

[over-tuned]

I bought a Epi LP Classic. Open Coil Humbucker seems to be more attractive to me lol. As I said, bad workmanship. But who cares, the most important thing is whether you really like it or not.

Epi Custom besides being heavier, I think its worth buying.
Nice headstock lor ...

I know what noobs think. So listen to me noobs.
Because I am one. LOL
Go Epi !

Epi LP Standard.. its a good guitar if u dont mind the weight. more or less the same weight like Gibson LP..

Bad construction/workmanship? Bad Pickups? Bad experience?
NOT TRUE.

I MUST AGREE WITH THIS.
I hope we you right hahahahaha ! I dont know how good your LP Standard is ba. But my LP classic really had some nasty workmanship... But they're still worth buying I must say. Especially for starter Les Paul Lovers = )

[mamemo]

[amberbrew]

[backstab21]
