First post here. I have 4 Epiphones in total right now, a 2010 Les Paul Tribute (with the somewhat less common asymmetrical neck, a 1960 v3 Les Paul, a 1956 Les Paul in Chicago Blue, and a 1999 Sheraton II that is currently getting a headstock fix (if it doesn't work out, I'm getting a Dot to replace it).

Mods include:

1. Faber locking bridge and stop tail
2. TonePros/Kluson tuners

4. Luxe "Woman Tone" Bumblebee kit

10. Schaller strap locks
11. Bone nut

OK, ok, finally dug up an old pic of my LP ('07 Std+)....electronics are still stock (work well enough for my non-professional self), only changes are swapped out knobs to speedknobs (amber, if you can believe it....LOL....they're darker amber than Epi stockers, my fingers just don't get on with the stockers very well), and the switchring and pickguard are gone. The finish seems to have darkened with age (pup rings and binding seem so too,) but that might be all in my head, as to how much honeybursts seem to vary depending on lighting - this shot was outside on our hammock/ambient sunlight on back porch. But, anyways..... NOW, just have to see if I can dig up a pic of my battered old AJ :)

Dave and BillM, these are some really nice LP's here. I was going to leave my v3 stock, but now I might do a couple of simple mods. I don't plan on selling it anyways. Thanks for the inspiration :) Might have to be on the lookout for a '59 at some point.
