I hear ya bro. I hope to have that Edwards by the end of this week. I don't know if I'll like it or not, but I'm SERIOUSLY hoping it lives up to the hype. I really want to love it, but I'll definitely give it a fair review.EunosFD said:I went on a little LP playing spree tonight at GC and tried out a handful of them & only one was even worth of consideration. It was a dark cherry Standard with gold hardware & it was actually very very nice & probably one of the better LP's I've played in ages. With that said the $2200 price tag just didn't seem worth it. Granted, this one was brand new so a used one will be another story. However, after seeing the Edwards Page LP that SgtThump just bought & seeing Lestercollectors sweet little collection of Japanese LP's I'm pretty much sold on going that route. I wish it were easier to try them out before buying though, but at the price point they ask it's almost a no-brainer. After tonight I think I may have to give in to temptation after all.
Did you try any epiphones? I read a review of a handful of Epihone LP's in a British mag last year, and all of them fared quite well (the only complaint seemed to be that they didn't like the tuners).EunosFD said:I went on a little LP playing spree tonight at GC and tried out a handful of them & only one was even worth of consideration.
Been down that road too many times my friend - cost me alot of money & I've learned this .... If you want a LEs Paul, do NOT settle for less, you WILL be disappointed. Sure, lots of guitars come close, but I haven't found one yet that nails the LP tone & vibe. For now, grab a LP Studio ... used. It won't set you back more than $700 & you can save up for your dream guitar. My current studio plays & more importantly, SOUNDS as good as any LP Standard I've ever owned. In the dark, I bet nobody could tell the differnce between it & a Standard...blues junkie said:
