Re: Buying Epiphone Les Paul Standard: The China vs Korea manufacture.

back on track, Ive got a new Chinese EPi Custom, but I have 2 problems that maybe you guys dont, Im in the UK, which means having to wait a long time sometimes and Im left handed which means I cant go into most shops and try a bunch of guitars, normally I have to mail order and pray what I get is good.

Fortunately the Custom out of the box (after tuning and minor set up) is great, in fact Ive actually played a Gibson that wasnt this good but was 5 times the price. Ive not had the oportunity to play a LH korean, but looking around some ofthe shops that have RH ones and talking to people that own them I cant see or here any difference.

Re the PUP changes if you dont like the sound change them but dont just right them off cos theyre standard equip. mine sound great but after modding my other LP this will be due a PUP cos I'll be after a total change of sound.
