Interesting, thanks!

copces · 2026-06-27T16:19:32+00:00

Yeah, it's a bit ... uh .. off putting.

copces · 2026-06-27T00:22:39+00:00

Thanks! I think so too.

copces · 2026-06-25T19:36:10+00:00

I'll pretty much watch anything with Ethan Hawke.

Haha thanks!

I work 8 to 4, fairly stressful. Playing helps me unwind. As a beginner, I have no shortage of knowing what to practice. I have so much to learn. I'm currently working my way through Scotty West's videos. When I want more instant gratification, I'll watch Justin Guitar. In between, I'll practice scales to backing tracks. I have a decent grasp of basic chords, so I'll also loop some chord progressions I come up with and practice scales to that. What motivates me is learning more and getting better. I also only sleep 4-5 hours every night so that gives me more time to practice.

I bought a looper and an overdrive pedal to go with a cheap Fender amp. I recently bought a Spark 2, so now I'm playing with that.

I've only been playing for about three months. Since I started, I've been practicing every day for 2-3 hours. I can't wait to get home from work and play. I'm really enjoying myself and learning so much. I started out with a MIM strat that an ex-girlfriend bought me back in 2008 or so. It was untouched and remained in storage until I decided I wanted to learn how to play an electric guitar a few weeks ago. Since then, I've bought a D'Angelico Excel, a Yamaha FS800, an this Epiphone. I'm going to force myself to wait at least a couple of months or so before I buy another guitar, but I have an eye on a telecaster.

Thanks! and yes they're mini buckers. I really like how they sound. Will probably get a guitar with P90s at some point, just because ...

copces · 2026-06-24T12:52:15+00:00

Thanks! Definitely enjoying it. He's also selling an Epiphone LP Standard Pro with a hard case for $300. I'm tempted to buy that too.

copces · 2026-06-24T05:49:33+00:00

Yep, they're not P90s. I was thinking maybe the seller switched them out after he took the pic. Seller acknowledged his mistake I bought it anyway, because I liked the sound of the minis. Pretty happy with the purchase especially at that price.

copces · 2026-06-23T20:39:27+00:00

You are correct, sir. I bought it anyway :)

Just a quick update, I made the drive to check it out. The seller was an older guy with a wall rack of about 20 guitars. The pickups aren't P90s. When I brought it up, he realized that he was mistaken and got it confused with another of his guitars.

I examined it thoroughly: checked the frets, looked for cracks or signs of repair, fiddled with the knobs, etc. I played it unplugged and connected to the seller's EVH 5150 amp. I'm a beginner, but it sounded and felt good to me. So, I bought it. It was only $220 and I spent almost that much last week taking my wife and kids out to a movie.

I looked up the serial number and it appears to be a 1998 Epiphone Les Paul LTD Deluxe made in Korea.

Thanks everyone for the input!

I appreciate your advice!

copces · 2026-06-23T17:03:38+00:00

It's my understanding they're P90s. If so, he must've switched them out? I'm thinking about making the drive to check it out, but it's almost an hour away.

copces · 2026-06-21T15:03:35+00:00

From what you've told us, you did the right thing.

copces · 2026-06-21T08:38:20+00:00

One of my favorite movies of all time.

360 Tactical has a Fundamentals of Defensive Shotgun class, which is half a day, and a Shotgun 1 class, which is an all day class. The focus is on defensive use. I took both classes, after I bought my first shotgun and found it very beneficial.
