Electric Guitar Review

Ok, I may not be a huge Aerosmith fan (although I’m the first to admit that Steven Tyler is pretty damned entertaining, and I certainly don’t have anything against the band) but this Joe Perry Signature “Boneyard” Les Paul from Epiphone is drop-dead gorgeous.

Yeah, you may have noticed that there is a much more expensive “Gibson” version of the Joe Perry Signature, and I’m sure it’s even better looking than the Epiphone, but often times I prefer to highlight the more affordable models – you know, for us mere mortals. I know I don’t have the money for a Gibson Signature model… do you?

Anyways, it’s no surprise that Joe Perry has a Les Paul named after him – heck, Aerosmith’s been pounding out radio hits since I was crawling around on all fours, and Perry himself is a Rock & Roll Hall of Famer… Signature guitars just come with the territory.

While a Les Paul may be a Les Paul may be a Les Paul, there are three things that really set this guitar apart: the uniquely beautiful “Aged Tiger” finish, a cool Boneyard Logo on the headstock, and of course a pair of authentic Gibson Burstbucker pickups (that’s right, none of those cheaper Designed by Duncan offerings.)

The Epiphone Joe Perry Boneyard Les Paul Features–

• Solid Mahogany Body
• Flame Maple Top
• Mahogany Neck
• 24.75-inch Scale length
• Rosewood Fretboard With 22 Frets
• Dual Gibson Burstbucker Pickups
• Two Each Tone & Volume Controls
• 3-Way Pickup Switching
• Cream Bound Fingerboard & Body
• Stopbar Tailpiece

Considering that the “Gibson” version of the Joe Perry Boneyard goes for over four-grand, well, this Epiphone model just looks like a steal.
