I have the option of buying either a mid '80s or mid '90s Epiphone LP Standard; they're the same price. Are there any major differences between the two, as far as build quality, pickups, neck shape, etc.?

Thanks.

In a very general observation I'd say Epiphone's made in Korea guitars improved over the years. Assuming the country of origin between the two guitars are the same, and you're comparing two MIK Epiphone guitars, I'd lean toward the 90's.
