I bought an Epiphone Elitists Les Paul Standard in vintage sunburst about a year ago. Just curious what other owners think of theirs.
I had a/b'd this against various Gibson Les Pauls (standard line, not Custom Shop) and came away pretty sure that this Epiphone was better built overall. I haven't been crazy about the bridge pickup; I think it sounds a bit too thin, but it sounds good on high gain. Any recommendations on replacement pickups for that bridge?
I see that Epi has taken the Standard out of production, leaving the Plus, Custom and Gold Top.
