You don't want to pay more than they're worth - meaning the acoustics. Then again, you should have a pretty good idea of the value, yes?

Having seen/heard your other guitars, the Epiphone Les Paul should be a step up from most of 'em. They're absolutely acceptable guitars, perfectly playable. They can be a little rough around the edges, maybe needing some frets shaped and trimmed.

James Hetfield is in this episode of American Dad.

Yeah, I assume I have a pretty good idea of value.

I figure the epiphone will be just fine. I am going to take the strings off it and make sure the neck is true and maybe even sand down the frets to even if I have to, thats not too much work really. And I was going to put a different bridge on it, one that's adjustable, cause the one that it has is cast and you can not individually adjust the strings. And I do have the same style bridge here that does have the individual string adjustment. That way I can set the intonation better. And once I do that and get the action set right it will be a fine guitar with a slightly different tone than my others.

Yeah, it's an Epiphone. It'll be playable and very much so. It'll have an acceptable tone.

I dunno if I'd change the bridge UNLESS there's a reason to. It's built for the bridge it has. But, if it needs it, it needs it. I'd try it first without doing so - but it's 'snot my guitar! I have probably got a dozen Epiphone guitars in my collection. Somewhere in there... Dunno, really...

Hmm... I actually have a partial list of guitars for insurance purposes, but that list is old. Now I just have them insured for a set value and no longer enumerate them all for the actuarial tables. It's just easier. The insurance company doesn't care, 'cause I pay insurance for the insured value.

I take my first dose of Chantix tomorrow. I'm gonna make the 1st of July my quit day - with the 5th of July being my backup date.

The adjustable bridge I was talking about replacing the current one with is made and marketed as an upgrade specifically for les paul juniors, I got it for the kit guitar that I have yet to assemble.

I have the neck ready to go and I have painted the body white, I just have not yet decided for sure what design I am going to draw on it. I have some black sharpies I plan to draw some of my drawings on it with, and I have cut out sheets of paper and made some practice drawings, but nobody but me liked what I drew, they said it looked too mexican, whatever that means, so I didn't go ahead with it and have not come up with anything else yet.
