Dad3353 Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) Whilst waiting patiently for the Epiphones to come in stock, buy one of these, available right now, to keep your hand in.... Epiphone Les Paul Special... If you're interested in those (fine...) Epiphone Limited Editions, the Gibson will bring you nothing more worth the difference, in my opinion. Don't forget to budget for a decent amp, naturally. As an aside, if you buy a total of three guitars from these folks, get a hard case thrown in as a bonus (the others already have them...), as you'll need somewhere to put the ones you're not playing. Who knows, it could be the LP Special that gets played the most. Edited February 2, 2021 by Dad3353 Quote
EdwardMarlowe Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 For my money the Epiphones are now getting to a price where I'd probably rather buy a Gibson Les Paul Tribute if that's what I was going for. Be interesting to see how retail price on the top end Epiphones shakes down over the next few years. Quote
