General Comments
The Epiphone signature guitar of Aerosmith's Joe Perry gives you a breath-taking instrument with genuine USA-made burstbuckers by Gibson.
The mahogany body with the nicely shaped neck. together with the burstbuckers 2 and 3, provide a classical Les Paul sound with brightness, warmth and resonance.
The mahagony/flame maple body with the striped tiger design and the boneyard logo, the black satin on the back, the Kluson type machine-heads and a toggle switch in orange make this guitar an eye-catcher.
Considering the quality, the sound and the craftmanship, it seems there is nothing more to wish for. Compared to my limited edition of the Les Paul Custom "Midnight" with EMG pick-ups this guitar provides more vintage feeling, but both guitars really rock - in different ways.
