    Congrats, Phantom! I love my Epi LP Standard! Played it against the same Gibson, and, for the money, was very little, if any, difference. Saved big bucks, and the Epi is lighter weight. Good stuff!

    Default Now I want some black speed knobs for it

    Do the Chinese Epi Les Paul Standard Plus tops have course shanks or smooth? They do use speed knobs or the Les Paul Custom Silverburst.I checked StewMac and Guitar Fetish and they sell them for the Les paul.Just wondering which ones will fit? Thanks for all the responses you too,M29!

    Man, don't fall into the trap of modding that geetar 'til you get it, hear it and look it over. You might be surprised at how well it's made and how good the stock p/ups are.

    Eveybody's on about immediately changing the p/ups to BurstBuckers. Maybe you'll wanna do that, but please judge for yourself. Don't just be a bandwagon jumper onner

    Myself and a guitar collector/seller friend of mine agree that the stock p/ups are great!

    The gold bell knobs on my "new" Dot are impossible to read even in good light. At the jam last night, eek! I'll be changing them for something I can see the numbers on.

    That is interesting most of the people I know change the speed knobs for vintage style. I am surprised that you need to "see" the knobs when playing, but I don't gig and it could be a whole different ball game. I have a mixture of them on my LPS some have them and some don't and I don't really notice when playing.
    I have the Epi Elitist Custom LP and it is a killer guitar, it has the speed knobs and it plays amazingly.
    The Blues is alright!
