Review>>Delightfully Surprised by Sound and Weight..I bought this Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus recently and was really surprised by its sound and weight. Comparing it to my Les Paul Supreme and my Les Paul Florentine, I found it to weigh about the same as the Supreme, which is cored. The finish is very good, the figuring doesn't quite look like the picture (I bought a "honey burst" that showed about the same figuring. I'd give the figuring an "A" but not an "AA," but the figuring matched. The back is a finished mahogany and very nice, not a solid dark stain like an Les Paul Classic I once had, which weighed probably 8 lbs more.
The sound was very good, not as "lively" as the Supreme or Florentine, but for $2,600.00 less, it shouldn't be. However, when cranked up, it was hardly distinguishable. The action was indistinguishable to me, but I'm a novice of sorts.
If you are looking for a good LP sound at a very affordable price, I wouldn't hesitate getting this. Parents could even afford to give this to see if it brings out the "talent" in their teenager.
I bought mine through Musician's Friend because I know they have a no questions asked return policy. I would suggest you get the hardcase ($59.95) and some better strings (10mm Gibson's is standard for Gibson's LP).
