Well, I never thought I'd see the day, but I did it, I bought a Les Paul. Brand new, right out of the box(I saw the guy take it out) Black Epiphone Standard Les Paul with vintage white trim and pickgaurd, Gibson USA Humbuckers. What a sweet playing guitar. It is much easier to solo on this guitar than on my Tele, but the Tele has a tighter string setting so its easier to fret chords at a quick speed. Now I finally have two of my all time favorite guitars.
