Accordingly, are Epiphone Les Pauls as good as Gibson?
While the Epiphone Les Paul does sound great, it just doesn’t sound like the Gibson Les Paul. There are obvious reasons for this, like the construction of the body, the materials used to create the body of the guitar, the pickups installed, and a few other points that make Epiphone a cheaper company than Gibson.
Moreover, are Epiphone Les Pauls bolt on necks? The neck is indeed a bolt on, not a glued in-set.
Beside above, can you replace a set neck on a guitar?
How to Replace a Guitar Neck. Guitars can have either set or bolt-on necks. Set necks are not easily replaced by even skilled guitarists and are best left to the expertise of luthiers. Bolt-on necks are rather easier to replace.
To remove this neck, I need to soak and steam the glue out and that means getting access to the internals of the neck joint. I do this by drilling small ‘access’ holes. These are drilled in the fret slots. When it’s all done, I’ll fill the holes with rosewood plugs and re-cut the slots.
The oval c-shape guitar neck is a comfortable shape for all playing styles unless you have large hands. In fact, the c-shape is the most common type of guitar neck shape. It’s nearly flat and highly comfortable to play. Modern guitars like Fender Stratocasters have a flat oval c-shape.
