    New IBG Les Paul Special, questions about P90's

    I picked up a 594 SE last winter on sale. I’m thoroughly impressed with that model. I gave up on waiting for a DGT. PRS is currently running a 20% off sale on all SE til the end of October. So many great, inexpensive guitars, so little time. I got my first guitar back in 1971 when there...

    New IBG Les Paul Special, questions about P90's

    So I checked the reading on my two pickups and they were identical to your's BGood. I dropped the height of the neck pickup a little further, raised the bridge pickup and adjusted the poles to get the two pretty well balanced, enough so that I can say I'm getting what I want out of each...

    Yes, the tuners are doing all they are supposed to so I guess it would be wiser to save the money and put it towards rectifying the output differences between the pickups. Perhaps that was the reason the guitar was originally returned. I‘ll have to rummage through my automobile repair tools...

Epiphone has made many historic guitars over the years but all of the Les Paul’s they offer are “cheaper” versions of the...

    New IBG Les Paul Special, questions about P90's

    I recently got this TV Yellow Special as a demo model from one of the large mail order places for $379 (less a $20 coupon for an actual cost of $359). I was a little worried about what might have happened to it for the price to be this low but I was pleasantly surprised by the condition...

    What did you do to your Epiphone today?

    I didn’t physically do anything to my recently acquired Les Paul Special ( a demo I proudly snagged for just $359 from one of the big online retailers). I did buy a new Faber wrap around nickel bridge and studs. They’re running a 20% off sale today so I got the parts reasonably cheap. I can’t...
