Christmas present to myself.
As great as second hand bargains are, there's something to be said about being the first owner of a brand spanking new guitar.Are you going to play it asap or be good and wait until Thursday?
I've tuned it, and it's on the wall until tomorrow!

Yes - I've been looking at second hand ones for a while, but they're not really that much cheaper, and this is a new one in a limited edition colour (Bourbon Burst) and has the coil tapping pro pickups.

In my very limited experience of Epiphone Les Pauls it seems prices are all over the show. The shops are asking for nearly new money, and ebay is an utter minefield with seemingly identical guitars selling at hundreds of pounds apart and that's before you get some downright cheeky sellers not happy with a final bid of say £275 and pulling the no reserve 30 bid auction with 20 minutes to go and re-listing them with a starting price of £300 the next day.I've tuned it, and it's on the wall until tomorrow!

How come it's got 5 bridgey bits on the front, but only 4 bolts through the back to hold them on?
The 4 on the back are the bolts that hold the bridge in place - the 5 bridges are attached to that. Quite a solid piece of metal - as you'd expect from the extra scale length the sustain on the B and E strings is unbelievable. The low strings are a bit thinner than I'm used to @ .045, .058, .075, .098 & .127.Baryonyx said:

cracking colour & finish, but 1 too many strings!!!
Either one short, or one too many for my preferences.Being able to use the B-string in the 5-12 fret positions without the tone or intonation suffering is the biggest win on this bass - previous 5s just didn't manage the feel and sound as well so I'd play more like a 4-string and use the B only for the 5 low notes! having to re-learn my playing to an extent which is never a bad thing.
Not found the fan frets to be an issue yet although the 1-3 frets and anything above 16th require a bit of concentration!
