These are very appealing to me due to their light weight, good balance, quality build, great Les Paul-ish looks, and playability. The price is great and these can be modded to please!
Over the years, I've had four Gibson Les Pauls and they're all gone now - just too heavy and unbalanced (butt heavy) for me, as I always play sitting down. Not to mention, expensive!
As I've shopped for these Epi ES- Les Pauls, I'm finding that they have become quite scarce. I ordered the last one that Guitar Center shows on their website - now, new stock not expected until mid-December. Same with Sweetwater - "more on the way" they say. Musician's Friend (owned by GC) same thing, not until mid-December. And on Reverb, fewer than a handful in the USA. Supply has momentarily dried up.
Perhaps an updated ES-Les Paul model is soon to begin the pipeline?
I expect that these would be less popular than Epi's regular Les Pauls, because most Les Paul buyers probably want the "typical" Les Paul - a solid body.
Anyway, my hunch is that not many here on this forum have one of these, but if you do, please chime in and say a little about your impressions?
