[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

Haven’t played the Gibson version but I really enjoyed the EPI! Glad you like it!

[@pauljohnson3686]

Except for the laurel fretboard which is not as nice looking as rosewood

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

@@pauljohnson3686 Totally agree. I don’t actually like Laurel. Something about it!

[@Gonzo26ish]

Hey I can command C command V too!

For those that even care it's called factory Burst Because that's the original cherry red color they came in back in 1959. It's called factory burst because there's no fading yet. That is what it would look like brand new out of the factory.

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

I care! Thanks for sharing!

[@pauljohnson3686]

Why didn't they stretch out a little extra and put a rosewood fretboard on... I have a casino with Indian Laurel and I really don't like the look or feel of it.. I have to bath it in Lemon Oil every week as it is too dry and grainy.

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

I agree. I'm not a fan of Laurel fretboards!

[@andreaslundberg4251]

Fingerboard is made of indian laurel.. and it's a one-piece mahogany neck

[@Zoso981]

I bought the Tobacco Burst, I polished the top and sides, did a (minor) setup on it and it's now one of my favorite guitars. It sounds and plays as good (if not better) than any of my Gibson USA Les Pauls.

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

It’s a killer guitar! Which other Gibsons did you have?

[@Zoso981]

@JorgeSalasGuitar I've got a 2019 Gibson LP Traditional, a newer 2022 SG Standard and a 2016 Les Paul Classic. Along with an Epiphone Les Paul Adam Jones Custom and a Guild Polara Deuxe. Next purchase will be either a Les Paul Custom or an ES-335.

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

@@Zoso981 Dude the LP classic is my best guitar! At least my favorite. Is it the Epi or Gibson?

[@Zoso981]

@@JorgeSalasGuitar Mine is the Gibson LP Classic. These days, my go-to guitar is my Epiphone Adam Jones. It's a beast.

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

@@Zoso981 Man, Gibson LP Classic is my best guitar! I'm interested to try the Adam Jones! Maybe I'll do a review of it soon! Thanks for your comments!

[@Edward1312]

The fingerboard is made of Indian Laurel not Rosewood.

[@JorgeSalasGuitar]

Thank you! Missed that 🙏🏼
