Yesterday I received my first Epiphone in the mail. I was going to order the Ace Frehley one but someone grabbed the last one they had so I went with a Standard Les Paul in Heritage Cherry Sunburst. This isn't my first Les Paul but my second one, the first one I got when I was 14 and that was 30 years ago.

I'll have to admit that its a fine crafted instrument and I haven't found too much to argue about except it could need a new set of pick ups. Now I got 4 electrics and my daughters acustic



Sorry for the small pic

If the inside is anything like mine, a wiring kit will be in order as well. Some of the grounds were hellaciously stripped, and held together by the tiniest thread of wire. (one broke off when I tested its strength) I also found the toggle switch to be flakey; almost brittle. Nothing else needed upgrading IMO.

Have fun with the guitar.
