Well I waivered on this one, but decided that I would go for a cheaper Epiphone Les Paul and buy a Gibson down the road when I'm good enough to have the better guitar make difference.

I wish I had an ounce of musical talent and a little time to practice. I've had my Yamaha bass for a few years now, and I can play Happy Birthday, and I've almost got the Monkees' "Steppin' Stone" down. LOL.

It takes a lot of practice. I noticed a HUGE difference when I started playing every day. I play at least a half hour every day, usually more. I take my little rover with me when I work and play for a full 8 hours LOL



I am going to start some lessons here in the next couple weeks to learn some musical theory and help identify the areas i can improve.

nice! i think those epi's are actually quite good, the real gibsons are kinda spotty. you will want to upgrade the pickups in it, the stockers sound kinda muddy

Yea, i'm looking at getting a pickup for my acoustic too so maybe i'll hook them both up. Any recommendations for a bridge pickup conversion for a regular acoustic?

i like those ones that just pop in the soundhole.

My son plays a real one, but this is about as close as I get.
