Today at a music store I played an Epi Les Paul Studio through a Roland 20X and, wow, it sounded like the $1000 Gibson through the $300 Roland that I played weeks earlier.
Such a great warm, classic rock sound, especially with a bit of chorus thrown in.
Wish I could afford one, but it's nice to know that, if a dinky Studio on a fairly cheap amp sounded that great, one of the Standards must be God Damned amazing.
