    What's your favorite epi guitar/amp combination?

    Any of my three 1989 Epiphone Les Paul Customs through my Soldano Hot Rod 50 and Soldano 4x12 with Celestion G12H30 speakers. Best rig I have ever owned and cured my GAS forever.

    Burst Guitar finishes (official thread)

    1989 Epiphone Les Paul Standard Honey Sunburst Tiger Eye finish I'm certain it's a veneer but it really does look sharp.

    Black Guitars (The Official Thread)

    1989 Epiphone Les Paul Custom Original Gotoh keys Seymour Duncan JB bridge pickup GFS Fat Pat neck pickup The 1989 Les Paul models don't come up for sale very often. I have only seen four in person (three Customs and a Standard) and I bought every one of them. Great guitars. I have not played a...

    Stirring the pot....

    I owned an Agile AL-3100 for a couple months. I sold it because the neck heel was enormous and interfered with upper fret access. Aside from that, it was an outstanding guitar with exceptional fit, finish, attention to detail and construction. It felt, played and sounded better than any recent...

    Silverburst'n!

    Don't like the new Silverburst finish (I always called it Silver Sunburst). I had a 1984 Gibson Les Paul in Silverburst. The silver portion was a teardrop - is did not follow the countour of the body. I don't like the current ones.

    The New FAKE Epi thread

    While I do respect the intention of this thread I have found that relying on forumites for advice on whether a guitar is a fake or not is roughly about as reliable as asking your stock broker to select your investments. I have lost track of how many times someone has shouted "Fake!" after I have...

    No Love for the 59's

    I have a SD '59 in an Epi Les Paul Jr. and a set in a 1989 Epi Les Paul Custom. I like it in the Jr. - maybe a tad bright (I attribute that to the fact that it is a single bridge HB guitar) but I like it nonetheless. Love them in the Custom. Admittedly, I rarely use the neck pickup but I have...

    Talkin' Bridges

    +1 on the TonePros locking bridges and tailpieces. I have them on two Epiphone Les Pauls and the third will get one when replacement time comes. That roller bridge that the OP posted? Looks like more trouble than it is worth. With that screw under the strings to lock the saddles setting the...

    The 'All things about Strings' thread

    Years ago I labored under the delusion that one brand of strings difference significantly from another. In the early 80s I used Dean Markley strings. When I moved to a different part of the country where DM strings were not available I actually had a friend purchase them at home and mail them to...

    Show your Epiphones

    My 1989 Epiphone Les Pauls. I have since given the sunburst Standard to my girlfriend's son. Yes, I changed the truss rod covers. That three screw GIBSON truss rod cover makes the guitar look cheap. I have owned a number of various Gibson Les Pauls over the years and these three play as well and...
