I got my first Epiphone Les Paul Classic in Honeyburst 21 April 2024. Totally lovin' if for style, comfort, & sound.
Congrats! They are amazing guitars!
I too got my first LP very late. And I fell in love!
Funny. Im a single coil person my self (Strat and Tele) and just bought this exact guitar in honeyburst too and lovin it!
Sounds sweet. Those bends and pinch harmonics 👍
Thanks, Daniel!
Nice playing! Love the tone too, really nice
Thank you! These Yamaha THR amps are amazing.
@@hanskorn that would be a solid amp, I rock with the positive grid and it's also awesome
Incredible playing and tone!! The reverb is sweet and the drive doesn't cover up the tone of the guitar. I want the cherryburst plaintop gloss version of this. Something about it looks so cool.
HALO HANS
GREAT PLAYING AND AWESOME TONE
PLEASE WHAT AMP SETTING DO USE?
LESD CHANEL?
OVERDRIVE CHANEL?
Booster?
Eq
Delay
Reverb
Thanks so much

I'm just about to pull the trigger on this exact same guitar. It's sounds fantastic in your vid.
Awsome play man ✌️ I enjoyed it a lot thanks for sharing with us.
If it is possible could you share the specs and amp setting you use to get the tone? Cause among all the videos I saw for epi lp classic your tone is the best.
I'm at this point in my life where I believe that an epi with upgraded electronics & pickups and a good setup is a better choice than a gibby most of the times. Maybe that's because I have played Gibsons and have demystified them a bit
Agreed! Playability, tone, and comfort can be achieved regardless of brand name.
Und wie fühlt sich die Gibson an, im Vergleich zur Strat?
Ich spiele schon seit Ewigkeiten Strats, aber in letzter Zeit denke ich auch über eine Gibson nach.
It’s a different experience compared to a Strat. For me, Strats feel faster and easier to play while Les Pauls feel clunky, but have a drastically thicker tone. These differences inspire me to approach the music I’m playing differently and I feel both are fundamental instruments to own any collection.
I just ordered Les Paul classic honeyburst! I hope I did the right choice! It's my first electric guitar! I played only classic and acoustic till now! I hope the neck will have good playability!
Congrats on your first electric guitar! Great choice!
What are your thoughts on the indian laurel fretboard? is it too porous? Awesome licks man! thanks in advance
Thank you! It feels great and never had any problems with it. Aesthetically mine looks dryer than other rosewood fretboards I’ve owned, but in terms of performance, it’s smooth to play.
@@hanskornThank you for your answer man, happy playing!
Shreddin’!
Nice playing! How would you describe the difference between the strat and the les paul necks? I have a Player Strat with a Modern C Neck, which I really like. The les paul classic has a slim taper, wich I never played. Are they kind of similar?
Thanks! For me, they are different. Modern C Strat necks are very thin-to me, almost like an Ibanez Wizard neck. Even though the Les Paul Classic has a slim taper, it's still quite thick in comparison to the modern C. To my hands, the Les Paul's slim taper feels more along the lines of a vintage Fender baseball neck. Think U-shaped or D-shaped.
Hope that helps!
@@hanskorn okay thanks, that helped!
😊@@hanskorn
THis is the best Epiphone I ever played, so sorry I sold it.
Agreed. Sold mine nearly 2 years ago and regretted it as well. Just yesterday, I bought back the same exact guitar.
I just bought it yesterday .
Congrats! How is it so far?
@@hanskorn It's very good, first lespaul.
Seems to work
Is the neck slim profile
Yes, slim taper.
So, how do you like the transition so far? 🙂
I’m enjoying it! It’s a departure from the comfort of a strat, playing requires more focus and effort, but worth it because the tones are amazing.
@@hanskorn I know what you mean. I was always a superstrat guy and when I first got an LP I was so confused with the shorter scale. After many years I've come to prefer it actually, feels totally natural especially if combined with a beefy neck. Suits my wide palm, short finger hands
I must point out how badass your epi sounds through that THR. I love that amp to the death 💪
@@WeeFreeMan78Agreed! I played some superstrats and even though they had bridge humbuckers, they still sounded totally different compared to the raw crunch and power of a Les Paul’s bridge humbucker. I feel like superstrats are so slick that they basically play themselves where as a Les Paul fights back, puts out whatever you put into it, and makes me play in a different way. Wish I had owned a Les Paul sooner in my guitar journey!
Thanks man! These Yamaha THR amps are amazing. Great value, convenience, inspiring tones, and motivate me to practice more.
@@hanskorn I've had some amazing superstrats, played effortlessly but there was something missing. Only one that stands apart is a 1991 Korean Washburn N2 which plays like nothing else and sounds MASSIVE, significantly better than my old N4. Weird...
I wouldn't change my THR 10X for any other expensive micro head. And I'm about to purchase the 100 head, not because I need it but because it's really something worth having in your collection. And it absolutely deserves to be a hand down to your kid in the future 😆
Would have been nice to hear some clean tones too.
Should have bought anything but an Epiphone. An esp Ltd ec256 with upgraded pickups is better in every way than anything Epiphone has ever made.
havent heard that much crap in a while lol
