sunburst- http://www.long-mcquade.com/products/1165/Guitars/Electric/Epiphone/Les_Paul_Special_II_-_Vintage_Sunburst.htm

white- http://www.long-mcquade.com/products/7348/Guitars/Electric/Epiphone/Les_Paul_Special_II_-_White.htm

your answers will be greatly appreiciated thank you!!!!!

I love the white and black ones, but the sunburst ones hold their value better because they look like classics. If there’s a chance you’ll want to sell your guitar in a few years, the sunburst would be your best bet. But if the guitar’s going to be with you for decades, I’d recommend going with the white one. White Les Pauls aren’t as common as black ones and they look outstanding under stage lights.

This is an older Engl Soveriegn 100 vintage 112. Not sure of the year, i think the model is E360 . speaker is a Celestion 1 x 12 GT75 T using a les paul to demo. all valve amp , 10 valves, 4 x 5881 and 6 x ecc83 . A good all round amp with tons of Gain. There is the new model of this amp but i don`t know what the differences are in comparison. Hope you get the idea of its sound. thanks.

I just got this Epi LP from guitar center for about $660 including insurance. This guitar is beautiful and is one of Epiphone’s best instruments in

terms of quality and value, the price was $570 without taxes and insurance and the listing price or MSRP was $1,042 and is well worth it.

The link for the guitar at guitar center - http://www.guitarcenter.com/Epiphone-Les-Paul-Ultra-Electric-Guitar-103140299-i1150180.gc

The guitar has a maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard with trapezoid inlayes and a satin finish on the back of it to make it smooth and easy

to play. The body is chambered with alder/mahogany wood making different tonal opportunities available while also taking away some of the

weight compared to a solid Les Paul. The body is fitted with gold hardware including gold grover tuners and gold classic alnico humbucker

pickups making this a very versatile guitar with a quilted top to finish it off. This guitar is awesome and is fit for rock or any other playing style

being one of the tools of the trade for guitar players. For your consideration, the Epiphone Les Paul Ultra.

I really want one and its cheaper and for satisfying to make it! But I can’t find any free plans or blueprints for the body’s curves and neck thickness and so on!

Sorry, no such plans exist because the Les Paul design is the intellectual property of Gibson Guitars, Inc. They make far too much money selling Les Pauls to give away the plans.

And you are very misinformed about what it would take to make the equivalent. You would need a machine shop and years of experience in order to make a steel truss rod and embed it in the neck. You would need similar years of experience to learn how to set the frets into the fingerboard evenly and with correct placement. Then let’s add the years of experience at painting and finishing wood to create the finish on the guitar. And if you want to mimic a real Les Paul instead of the cheapo price-reduced versions Gibson has been cranking out for years, lets not forget the skills necessary to inlay mother-of-pearl in the fretboard and add multiple layers of binding around the neck and headstock. And the machinery and time required to hand-wind thousands of turns of thread-thin wire around each pole of a magnetic pickup (you do know how to make magnets, right?) without breaking the wire.

Cheaper and better? Buy a used Les Paul for $500 with case. You can’t even buy the parts for a Les Paul for that amount. Pickups alone would cost you around $100 each.

Now a Les Paul Junior, being a vintage collectible, is going to be more expensive than that. Which is yet another reason why Gibson isn’t giving away the plans.

Wampler Plexi-Drive Overdrive (clean at the end), TC Nova Repat Delay, Fender Vibroverb 1963 is an original vintage amp - not the Reissue. I know that I will get 100 mails/day peaople asking me what the difference is. It is a big difference! Sounds great, warm, accepts pedals much better - - it is just a totally different amp. Please check my youtube startpage for FAQs/recording setup etc. I get 250 E-mails every day (!) People from all over the world asking me if they better buy themselve a mexican or japanese Telecaster, how good is an Epiphone Les Paul compare to a Gibson, what amp, tubes, pickups, differences beetween guitars, settings and so on, and so on… I’m sorry, It is simply not possible (!) to answer all these mails and questions !! I hope you understand. Gregor

Other than the Black Beauty having 3 pick-ups and the Custom having only 2. Are there any others? They look exactly the same other than that and the price difference isn’t that significant.

Would like to know as I am planning to buy a Les Paul at the end of the year and prefer the look of the Custom (2 pick ups) and could live without an additional one. However, i wouldnt mind payin the extra $200AUD if its worth the upgrade.

they are exactly the same besides having a mid pickup. both are mahogany with rosewood fretboard (22 frets). even have the same pups, vol and tone pots. they are literally exactly the same besides that one pup. and on the one with two pups, you can set the tone to a combination of the neck and bridge pickups, essentially making the same sound that the middle pickup would make (it has a 3-way pickup switch.) Its not worth the extra money for that one pickup, theyre a pretty crappy pickups anyway (id replace them). good luck
