I'm learning guitar (started in Feb), but have always lusted for LPs. I never paid much attention to which gear creates which sounds, but have heard nothing but raves about Les Pauls whenever anyone has talked guitars.

So a few weeks back, i got my hands on what turned out to be a slightly trashed Epiphone LP100. To my inexperienced hands, it felt smooth and easy to play. I began to understand what the fuss is about. And now, having learned a lesson about buying used guitars from internet ad boards, I'm lusting for a good solid Epiphone Les Paul.

These reviews only fuel that fire. Thanks much.

P.S. Rules agreed, accept all conditions. Full speed ahead.
