"Till this date my first ever electric guitar, this guitar was purchased back in 2020 and was a pretty good lead guitar within the price range though i had to pay extra 120$ or so because Bangladesh always demands good mount of money for guitars. Regardless was pretty proud to own a Epiphone since and always will be a fan of that brand and players like Slash,Jimmy Page,Eric Clapton pretty much influenced me to pick up a Les Paul, Also that wine red color tho pretty fabulous and was a limited edition guitar as far I know" - Warisul
