it's my birthday tomorrow and im think of buying this

, i saw it at the shop and it felt nice and sounded really good, i'd rather a gibson but i dont have 5000 dollars, i compared it with the White Pinstripe one but it sounded heaps better and it's only $1200

wow that sounds a little expensive for an Epiphone IMO.

yeah it's on sale for like 1200 but the guy at the shop says he'll get it close to 1000, i live in australia too so the currency proly different to where you live.

yeah, Australian Dollars are quite weak so therefore they sound a lot, but 1200 in Aussie is like 500 to 600

I put some money down on a Zakk Wylde LP Custom(Camo), It was wierd trying to choose cause i liked the white one heaps and it sounds good but i think i chose the better one with EMG pickups and maple neck. It's only my second guitar ever so i guess im pretty happy, well i will be when i finish paying it off

Well, 1200 AUD is atm 483.873 Pounds Sterling, so you weren't that far away

now you just need to put in some sweet pickups ...

preferrably the BL L500XL

I thought the EMG pickups were good enough that i wouldn't need to change them? that's why i spent more on the zakk wylde guitar instead of the normal white custom.. and what are BL L500XL ? i've still got this feeling that white guitar looks cooler than the camo paint one, the pickups on the white one were just silver or gold and they had ''Epiphone waxed pickups'' or something like that written on them, The Zakk Wylde one only sounded a little bit better and the neck felt a bit better. i had to spend like $1500 so i couldn't even afford to buy a hardcase for it so they just left it on the stand, that sort of pissed me off

heres the pic of the guitar

The L500XL from Bill Lawrence

A killer pickup indeed.
Best I've heard

I'd like to see Gibson offer a Les Paul with a maple fingerboard without the graphics. I've always preferred maple fingerboards but Gibson seems opposed to them.

Art of Shredding.........The white Epiphone is very sharp. Happy Birthday too, by the way.

I bought one a few months ago, a Les Paul Custom white, and I replaced the black knobs with gold ones and got a straplock kit and a case for it. It is an awesome guitar.
