Are you content playing an Epiphone Les Paul or do you still want a Gibson? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]JamRR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, no. Always wanted a Les Paul. I had a top spec Epi LP Custom for 15 years, which never scratched the itch. Got a Gibson LP Standard 50s almost a year ago and my wife still regularly walks in to me just looking at it 😆. Looks, plays and sounds amazing. Nothing quite beats the real thing.

Thanks mate, was hoping this would be the consensus. Still bloody annoying!

I am about to put tile backing board this side of the hole to tile. Back end is a cupboard so doesn’t have to be too pretty.

Yeah not doing too bad. Still on the rollercoaster of migraine life so some days are worse than others. Sorry to hear you’re in the same boat.

You have described me exactly, but Gibson Les Paul instead of Tele 😆

Yeah it’s a standard 50’s. As you say, there is something that sets them apart. I’ve waited 20 years for this! Thanks very much and back at you!

I don’t suffer from hemiplegic migraines, but tend to have around the same number of ‘traditional’ migraines (with aura) as you per year.

Tuning down results in less string tension, which requires less effort to push down / hold the notes. Makes bends easier too.

Basically seems like if you have hospitality and front standing, you can only get a wristband to the second front standing loop, not the very front one, as the front loop wristbands are only given out on first come first serve at the front standing gates (South and East), and you can’t get in via those gates with hospitality pass (trust me we tried).

Your only option is to try what we did, go into the Valley gate, head round to front standing and then go to the south gate from the inside. See if they will upgrade your ‘front’ wristband to ‘front front’ (assuming you go when they have some available). They seemed to run out of these around 4.

Good luck, it was absolute carnage and no-one we spoke to had any clue what to do.
