So today, my drummer, singer and I went down to the Sam-Ash in Clearwater, FL. It was something like a 5-star restaurant before it was a Sam-ash so its really nice looking. And it's HUGE!!!! But the reason why I'm posting this here is because I played a bunch of guitars, one being a Charvel Wild Card, the Orange ones with ebony board(supper smooth board) But one guitar that stood out was an Epiphone Les Paul custom. It was used, and it had a repaired headstock so It was already like...399.99 but I didn't notice the repair until the sales guy mentioned it. It had "dat mojo" This thing played better and felt better than some of the Gibsons in shop. If I had the cash I would go buy it right now. I like it just as much as the Charvel I played. The pickups sounded pretty nice. I was thinking about how a xl-500 would sound in the bridge. But yeah, that guitar left me speechless on the ride home. It was just crazy.

Not interesed but still like to play a good guitar. Headstock break and STILL $399? Seems it would be more like $299 or $250 to me but what do I know.Aint no pro but I know what I like....

Re: My Trip to Sam-Ash
Haven't been there in awhile, but sometimes all of the tile and the size of the rooms makes everything sound kinda mushy in there.Administrator of the SDUGFComment
