im thinking of buying my friend guitar off of him. its a Epiphone LP standard http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Epiphone/Les-Paul-Standard.aspx

barely used, he got it on sale for 400 and i can get it for less then that. im just starting guitar and im pretty damn sure im sticking with it so i wanna get something i can learn better on then my shitty old first act acoustic.

what do you guys think? worth the money? is this a good guitar to begin with?

Yeah its a nice guitar to begin with, some people hate on epiphones, and I hate on any epi except standards on up, but for the money they are nice electrics, especially if its the epiphone les paul standard, they are good solid guitars that will last until you decide to move up to some pro equipment.

ok thanks, im pretty new to guitar so i dont know whats the shit and what IS shit. ha

I have no big experience with Ephiphones/Les Pauls, but I can say the are pretty solid even when it comes down to low-end stuff.
The standard is pretty much an all-around guitar, so unless you really want to focus on a certain genre of music, they are good.

Also if you can get it for less than $400, considering it's in good condition, it could turn out to be a very good quality/price.

im about to put 300 down on it. apparently its a $850 guitar. so im fucking happy now i just gotta get good hahaha

I'm still waitin for his mom to let him sell it. damnit i cant waittttt

aw man a nice one to start out with.
bought my 1st guitar via eebay was a epi 310 sg
then i got pretty good and upgraded to a ltd kirk hammet

cool man, i cant wait to get it, im dying as i wait lol
