Joe Bonamassa Epiphone Les Paul Registry (Page 13 of 16)

Hi Phil: Thanks for your note, Cambridge, Ontario. I have always been a bit concerned about putting serial numbers on the internet. I appreciate that enthusiasts of the guitar want to document the location and verify how many instruments are out there and in working order.

Going to see Joe this Saturday in London Ontario, it should be fun.

Regards

Albin

Great guitar own one myself and still delighted with the quality and sound. Mine was the same with a slight rattle. The truss rod was tight with no relief . A quarter of a turn off sorted it. Enjoy, And welcome to the forum.

Found mine used with no paperwork. #12021508408.

Did have to clean the fret board, oil it down and dress up the frets a little to get rid of the ting ting when you bend the strings but overall not one complaint about this beauty! Also set the intonation on it which was off a little. The sound and sustain was great but I knew it could sound better so i completely gutted it and installed all new Switchcraft parts ie. 3 way switch, jackplate and all new matched CTS volume and tone pots. Also installed a bumblebee capacitor to top everything off including pickup wiring. This thing is a monster! Have a 100 watt Marshall that I play through plus I have 2 500 watt Rockman headcases that have different modules in them. A brand new Standard doesn't sound as good as this beauty! I'll have this for a very long time. My only complaint is they made another run of 1000 of these. Doesn't sound too limited edition to me.

Hey Y'all,

Newb here...... just found the forum.

bought mine used from GC 

S/N 12091507672.

1st electric so I can't give a review, other than the fret board was a mess.

All the open grain in the wood was filled with white dust .....I'm told from final buffing at factory
...looked like $h!t.....took me 5 hours with dental tools and a magnifier to get it cleaned out.

Seems they just oiled over it sealing it in, making it a paste-like substance when I started digging it out....very friggin tedious, but worth it now that's it's done.

I then used Bore Doctor cleaner and oil to refinish.....Many passes of cleaner with toothbrush gently took it to a bleached driftwood kinda look and then oiled with Qtips.....took about 4 applications....but now......
well it's a beatiful thing....like it should have been from factory...!

Better actually.......

Thanks...happy to have finally found others obsessed with JB's playing....I must say I'm a little shocked in how his popularity grown, to what I'd consider more "mainstream".....as I used to see him frequently at BB Kings in NYC from 10 feet (or 3 meters ; ) )away, in the company of only music industry people and other musicians .

Don't get me wrong I'm very happy about the sucess....it restores my faith in the human race or condition.....to a degree.....when you consider what most people watch and listen to out there.

(I chose the psycho path myself) laddy.....
