As predominantly a Fender guy, playing strats and tele's, I wanted to add some new tones and variety to my playing and decided to check out Epiphones new standard series as the reviews have mainly been promising, bar the odd QC issues.
Pros -
I absolutely love the look and finish of the Bourbon burst!
It feels like a much more expensive instrument just to have it in your hands, definitely on a par with the MIM Fender stuff quality wise. Fretwork is nice and the factory setup was not bad at all.
Grover tuners feel great and I've had no issues with tuning stability.
Cons -
Pickups are decent and I'm not planning on replacing them although, the bridge does sound a bit muddy to my ears.
I'm used to playing fast satin necks and this sticky high gloss finish is definitely gonna take some getting used to.
It's a lot heavier than my other guitars so i've decided its gonna be more of a sit-down rather stand-up player.
I don't regret my purchase whatsoever and it feels good to finally own a Les Paul without the huge dent in my savings that a Gibson would have taken!
