Epiphone Les Paul Custom Pro

[protein chups]

Hi guys, i want to buy this guitar at the next week - http://www.epiphone.com/Products/Les-Paul/Les-Paul-Custom-PRO.aspx (Alpine White like from the game's cover)

Can someone who using it can recommend me this or maybe not? How it sounds on heavy metal or does it have any problems? I really need your help, thank you!

My LP is a Gibson Custom and it's an amazing guitar. Epiphone's are just about the same, some are even better than some Gibsons. I'd get it.

It's an awesome guitar! Although I'd get it in black, white will get dirty really fast and scratches will be visible, and it's too shiny

[grimlog]

... but black LPs look awesome :D I can confirm, that you easily see any scratches on them though.

Oh, thank you, but white colour is hiding scratches or no, i really want white haha. btw what do you mean under setup? Like strings, scale length, humbuckers and other?

Have the professionals at the shop set your guitar up. Try to work it into the price if you can. Basically, they will adjust the intonation to make sure your guitar is "setup" to sound as good as possible, which will enhance your RS playing experience. Enjoy!

Pull the trigger, get a setup, take it home and rock out. Nice guitar!!!!

Just FYI, the Epiphone Les Paul Tribute Plus model is even better than the Custom in my opinion, for not much more money. If money IS an issue, a Standard Pro will give you effectively the same guitar as the Custom, just without as much "bling" and a smaler price tag. And the Studio an even smaller price tag.

I own all 4 of these Epiphone models, so I'm speaking from experience.

All Epiphone Les Pauls can do the same types of music, which is pretty much anything except the super twangy country stuff.

Thank you so much for paying attention and help .

But yeah, money is an issue, so i can't choose a tribute plus.

What about Standard Pro - in my shop difference in money between this and custom pro very low and it's not looking like what i want, so i think not this one.

So the last is Studio. Yes, price is really smaller, but on Custom Pro you have better pickups with coil split option, which are very great, because you have a bigger range of tone you want. And at last, i don't like how studio looks too.

And again, thank you very much for trying to help me

I'd reccomend on doing it himself. Assuming he said money is an issue, he can watch a few videos on youtube and do it. No floyd rose setup is easy
