Epiphone Les Paul Elitist Custom--Rediscovered
I have owned a Les Paul Elitist Custom for many years and it kind of found a spot in the back of the the guitar room. I have had some Peripheral Neuropathy due to Chemo treatments. That is a loss of feeling in the fingers and bottoms of your feet and toes. I thought I might never play again but the feeling has come back considerably in the last couple of months. I found that playing was difficult. I decided to pull this guitar out due to the very light playing feel. I have D'addario 9.5s on it. These guitars are made in Japan and are some of the finest Les Pauls ever made. Mine is the wine red with gold hardware. It has the Epi branded Gibson pickups and sounds amazing. It has become my number one guitar and I am very happy that I can play again.
I have several Gibson LPs and Sgs and this guitar stands up to them very well.
I just wanted to let people know if they get an opportunity to acquire one they should jump on it. Mine also came with a hardshell case. I bought it on a blowout sale at Musicians Friend. I will try to post a picture.
