Scarfe and heal joints are a good thing especially with a heavy guitar (if it falls over) as they reduce the risk of headstock breakages.

Don’t let your guitar fall over. NO guitar is unbreakable, and scarf and heel joints separate at an alarming rate. Adding another glue joint to a neck doesn’t make it any stronger. Btw, I’m a professional luthier with over 45 years in the field. I’ve seen and repaired more headstock breaks than I care to count, many of which were scarfs.

@@reddsshaker3477 I said reduce the risk not eliminate it! Of course a heel and scarfe joint is better than a single piece of wood in doing this but they are not infallible. If you believe otherwise you are an idiot.

@@reddsshaker3477greetings, your a guitar luthier, I hope all is good with you. What do you think of the new Epiphone 2020 line up , the Epiphone Les Paul's ? I'm thinking about getting one of the many Epiphone Les Paul they offer . The signature line up and the regular line up , what is your take on these and which one would you recommend. I'm looking for the best built Epiphone Les Paul maybe your top three if you can recommend one . Thanks 👍

You’re the only reviewer to open up the back cavity plates. What a mess under there with a lot of shavings and poorly cut body cavities.

Does that sticker in the treble pickup cavity say "LZ"? If so, could be for Lazarus. That's definitely a pick guard off guitar!

Looks nice but exactly like my old Vintage V100pgm Greeny Les Paul I had a few years back. Would have been good if they tried to get it to look like the actual Lazarus Les Paul with some red around the edges but I wouldn't be disappointed if I was given one, probably flip the neck pickup magnet though, such a great time when you find the sweet spot

Guitar center did the full setup and fret dressing and polish, with new strings, tried Ernie Ball Slinky 10/46, but I like the D'Addario NYXL 10/46 instead......Your top is Awesome! Just screw the pickup screw a little bit to snug it up

@@charlleibbrandt8480 I'm familiar with it. He's done the most new Epiphone reviews that I know of? Imho the balance and weight of a full thickness, non-weight relieved Les Paul should be at the top of the list of deciding factors in whether it's a keeper. You can change out electronics. But the overall balance and "feel" of a guitar that weighs much over 9lbs. is gonna be hit or miss regardless of the name on the headstock. I prefer them between 8-9lbs.

@@donthewatcher That's nice and light. The Lazarus model should average a bit less I figure, because the neck construction being one piece? The great debate over tonewoods, sustain or resonance of a guitar will only boost sales of these. If they build it in Tennessee and charge $2700 for it, will that make it sound any better?NOT! Great buy even at the new prices!

I typically don't like the Epiphone tops, the flame tips usually have no "movement" and look more like a picture of a flame top
