And for most burst finished I would agree, but there is something about a tobacco burst like this one that just makes me weak at the knees.WookieThu, 06 Dec 2007 20:16:42 -0000http://guitartoybox.com/2007-12-03/be-still-my-heart-epiphone-slash-les-paul/#comment-1590409I'm not a fan of the finish on this guitar the burst seems a little harsh, and makes a sort of teardrop shape, also I don't like the Epi headstock but that's just me. I'd personally take the money for this guitar and put it toward a cheaper Gibson.JonTue, 04 Dec 2007 16:49:58 -0000http://guitartoybox.com/2007-12-03/be-still-my-heart-epiphone-slash-les-paul/#comment-1590411Yeah, not a huge amount but enough to be noticable for someone with a back or shoulder injury. It also depends on the model. I have two Epi's, an older generic type model and an Epi Goth (both LP's). The Goth is noticably heaver due to the chunkier neck radius and slightly thicker body.WookieMon, 03 Dec 2007 20:14:32 -0000http://guitartoybox.com/2007-12-03/be-still-my-heart-epiphone-slash-les-paul/#comment-1590410Does an Epi weigh less than a Gibson? I've got an Epi LP Standard which is pretty solid but I'd never compared it to a Gibson.Isaac PriestleyMon, 03 Dec 2007 11:00:31 -0000
