My primary guitar is a "Premier" Les Paul Standard copy, cherry sunburst. If you've seen a Epiphone Less Paul its pretty much the same thing. Bought it around 1978 I think. At the time a friend of mine was playing a real Les Paul Standard, which I though was nice but just too damn heavy. The one I bought is a lighter wood, had whiny pickups which I immediately replaced with a DiMarzzio. Left the bridge pickup, it sounds nice for some stuff. After 24 years it still feels as good as any guitar I've ever touched, and still has that huge 70's guitar crunch sound.
Moral of the story is that I'm more interested in how the thing plays & sounds than in what name is on it.
Only bad memory is that my friend later sold his Les Paul for $200, and NOT TO ME. Saw the same damn guitar up for sale recently for $3500. $$#@#@#$##!!!!
