Well a third new guitar just got added. " Ah a Jeffrey Phillip Wielandt Model! " our local guitar tech called it.
Some numb nuts painted the bottom back of the neck about 3 inches up in bright white to form a ^ upwards point to match the downwards point at the bottom of the rear of the head stock. Did a sloppy job too. That put a good dent in the value of this one.
I've got it at our local guitar tech's shop to fix the finish back on the neck back to stock and give it a set-up. For some reason the action was way high and intonation was off on a string or two. I couldn't get it to fret out or buzz on any fret so I'm not sure why it was set so high.
I've never been a Les Paul type of guitar fan. Weight and rounded necks, nah keep em.
Maybe my taste is changing, but this one didn't feel to bad in the hands and sounded incredible. Sustain for days as well. It's just an Epiphone, but it's definitely made an impact on how I feel about Les Paul style guitars. Needle in a hay stack?
Seems like everyone has had or still makes their own version of the LP from Ibanez to Washburn and most manufactures in between.
