Back in love...

...with my Epiphone Les Paul.  After neglecting it in its case for a while, I busted it out and decided to play.  (I have several other guitars, that is why I haven't played the Les Paul).  I plugged it into the amp, turned up the overdrive and it was magic to my ears.  The tone, the sustain - beautiful.  I can't figure out why I haven't used it as often lately.  It maybe because I've been used to playing my single coil pickup guitars (Epiphone Casino, Fender Telecaster).  But when I started to riff on Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love" then played (or tried to play) the opening to "Black Magic Woman" by Santana, those humbuckers really shined.
