Epiphone Les Paul Studio Worn Cherry

[Rock 'n' Roll Bambi]

Hi all, I'm gonna buy my first guitar and I was wondering if the Epiphone Les Paul Studio was a good choice? I think it is but I wanted to know what you think about it... and also, how does the "worn cherry" finish look like? I suppose it looks like this (I mean, only the color, I'm not taking about the pickups, the neck and everything, just the color...)


thanks

Um, that's actually a picture of the Gibson one, which is quite a bit more expensive than a first guitar. It says Gibson on the case and headstock...

I guess he knows that

Wellcome


Yes that's the colour ! but here is the epiphone version:

For your first guitar is a fair choice.

yes, I know it's the gibson but I just wanted to know if it was the same color... cause i'm sure it's a good guitar but now I have to choose the finish

wow... bad luck

I'd go the worn cherry finish or the ebony. It's your choice, just go and test them out. I think it'd make a great first guitar!

Yeah. Even worse, it was a Gibson, not an Epi.

IMO, the Epi "worn cherry" finish is not very impressive looking in person. It is much too red, especially when comparing to the Gibson VM.

I got one of these last week as a small bonus from work and my buddy's shop had both the cherry and the brown.

I went with the brown because it played better, but it also looked much nicer.

I like red...

I find the ebony too dark... everything is black on it, I don't really like this finish... and, I'm gonna buy my guitar by musicstore.de, so I couldn't test them out before buying but I have a 30 days money back guarantee if I don't like it...

That is a whole lot of guitar for the money - regardless of which color you go with.

Personally, I do not care for this guitar. I saw it in person (both of them), and the finish was far from pleasing. The guitar was not finished (nitrocellulose) and was not rough, but not smooth. I then plugged it in, and the sound was weak. It could have been a bad experience but my advice, play it before you but it....
For a first guitar, I would go with an Epiphone Les Paul Standard.

you have to expect that sometimes man. It is wise to play a bunch man. Every studio is gonna be a bit different. Evey Std ect you know. The higher the cost of the guitar (you know like you Gibson that you had to sell )the more consistant there gonna be. But you will find an Epi that rocks man, you will.

Hey Bambi...

The studios are great guitars for the price. Go for it. (Dang, a second plug for the Studio model! WAssupwitdat?)
