I thought about getting a Les Paul, but got this instead...

Post by Addam »

I was looking into getting a LP Jr or something like that.

But searching ebay 'Epiphone'

I found this;

And bought it.

I haven't played it plugged in much.
But I really LOVE the neck.
It does need some sensible strings, intonation setting and maybe a fret dress.
I like it, and was cheap too.

Release the inner Kurtdz kid!

I'm gonna start to worry when I stop washing my hair, and start buying checked shirts again...

As do I, and I knew what you were talking about.

I wish those trems were a bit easier to find instead of sourcing out an old guitar.
