New Guitar Day - Epiphone 1955 Joe Bonamassa model Les Paul

[famous beagle]

I used to be nothing but a Fender guy for decades, but an Epiphone Les Paul Special in TV yellow started to change my mind. It's an amazing guitar.

This one is even better. It's as nice as any guitar I've played. The finish is gorgeous and flawless, the fretwork is immaculate, beautiful binding and dark cherry back and sides, action was perfect right out of the box, pickups sound awesome.

At this point, what else do you want in a guitar?
A different name on the headstock?

I find the bits on those bridges just a bit too pointy for comfort.
Turned them round on my Epiphone Dot.

You're from Waukesha and you didn't start off with a Les Paul? That's almost sacrilegious!

For years, I only had humbuckers, then I added a few single coils. I've become a big fan of the P90 the last couple of years. Enjoy!

Ha! I'm actually from TX and didn't move to Waukesha until 2021. We're actually in Franklin now (South Milwaukee suburb); I guess I need to change my info on here.

Yes, I'm really digging the P90s as well.

Are you talking about the string saddles? That's interesting. I hadn't noticed any discomfort. Different for everyone, though, I'm sure!
