Guitars 6

The pickups sound pretty good, and they look fantastic covered up. The tuners and stock nut aren't fantastic, I've already replaced the nut. The volume and tone knobs are pretty crap. As you turn it, pretty much nothing happens until it's at zero. Thinking of either upgrading those or replacing the guitar. Anyway, the neck feels pretty good. Kinda chunky for me, but this was my first guitar. I would say if you're thinking of purchasing, look on Reverb for an Epiphone Les Paul Standard. Used, it's about the same price as the Epi 100 new.
This was around $400 used. No longer available pretty much anywhere. But this is such a cool guitar. The neck, first of all, feels fantastic It's a modern C, and it's got a nice finish. Both pickups sound great. Honestly, I prefer the bridge, but the P90 sounds so cool paired with some overdrive. The knobs are really good, much better than the Epiphone I had before this. All the electronics feel high quality. The tuners and nut are really good. The guitar is only ever slightly out of tune when I check it. But I wouldn't recommend putting 10s on it, at least not without a setup. I tried and it threw the treble strings way out of tune.

Amplifiers 3

This amp was $99. It's an excellent bedroom amp, and although I am looking into an upgrade, I'm gonna keep this one. It sounds excellent for the price, and it has several different settings for Overdrive, Reverb, Crunch, Clean Warm and Clean Bright, Modulation, Delay, a tuner, and a headphone jack.

Effects Pedals 4

I got this used for around $70. Previously, I mentioned that I had some issues. But I tried it again after messing with the EQs on the amp and the pedal, and it sounds great with my Tele. Strangely, I don't like it as much on the LP.
This is the best wah pedal you could buy. It sounds so good, and there's just nothing better for classic wah sound. It's just excellent. The only downfall is the squeaking. It'll squeak relentlessly, but WD40 usually helps.
This pedal is awesome. I use it basically as an overdrive, with the knob at 10. It almost sounds like a fuzz if my amp gain is up. It's an awesome pedal man. Get it used, it's like $30.
Love it. Absolutely love it. To be honest, I'm not the biggest fan of super verby tones, so I keep it on the spring switch and the knob at about 3 or 4. Pick it up on Reverb used, it's around $70-$100.

Strings 3

Pretty good strings. I put them on my Epi 100, and it sounded so much better. It's possible that the previous owner hadn't changed them in a very long time.
Put this on my Telecaster, and they feel great. Absolutely excellent strings. Might just be my imagination, but I think it affected the tone too. Definitely a good option.

Music Accessories 1

I have these in a .73 size. They are the best picks ever. The knurling makes sure you've got... well, max grip on the pick, and the medium plectrum feels amazing.
