Epiphone Les Paul Modern Custom Review: The Almost Perfect Les Paul

This is a Gibson.com exclusive, meaning you're not going to find this one sitting in a store. It's only sold direct through Gibson's website, so a lot of people probably haven't even heard of it. Here is my Epiphone Les Paul Modern Custom review. Stainless frets, a 4A flame top, and T-Type PRO pickups for $799. Read about what is great and the couple catches.

Epiphone Finally Nailed It: Les Paul Futura Custom Review

I've bought a lot of Epiphones at this point. Some have been great, some have needed to go straight back in the box they came in. So when I ordered the new Les Paul Futura Custom in Firestorm Shift, I wasn't expecting much beyond "hopefully this one doesn't have issues." What showed up genuinely surprised me, and I think it might be the best out of the box experience I've had from Epiphone yet.
