hi , picked up an epi lp custom chrome last night , i done some work on this guitar a few years ago , 50's vintage wiring harness , cts pots and iron gear pickups , i swaped it for the black mij strat i picked up a few weeks ago , a bit too much bling for my liking so after a wee clean and some tastefull parts added here it is






cheers
Alan

I'd love to pick up something just like this eventually. Really nice and clean look to this one. And, as always, everything looks better in black. Enjoy it!

Nice guitar. I have been favoring my Les Paul quite a bit lately. I can feel the Fenders demanding balance ... haha

Beautiful guitar. Looking for a Les Paul myself. Trying to figure out if I want a Gibson or Epiphone.

Hi , thanks guys i'm loving having a LP again, it's been a while (swapped my gibby lp studio for a 94 strat a while ago) and this one sounds as good ,if not better than the studio i owned . After a few days of playing it i finally have it set up to where i want it , overall it wasn't to bad (3 high frets , slightly) it's now 2mm at the 12th fret on the bass side and 1.7mm on the treble side , no choking out and with a set of 9s on it , i'm in ZZ Top heaven , playing songs like i'm bad i'm nationwide and cheap sunglasses sound excellent and it also rocks for early bowie songs with Mick Ronson Like any guitar you pick up it needed a little work and i'm more than happy with this new addition to the heard
rkreisher check out some of the new epi lp tribute guitars , gibson wiring and pickups and i think a lot of the new ones have coil taps as well , personally i always liked the look and sound of the custom , if you go 2nd hand you can pick up some real epi bargains , spend a few quid on upgrades , get a settup and you'r in gibson territory , ymmv as martian says cheers
