I've owned my Gibson Les Paul Studio worn addition for 2 yrs now and it's has such a warn tone to it so I would recomend and Epi series because I've owned 2 Epi's one a studio that I just recently traded for a Ultra But not the Ultra2 This epi is really a nice guitar,Low action Beutiful looks and craftsmanship,I would recomend one all day long :)
