After learning and practicing for months, I finally figured out which direction I wanted to go and I got myself a big boy guitar

Beauty! I have the envy. I am working up the nerve, well more accurately trying to talk myself into spending the money on this beautiful bastard.
Play hard and loud!

Ha! I need more people like you in my life. My wife is in favor too, even though I just ordered this American Strat.
I have not bought a new guitar in 17 years, and I have three I want to add to my collection, then I will probably wait another 17 years. The Strat I just bought, that Les Paul, and a Taylor 214ce Acoustic.

Nicely done, this axe will do you well for years to come. It may seem heavy at first, but that'll only make tougher and you'll train your back to playing with a strap. HNGD!

I have the exact same one/color. When I went away to college, I continued playing my Epi LP Special II for a few more months until convincing my parents to upgrade me for Christmas (they had got me the Special II, my first guitar, for Christmas about 7 years earlier).
I was a forum rat on the epiphone.com boards and a guy was selling this guitar. My parents had just moved across country and lived just miles away from the guy. They met him at his workplace on the coast, working with seals. Got to meet some seals too. They mailed it across country to me in college.
It was my main guitar through my main years of playing in bands, touring a little. I don't play it much now but I would never get rid of it. It's really a beautiful guitar. Congrats!
edit: I got this guitar in 2002 FYI. Whoa, 15 years.

As a man who finds that most Les Paul's don't interest him, let me just say...
...My GOD is that beautiful.

Love that blue colour, great looking axe mate
Very nice. I made the same decision after 25 years of playing my 'beginner' guitar. Went with the same model in the cherry burst, Enjoy!
Got the same in black...
