Epiphone Les Paul Modern FPB

Ok, I've been playing it for 10 months and overall, I'm pretty happy with this guitar.

My biggest concern was the wood drying and I still cannot be sure how the it will behave in the future, but the last winter was pretty cold, the air was pretty dry and so far, so good.

I had been looking for a Les Paul\Single Cut guitar for a while: LTDs, Guibson Studios, Japanese replicas - nothing clicked with me really. This one just fit my criteria: it's not really light like LTDs or Stuidos, but it's also not Custom heavy - it is something in the middle. It provides a variety of sounds (although coil-splits sound a bit dinlky, it's fine in a gig situation and you can also combine different pickups in different modes). The most annoying thing so far is caps getting of the nobs when you trying to activate coil-split.

Overall the quality is pretty good and I personally prefer this one over Studios

The guitar is beautiful and sounds amazing, but... As soon as I received the guitar I noticed a small flaw in the neck, but nothing for a return to the store. At first I thought there was a small flaw in the finish on the neck, underneath the varnish, but as time went on, I saw that it was a crack in the neck. The store informed me that I should have contacted them within 30 days, and that nothing else could be done. No reviews have been made. Apparently the 3 year warranty ends in 30 days. My recommendation is that you check everything and return it to the store at the slightest sign of defect, no matter how small. This can prevent you from wasting money and time like I did.
