    Casino's are great fun. I want one myself. I am hoping to get one by years end. They are light (a plus when you've a bad back like mine) and they should great with the hollow body and the P-90 pickups.

    Epi's are not horrible at all. Epi Explorers are probably one of their best guitars. The `56 Les Paul reissue with P-90's is a great guitar. Both might need to have the tuning heads swapped out.

    The Slash model Les Paul is basically around $1000USD but comes with some great Seymour Duncan pickups. I got mine for $650.00 on E-Bay.

    Any other Epi Les Paul would be fine, as a start... you'd probably want to swap out the tuners for some Shaller's at some point... and swap out the pickups too. But even with the upgrades, it's still cheaper than most Gibson Les Paul's.



    Yeah, I may need to (one day) change the pickups, but that's not on the agenda right now; just get guitars for now, then piss around with them once I've got a few (and the cash to spend on such adjustments).

    Exactly, no one said you must upgrade in 2 weeks or they'll explode.

    But yeah, get a few... get some effects together... they may all work great for you and sound great to your ears. If not, you can make adjustments along the way.

    Oh, my bad, I thought they were

    I was thinking a Boss GT6 because I like things where it's got lots of different patches etc. to piss about with and all the effects are built-in, it's just for you to mess around with and find something you like
  4. Fuck, you all know much more than I could imagine...

    If that's towards me aswell as Jeff, I assure you, I'm fairly limited with regard to guitar knowledge
  6. By the way, my granfather owns a Gibson, but I don't know which model is it. It looks pretty much like a Les Paul, but it's not a LP. All I can remember is the name begins with an "A" (Alison? Armoris? Artonise? )... Anybody knows what is it?

    I've been searching, can't find anything beginning with "a" - best ask Jeff I guess lol.
  8. Three pick ups and six switches is not standard at all!

    It IS a Les Paul. It is a Les Paul Artisan. they were made between 1976 and 1982.

    If you get the serial number (on the back of the headstock) I can tell you exactly what vintage it is, date, and factory it came out of.

    (Gibson's being made in Kalamazoo, MI and Nashville, TN during 1976-1982)
  11. That guitar is beautiful.
  12. More on the Artisan here:
    http://www.lespaulforum.com/slubarticle/artisan/artisan1.03.html

    The pickups don't appear to all be factory. They should also have pickup covers.

    That said, the small switches between the tone and volume knobs appear to be alterations too. Might be for coil tapping. Might be some effect that was later built into it? But the lil switches to not appear to be factory issue.

    The inlay work on the Artisan's live up to their name. Gorgeous guitars.
