I see your point, but from the other perspective.
On other guitars, there is so much space that is really not neccesary, a solo doesn't need to be right at the top of a fretboard IMO.
Good luck with your search, I haven't played too many epiphones, but I got lucky with mine. Maybe the maple neck really brings it alive

I thought it might've been that one, I did consider that one when I was in the market for a Les Paul, but the maple fretboard didn't agree with me. I also thought two signature guitars would be stepping over a line of sorts (the other sig guitar being a Washburn Dime).

Welcome from me as well Stu.

I've also shifted towards playing blues, although with the emphasis on rock/blues really.

If you're looking for a rock/blues tone I can recommend Emerald pups. I put a set into my LP and haven't looked back since. They can be hot but do clean up very nicely.

Thanks for the recommendation Machinehead.

I'm currently in a dilemna over whether to break my BKPs virginity, or to get an acoustic that ive been pawning over for a bit.

Decisions decisions!

Speaking as a complete w**ker, I took offence at your opening comment.
