Trump orders wall to be built on Mexico border

[A Theist]

I don't care much for epiphones, myself. I had one that I gave to my granddaughter. I have a Telecaster and a Fender acoustic that I had since 1978. If I could ever see my way to buying another guitar it would be an Esquire. For an acoustic it would definitely have to be a Martin. I've been wanting one of those for years.

If you shop carefully, a good Epi can be had. I like their Sheraton semi-hollows, and every so often they get a Les Paul or SG right -- like the one I owned.

For acoustics, there's a Taylor 12-string in my future, to join my Yamaha 6er and two electrics.

Taylors can get pretty expensive. Nice guitars, though. How do the Epiphone Les Pauls rate, as far as sound and construction, with their Gibson cousins? I always liked the Gibson Les Paul, but then again, they can be quite expensive. A friend of mine's dad had a '58 model Gibson Les Paul in the oak finish. It had a great sound. I really liked it.
