Epiphone Les Paul Junior Black 1998
Epiphone LP Jr, black, made in Korea 1998. Epiphone's Korean-made stuff is generally well regarded, they were making simple guitars to a good standard. This one was a basic model in it's day, so it got a bolt on neck, but it all works nicely. The single dog-ear P-90 delivers the goods: angular, bright and punchy, perfect for punk, grunge and garage stuff. If you're after a mean black guitar to play your stanky riffs on, here you go ma'am.
