get the white and if you can’t, get the sunburst

Is this a good guitar selection?

Filed under:  vintage les paul  by:  admin

I am a beginner guitarist and I am looking at getting at getting an Epiphone Les Paul (vintage sunburst) as my first electric guitar. Is this a good choice? Y or y not?

Epiphones are good guitars but it depends on the series you are looking at, They have several different qualities. I would suggest you check out the Agile guitars at http://rondomusic.com

They are a better quality and less expensive.

“The Spirit of America” Gibson Les Paul Guitar Will Be on Display at Ellis Island
July 14, 2010 — August 1, 2011
Grammy Award Winning Guitarist Duane Eddy to Help Open Exhibit

New York, NY, (July 8, 2010) A one of a kind custom designed Gibson Les Paul guitar will be unveiled to the public for the first time since it’s creation at the Ellis Island Immigration Museum on July 14, 2010. What makes this guitar so historically significant is that it is entirely hand crafted from artifacts preserved during the centennial restoration of the Statue of Liberty National Monument and Ellis Island.

This meaningful instrument was commissioned by Gold Leaf Corporation, through an exclusive agreement with The Statue of Liberty–Ellis Island Foundation, Inc., and crafted at Gibson’s Custom & Historic Division in Nashville, TN.

The entire body of the guitar is made from wood that was preserved from steps and doors of the historic Main Building at Ellis Island, the copper inlay and hardware of the Les Paul guitar were created from copper that was preserved from the Statue of Liberty National Monument. Gibson also created a beautiful display for the guitar from a section of an armature bar that was removed and preserved from the Statue of Liberty.

The Liberty Les Paul is the second in a series of fifty independent works of art (representing the 50 states) that will be made from the artifacts and known as “Liberty Ambassadors”. The first work of art in the series was the Liberty Bike, which was featured on the Discovery Channel.
Utilizing the universal language of music, this beautiful example of instrumental art will always serve to inspire the unifying message of hope and freedom while celebrating the diversity of America.

American guitar legend Duane Eddy will help dedicate this meaningful guitar. He is a Grammy Award winner, and a member of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.”

“The Spirit of America” Gibson Les Paul is one of the most symbolic and meaningful guitars in the world. It will be on display at the Ellis Island Immigration Museum through August 1, 2011.
