It was GREAT!
Santa (And Hanukkah Harry) has given many of my students new and wonderful instruments.
Several new guitars, keyboards, Electric Pianos, and a DRUM SET, for a little boy I have been teaching since he was 3.
Another boy got an Epiphone Les Paul Special Electric Guitar, which he richly deserved due to his intense practicing.
The only difference between an Epiphone Les Paul and a Gibson Les Paul, is that the Gibson is made by HAND in the USA. (That’s what I play!)
“The only difference between an Epiphone Les Paul and a Gibson Les Paul, is that the Gibson is made by HAND in the USA. (That’s what I play!)”
I could be wrong on this, but I think Gibsons also get better electronics than Epiphones in most cases. I do know for a fact that this is true for Fender, vis-a-vis Mexican made and American made instruments.
To this day, the most expensive electric guitar I’ve ever played was a Les Paul Standard. It was tagged for $3000 and for some reason Guitar Center had it sitting where it could be easily reached. :) It was nice, but IMO it wasn’t an extra $1600 of nice over my PRS.
That's a new one to me!:)
