    NGD this should polarize the community

    Been reading a bit of input/opinions folks have on different guitars/designs. We all come standard with a boatload of our own likes and dislikes. My take is that those are real FANCY Les Paul. The JB's A GREAT pick up. My beef is a matter of choice. I am a recovering boat builder and love wood...

    The Epi Les Paul SL thread!

    Just finished Talking with my Sweetwater Rep.. He told me that they are not expecting delivery of the New Les Paul SL's until the September October time frame. I am an impatient type. A whole lot can happen in that time frame.... I think I'll build a Special with the Seymour Duncan SL5 customs...

    WHY do folks put "Gibson" truss rod covers on Epis??

    If; one finds it necessary or desirable to use a cover plate.. I like the classy girl cover! I just leave mine off.. I don't share the opinion that EVERYTHING that comes from a manufacturer is good or, in good taste.

    Question-EPI Les Paul with natural back?

    Too much bling! Koa is a beautiful wood that deservers to be respected not: with glitzy gold and gloss finish. Tongue oil finish and chrome would be a far better choice.. Simple and natural..Know any guitar manufacturers that would do that?? I don't.. Ibanez come closest

    Question-EPI Les Paul with natural back?
