Love at first strum. Picked it up felt the chunky neck wow. Sighted down the neck looks good. Tuned it up and pluged into VoxAC 15 and it was all I needed. Been waiting for Les Paul with P90s for some time, was worth the wait. Setup is spot on. Nice guitar, thank you Epiphone, thank you ZZounds. P.S. My 13 year old is already trying to get it out of my hands and into his.
