Description of Epiphone Les Paul Standard Ltd. Edition: My Les Paul was bought on ebay from a company, Brand New. It sounds amazing!! I play it through a Marshall stack. I customized almost everything on it. New Sperzel tuners, new silver knobs, Seymour Duncan Invader(Bridge pickup), Seymour Duncan Distortion(Neck pickup). It is just like a REAL Gibson, everytime I take it to a shop all the techs tell me that it feels like a real one!!
Tone of Epiphone Les Paul Standard Ltd. Edition:
Comments about Epiphone Les Paul Standard Ltd. Edition: The guitar has a full sound, I changed the pickups because when i played with my band (Heavy Rock) it fedback at loud volume like a mother#$%^&er but now, with my Duncan's life is beautiful. I have a Marshall AVT150H Head and a Marshall 1960A Cab, but i am selling my amp and buying the Peavey Triple XXX, it sounds great with my guitar.
Quality of Epiphone Les Paul Standard Ltd. Edition:
Comments about Epiphone Les Paul Standard Ltd. Edition: My guitar is considered a 2nd for a finish flaw......but uh.....I can't find it....even after almost 2 years of owning it. Heh. I changed the tuners because the stock ones sucked.
Overall Opinions of Epiphone Les Paul Standard Ltd. Edition:
Pros: Sounds very very very very close to a Gibson, and at less than half the price!! You can't beat that!! Just a few customizations and I made it my dream-come-true.
Cons: The only things i must say that I didnt like, were the Tuners and the Pickups. BUT!!!! I only recently changed the Pickups, they were decent, but I needed more crunch. The original tuners kept slipping on me, but not nemore!! HAHAha. The guitar is great!!! honestly I would only buy a Gibson for the name.
