Thank you and i'll take on board the advice about the stand too. Heres the only other one on the web I've found...
Epiphone Les Paul Standard Limited Edition in Quilted Black Cherry - Nevada Music
I got mine from a local music store though, it stood right out from all the other guitars. I'm loving the different look of it and of course when I treid it in the store it sounded just as good as it looked.
I listened to other guitar players about amps and the cube was the one that sounded the best, Im very happy with that also. Just wish Christmas would hurry up, lol.
