My main guitar I've been using for live shows and band practices has been my older, approx. 2004, Made in Korea Epiphone Les Paul Custom that is in my Signature and it is extremely heavy and I'm trying to get the miles off it and our classic rock/hard rock band does 4 hour shows so it takes a toll on my back and shoulders!!

If this picture is to scale, then the new ones are quite a bit bigger, and considerably more attractive in my opinion.Join me in the fight against muscular atrophy!

Originally posted by Lovegun View PostI think Gibson have had some say in what Epiphone can do or not. There has been some speculation that the new lineup has been made not to battle Gibson, but other brands that have "Les Paul models" and "Sg models" that have had better features than Epiphone.Last edited by nexion218; 01-20-2020, 03:49 AM.

Originally posted by nexion218 View PostI think Mincer was referring to the fact that Gibson churns out the same old **** each and every year and charges buyers an atrocious amount of money. The price keeps going up while quality and innovation stalls at best. Or at least that's what I thought of when I read his post. But it could be said of any large/historic guitar company.
