Epiphone/Gibson Les Paul Black Beauty Custom. I have never been so happy.

0/32 has anyone play one?

I played the gibson in a guitar center.
Definately not something I'd buy. It's not a bad guitar or anything, and it was constructed well, but the shape, weight, and tone I dislike. also, the balance point for the straps was terrible.

attention whore

should have just saved the money and sprung for a gibby.

where in philly did u buy it?

I know a "true" gibson les paul but I cant afford a 3 grand + guitar. This is close enought for me its a gibson/epiphone. I liked this guitar becasue of all the ones i have been checking out I found this one to be the most versitile for my budget. I like the tone being that I would primairly be using it for writing indi/noise core it works great. Yet with a flick of a switch and a twist of some knobs (how are those for technical terms) work great for metal.

I second that

Old Gibsons rule. I have '69 SG. Red like Tony/Angus. It was mint when I got it. Beaten to shit now, but still plays awesome.

i got a 1979 les paul custom for under a grand. you just gotta look.

and where did you get a 69 sg?

I have a 1983 gibson flying-v, got it for $250.

Nice.

I have an 83 explorer.

I also have an explorer custom shop, not sure what year. mid 80's I think.

Some vintage shop in the middle of nowhere Ohio.
I brought 2 guitars on tour. At the first show I got too drunk and Pete Townsended my Explorer. At the 2nd show I got too drunk and Pete Townsended my black SG. I bought the red SG on the way to the 3rd show and decided to drink slightly less. I got it for $1,200 (I had credit back then) The guy had a '66 too but it was too much.
I heard most of my old black SG is hanging on some kid's mantel with my blood all over it.

Actually I have another SG, an '83 I think, that's in pieces (Neurosis/EyeHateGod/AC show at the Middle East 8 years ago). Anyone good at putting smashed guitars back together? I was able to grab all the pieces to that one before the kids got to it.

Black and white? That's what mine was. Like Hetfield circa Puppets. '83 too.

Nah it's not black and white. Here it is....
