I’m enjoying my Epiphone Les Paul Classic every bit of her. She looks and weighs almost like my sold Gibson Les Paul Traditional and she plays like her too. Her Alnico classic pickups plays her vintage clean tones and her PAF-like overdrive tones like the Gibson. And she’s a fraction of the latter’s cost.
I’m keeping her until I can find a worthy replacement in a reasonably-priced Gibson.
I even bought her an almost perfect Epiphone hard case.
