The quest for a Les Paul....

Well, I have looked around and played tons of Les Pauls lately....
Guitar Center here has literally about 30 Epiphone LPs, so I tried
most of those.

I've come to the conclusion that the type that feels and plays best
is the Epiphone Les Paul Standard. Black with a white raised pickguard
(if I get one, I'm taking the pickguard off -- might replace the white pickup
mounts with black ones too).

They have 2 or 3 at GC, but they are beat up.... so I'm talking to the guy
I know at Sweetwater, and saving up my nickles and dimes.... They are 40%
off there. Also checking for one around town....

They look like this:

but i like the white pickups haha. it's a nice one Z...hope you find a good deal! never pay full price, because there is always someone with a fair one out there! have you looked at amazon.com? i get amazing deals on stuff. things that would be 40 to 60$ i got for less then 20$ etc. not to forget great shipping deals or even free shipping if you spend a certain amount in their store. just thought i'd mention it. they seem to have everything...i ordered allot of my lawn decor from amazon.

Hey GinN! I usually get good deals. Not as great as the ones Dace gets!
I have sold a bunch of stuff on eBay, but not bought much....

Heck I got that Marshall Tube Amp off Craigslist for a steal.

Plenty of Les Pauls on Craigslist, but most of them are Sunburst...
Need a blacker than black one.

Cool! Thanks GinN. Yeah I know a guy at Sweetwater... he is good at
picking out the right one when I need one....

It's going to be a few weeks I think. I need to shuffle cash into paypal
and such so the wife doesn't freak out about credit card bills...

Z

hehe yeah...i don't have a credit card. i don't want one either...i just ask a family member if they can order it for me(i find the best deal) and then i pay them cash for it. how do you use paypal?

Paypal is pretty easy. You can hook it up to a bank account. Then
you just transfer money (on the paypal website) from your bank account
into the payal account (it takes 3 days to do it for free).

Then you can use paypal to pay for stuff online (not everywhere, but a lot
of places take it). Most people that use eBay use Paypal.

I just have some money from each paycheck go into my credit union account,
and then when I need to I transfer some into paypal. That way I can pay
online without using any credit cards....

ohh okay...so would i need to set up an online account at my bank for that? sorry, i know nothing about this stuff. i get payed, and the money goes into my savings and if i need money at the time i just take what i need or take out as i need it. i'm trying to save as much as i can. so i don't want a credit card...

yeah GinN. you can sign up for paypal and hook it to your bank account.
it won't do anything until you tell it to. it's a good way to get paid when
you sell on eBay.

you don't need to talk to your bank, you can do it all at paypal.

Awesome Z!

Hi GINN..

DACE>

hey thanks! i might look into that. it would be allot easyer for me, for sure. i won't have to depend on someone else. i don't like to do that anyway hehe. and hi dace, how are you hun?

Might end up with one of these instead of the Epiphone




Played one.... wow.

Z

This one plays nice too, but they only had it in flametop



Great pickups

Stay tuned.... should have it in a week or two.

It SCREAMS METAL. Big Time. And plays like a dream.
