Cheap Epiphone MIC Les Paul Standard. Plain ol' black.
Got it new under $400 and did a fair amount of setup work myself.
But, this thing plays so nice. I mean really nice, as in better than quite a few $1,000+ guitars that I've played.
Frankenfretter (Sean) gave me a new pickup for the bridge position that I'll put in tomorrow which might give it a good tone kick. However, the stock pickups are quite good in their own right.
I'm playing it right now, and even with my messed up arthritic fingers I can lay it out on this one.
I can say that I'm fairly amazed with this one and I'm now glad I didn't sell it for a GIbby Studio.
Jeez, Epiphone is really doing it right these days!
PS - I'm fairly sure I've posted pics before and just thought I'd share some post-honeymoon thoughts.
