Epiphone Les Paul Tribute 1960

Nice axe!! To bad it is not a real Gibson....lol I recently sold my Gibson Les Paul Gold Top for $5,000. I bought it in 1975 for $800.00 I played in a band once in awhile and then one day I put it away in my old bedroom at my parents house and let it sit until this summer. I restrung it and cranked up my Marshall amp and played 'Crazy Train' and 'Schools Out' for a few friends we had over for a birthday get together. I still play once in awhile but those old rock days are long gone!!!

I hear so many people say... It ain't a Gibson if it ain't made in America. I don't care...play what you want to play. I have a real Fender Strat and a real Martin acoustic. I also have a Fender Squire Strat and a Martin made in Mexico and they play very well and sound very nice as well. I still want another Gibson SG...but they are so over priced. Now that I sold my old Les Paul I am going to buy an SG...but it will be an Epi.
