I bought a "real" Les Paul

I went through a ton of guitars before getting the PRO-III

Said very honestly, the PRO-III is one of the extreme few Les Paul guitars I actually like since almost none of them come with satin urethane neck finishing.

While I was at Guitar Center trying out guitars, I went through many models before deciding to get the PRO-III. Something like 10 to 12 guitars, both new and used. I was probably in that store for at least 2 hours, and thankfully the sales staff wasn't annoyed by that (especially since I spent money that day).

It's very atypical of me to spend over $300 on a guitar, but this time I had to because Epiphone was the only company to offer something that met every requirement I had.

Will I be keeping it?

Unknown at this point. She seems to be working okay at the moment, but sometimes Les Paul guitars can get "moody". If it gets too moody, then I'll have to part with it.

So far, she seems to be playing and sounding right. But time will tell whether or not it stays.
