Epiphone Les Paul Special TV Yellow LH

This guitar was made to Rock. Hard. And Rock it does. Oh, my goodness.

The build quality, the hardware, and the electronics are all great. The P-90 pick-ups have attitude and are great for both clean and dirty sounds. Yes, they are noisy, but that is what you get with P-90s. If you want to go really heavy on the gain, you may want to invest in a noise gate.

My one (very) small criticism is that the guitar did not arrived with the lightning bar wrap-around bridge that was specified in the description. Still, the traditional (and technically more vintage accurate) bridge it came with intonates surprisingly well. It will do untill my after market compensated bridge from Faber arrives.

Also, kudos to the Thomann support team for taking back the first guitar that arrived with a cracked neck (no thanks to the Swedish postal service) and promptly sending me a new one without any fuss.
