Epiphone: '60s LP

Epiphone has launched a series of '60s-era Les Pauls as a limited edition run (so don't expect them to debut at your dealers' readily). The manufacturer promises the correct feature-era details which, in my opinion, should have been done as a regular production offering. The current offering of Epi LPs are not accurate in this aspect. However, the cost factors might have prevented the manufacturer from doing so.

Some tone clips here...

for the V3, t's a slim taper neck in there, but for all models, pickups are Gibson's Burstbuckers.

Epiphone has been churning out more high end models recently. From the Tribute Les Paul Standard, to the 1959 and now the 1960. All of them feature top grade electronics and that "deep set" neck joint feature. Was wondering if Bro Sub will do a review on these models?

the industry watch says, it's not only Epiphone who're at it; Squier are now into mid-priced units as well.

guitars will be appraised as soon as they are available for trying :-)
