Epi Les Paul ES Pro

What's everyone opinion on the new Epi Les Paul ES pro?

I fancy a Semi after playing a Squire Strat & love the look of this. Also fancy sticking a vibramate & bigsby on it.

Hadn't seen that model - looks interesting! I have become an Epi fan the last couple of years. Would that Bigsby mount on the semi-hollow body?

I have not seen those yet.

Vibramate have lots of different models a V7-335 is designed for 335 style guitars they also have one that lets you fit a B5

Interesting approach. wonder what the pickups etc are. Something about a straight up Les Paul shape with f-holes just seems odd.

there are many really good semi's, in a more traditional 335 style out there cheap! Washburn, Ibanez, Epi Dot.

here's something similar, may cost less at the end of the day. Hagstrom quality from all I've heard, is pretty solid.

or grab this one and put the Bigsby on it, and come out way in front.

nothing wrong with trying something new, though.

In my heart of hearts I want a wine red Sheraton II to replace one I sold, which I really, really regret. Problem is by the time you add a bigsby it's getting pricey.

Guess I could try eBay & reverb

I recently got a used SHeraton II, which I really love. My other electric is an Epi Wildkat, which covers the Bigsby territory nicely with P-90's to complement the Sheraton humbuckers.
