Hey Jeff,

Just a quick question about your thoughts on your epiphone les paul? I've
been looking for my first electric, and think I've decided on one of these
guitars (a les paul standard)... I haven't really seen anything bad said
about them, and they look so beautiful.

Chris

I have been playing for 40 years and have had several Les Pauls.
I recently tried an epi Les Paul Custom and I was very impressed with
it.
Definately a nice professional guitar.

I'm still looking around for a second hand epiphone les paul standard. I
have seen one which is slightly 'damaged.' It has a small varnish blemish
under the bridge and the top of the pickup selector switch is broken off.
Still perfectly usable! Due to these two things which doesn't affect it's
sound in any way I could get it from perhaps a 3rd if less of full retail
price. I'm interested in others opinions on buying a slightly damaged (but
great sounding) guitar? I guess it means it has an history and character,
but as it's a first electric I'm a bit unsure whether to buy it or not.

Most Epiphones with set necks (not bolt on necks) are good guitars.
If you can pick up one that is blemished and it does not cause any
playing problems for a good price I say do it.
