I've been looking to upgrade my guitar for FOREVER! It's the lower-end Epiphone Les Paul that i bought for $200 forever ago.
I looked into getting an Ibanez or a Gibson for a while and even made a few topics on here about it. Judging by what I play I decided that Gibson would better suit my heavy rock needs. So I was trying to figure out if I wanted to get a Les Paul Studio or a Gibson SG Standard. Both are awesome guitars. I've played both and liked them equally well. I actually didn't get either one! I went to a guitar store that had an Ebony Epiphone Les Paul Custom. It sounded almost as good as a Gibson Les Paul Custom. It was selling for $699 at the store. I went home and checked ebay and found one new for $479. Needless to say...thats what I got. For the price and sound...it's the best I could find anywhere. Ebony Epiphone Les Paul Custom I'm going to set it up properly, and if I need too...upgrade some components later on. Can't wait til it gets here. |

Grats on the new gear! Good looking guitar. It's pain to wait for the package to arrive, isn't it?

HERE's a good video on a comparison!
It's the standard though...not the custom. But the 2 are very similar. The custom is a step up from the standard. This post has been edited by Kyle Logue: Mar 9 2008, 06:24 PM |

It's a nice guitar, there's also a model in white, looks similar to buckethead's guitar, and it's really nice too.
I tried one at the local shop the other day, and I liked it. -------------------- Guitars:

That was my main guitar for 2.5 years. I think it is a no-brainer in terms of cost benefit. The Gibson Custom for instance is 4x more expensive, but not 4x better...
Really good choice. This post has been edited by Gus: Mar 9 2008, 10:30 PM -------------------- my "Thank you GMC!" video
