2020 Epiphone Les Paul Standard Electric Guitar

Update September '23: this guy got a small bump while in the shop to the back/waist area of the guitar. It's been filled and blackened so it's not obvious at a glance. I took a couple more shots to show the current condition.

This guy's a lightly-used Epiphone Les Paul Standard (I believe it's the '60s Model) from a few years back. I know I'm wearing myself out saying it, but it does have to be said that it's quite ridiculous what value you get with newer import guitars these days. This thing is cut right, feels right, sounds right, and looks right -- it's a set-neck Paul with a standard-style open-book headstock, brighter/cleaner humbuckers, and a fast neck.

It's got a small nick/chunk out of the cut on the back but aside from that, playwear is a little light scratching to the pickguard and body and the tiniest wear to the frets. I've given it a good setup and it's ready to go. Keep in mind the strings on it were a little old in the video so it's not got the snappiest response to the bass in the recording.

Repairs included: a setup and light cleaning.
