Re: classic les paul tone
Well it seems like a pretty nice overall guitar.
However Les Pauls get a lot of the tone/sustain from it's thick mahogany body and set neck. I say save a little bit and go for a new Epiphone Les Paul, anything Studio/Standard and up should do better for the Les Paul tone. You could also look into the Agiles I suppose, but I have no experiance with one... Later on if you want a good classic rock sound a small tube map might be good use with the LP. |

Re: classic les paul tone
Wow they're sweet Don. I love that flamer. I'd buy one of those or a Fuji-Gen in a heartbeat. I like the Gibson-like headstocks.
