Appetite Burst Les Paul I've had the Epi version for a couple years but finally sprung for a purebread.  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File As expected, the pickups are a little darker than the Epi and it's quite a bit heavier. The neck profile feels just a tad bit meatier but it plays wonderfully. No high or low frets and the action measures where it should on all strings so it looks like Gibson's pleck job works as advertised. Flame top is decent, not the very best I've seen but I'm happy with it. |

(which ironically was itself a Les Paul clone and not a true Gibson) |
