  • Epiphone 1959 Les Paul
    Standard
    It's already cased and my back hurts so I'll add the year later on 😂
    This one is set to drop C# and just off the bat wowser. The finish really let's everything ring true and if this beast was in standard it would be 👌 not that the current tuning is bad, I just know guitars.
    Anyway apart from all the goodness like cts pots, switchcraft switch Gibson pick ups and the same nut that Gibson uses, the tuners on this one are not as good as the ones on the Gold top and it's having a little trouble with tuning.
    I once again swapped the 18p for a 17p as the 18s just aren't doing it and sound plonky.
    The action is set to medium low once again and yeah she's good to go, I couldn't test this at earth shaking volumes likes I like to do due to my daughter having a nap, but she's good
    If Stu decides this one is worth the extra money I'll order in some new tuners (gotoh)
    But for now he can enjoy his new beast
    I also polished up the frets as they were a bit scratchy. I really like the neck on this one.
    Just a shame about those tuners.
    I've got two more left to do but I think I've done enough for today and will return later to look at a sexy bass
    Cheers legends!

      I'm impressed, epiphone have come along way, I used to own 3 about 12 years ago. Tho good, not as good as these are, but back then I didn't have the skills I have now! I would like to think if I still had them, they would be pimped

      Hey dude, rough frets are not a good thing 😂 it reduces your fret life causes damage and can flatten your tops. I don't own this, I'm a guitar tech and my job was to fix it.
      If you like rough frets more power to you, but definitely not something that I can let slide

      Looks way better in person and really not too satiny.

      I thought so too until i got it. Brighter the light the better it looked. Sunshine really sets it off!
