I am proudly a new owner of a Epiphone Les Paul Custom Guitar

in Music3 years ago (edited)

Hello, or good afternoon, whichever works better (my worst intro ever)

This is my first post to this community and I hope I will be able to publish here regularly in the future as I am a music lover on top of everything else I do and I occasionally play the guitar. But in the meantime of my poor introduction, I am glad to be here.

Also, I wasn't sure if I was allowed to post this here but I want to share with you an achievement (yes, I call it a personal achievement) as I am proudly a new owner of an Epiphone Les Paul Custom guitar. As far as I know about the history of this guitar from the musician I bought (I hope all facts check), this specific model was discontinued in 2012 and was custom modified by a shop from the USA (he told me the name and location of the shop but I forgot, of course). The guitar also has two new pickups and they sound so brilliant.

I haven't made a video yet with this guitar because I had bought it a month ago in the UK where it was imported and since I've moved out I was super busy until recently and didn't have the chance to play.

More sadness for me is that upon moving out, not everything I was able to take with me, which means I left the amp behind, an audio interface as well... so for now, it does work if I connect it directly (with a wireless TX/RX) to my audio monitors which have TRS input.

But more or less, the guitar is stunning, the sound is so clear and vibrant and the harmonics just sound so lovely!
I could clearly hear the difference between setting it up between rhythm and treble even without an amp.

The guitar is just a joy to be played. As I had one of the cheapest Cort guitars, this is a huge upgrade for me. I feel so excited and can't wait to own a new amp to be able to use it at its capabilities. (except the part that I am a bit crappy player hehe).

Anyhow, I want to say to everyone from the Music community thank you for accepting me here and I hope to publish in the near future some of my guitar plays (as I have it now, a clean version) and to say to everyone publishing in this community that you are all amazing, I have been watching a lot of videos around here recently.


Farewell for now and stay safe!

Looking super fine… 🤩
My husband has about 9 guitars in his office.

Have fun playing it even though you had to leave some items behind in your move.

thank you!

I’m about to have some fun with it and ready to learn new songs / practice old ones.

I only have three guitars. This one, a Cort electric guitar and… a vintage old acoustic russian guitar (est 30 years old at least) - didn’t evaluated it but I’m in the process of restoring it.

You are welcome @lovelyscape 😊

Great to hear, have fun!

Think my husband has also a mix, acoustic and electric ones. Not sure which ones though…
Sounds really cool the vintage one. A great investment if you tell me. Or at least just super cool to have some old ones. 😎🤩

This guitar was an investment. The vintage one I bought from a bazar in Czech Republic about 10 years ago and it was gathering dust, at least until now. I bough it for pennies but I’ve recognised its value (still talking about the vintage russian acoustic one)
Maybe I’ll make a post about it hehe.

Thank you littlebee for your appreciation and support!

Maybe you should write about it, maybe even show when you restore it 😎
I understand. 😉

You are so welcome @lovelyscape 👋🏻

Wow, it's beautiful 😊
