[QUOTE="Leif, post: 6465667, member: 48762"] [b]Guitar News[/b] Well, they've finally done it! Gibson has unveiled their 2015 Les Paul line, and they are the sorriest excuses for axes that I've seen in awhile. Personally, I wouldn't have one at all, and I surely wouldn't pay the thousands that they are asking for retail prices! I do wish I had ordered an Epiphone Les Paul Standard or Les Paul Custom in either 2012 or 2013, but as it stands, I'm quite happy with my Epi Les Paul 100. Like I said before, it's more guitar than I can comfortably use to its potential. Getting back to the new Gibson offerings for 2015: [b]THEY SUCK![/b] I would actually rather have a Fender Squier than one of them. Truth be told, the Fender Squier line and Gibson's Epiphone line actually have a lot in common. They're both Asian, factory made replicas of the true USA originals. They're both offered at a much lower, vaguely similar price compared to their American siblings. And it's getting so that nowadays, if you find an American made guitar, you're going to pay through the nose, or other equally uncomfortable orifice, for the privilege of playing it.
