Topic: Ordered a New Epi Les Paul Studio...Any Thoughts?

Well, I finally did it!  My longtime love for a Les Paul has been fulfilled!  No, it wasn't a Gibson, but I was told the Epi version is just as good.  The Epi Studio model was affordable and received many good reviews. 


Any other thoughts and/or feedback would be appreciated.  I used to owned an Epiphone hollow body back in the 70's also.

Congrats!!

Play it well. 

You should use 11 gauge strings.  They will compliment the warmer tubby sound while still keeping it possible to make the screaming bends!


Happy Plucking!!!


also,

does anyone know the year that Gibson bought out Epiphone?

Thanks Rubin!  You're a great help.  This is my first Electric since 1977, and want to make sure I learn about it as much as I can.
