Re: Battle of the Les Paul copies (and a real one)
Well, I do play pretty high gain most of the time, but usually not at high volumes. I'll be running the MESA through a power brake.
This is good to know cos the clips were really nice. I jes wanna get my F50 back and then I can make a better decision on whether I wanna go with a Seth or a Custom in the bridge. The F50 is kind of a "dark" sounding amp.... and I had to crank the treble on the one in the store..but at home I know things will sound differently.

Thank You. Perhaps jes the Standard Plus models are made in China? I don know. As I said barring the top and the actual color of the back, it's not much to look at wood-wise, but it has very good tone and is put together pretty well.
I lowered the action a bit and it plays almost as nice as my Deluxe did. still not as nice, but it was 900 smackers less too. I think the big diff is I've actually come to prefer the 59 style fat neck on the Deluxe whereas the Standard+ has a 60's style neck.

Congrats Jeff! I dont know why people refuse to believe Epis can be good. Yes, there are some stinkers, but there are some good ones too. My Epi Ace Frehley is a fine guitar.. My only complaint with it is not a quality issue. It has a brighter tone than a normal LP. The neck is maple and not mahogany. It cuts through very nice, so it isnt a bad thing, but I like the deep throaty LP tone. Whatcha getting Now??
