    Solid all-rounder guitar

    Epiphone Les Paul StandardPublished on 02/23/21 at 09:08
    Features — 8
    Bought in 2012 from a shop, brand new. The pickups are supposedly Gibson designed humbuckers but they sound pretty much like stock Epiphone pickups to me. The body and neck are Mahogany, with the neck set into the body. The fretboard is Rosewood with trapezoid inlays. There is some nice binding on the body and neck. My model had a Pelham Blue finish which looked really nice. Grover tuners came as stock on this model too. No coil-tapping, but it can't be expected at this price point. Overall some standard features.

My model had a Pelham Blue finish which looked really nice. Grover tuners came as stock on this model too. No coil-tapping, but it can't be expected at this price point. Overall some standard features.

    Sound — 7
    Suited my blues and classic rock style well, the sound could go from fat and full, to clean and smooth. Although the pickups did not handle crisp tones well, and sounded muddy at times. This is a standard plight with cheaper Epiphone humbuckers. Played it through a Marshall combo. I didn't use any effects with it and just cranked up the gain a little when playing AC/DC, Hendrix, etc. It's not a noisy guitar. You can get a wide variety of sounds, although I wouldn't play Metal or anything too heavy, go for a Jackson or ESP in that case. It's perfect for that classic rock or blues sound.

    Action, Fit & Finish — 8
    The guitar was well set up by the shop. I did need to adjust the truss rod several times over the years, but nothing dramatic. Wiring and finish were all fine, good quality there and no complaints. Same with the frets, nothing to flag. All in all a solid instrument that looks and feels more expensive that it is. There were no flaws upon purchase. The pickups needed a little raising that's all. I was very impressed by the out of the box nature of its playability. Well done Epiphone! This is how it should be.

    Reliability & Durability — 8
    I would use this as a main live guitar, or rehearsals and home practice. Although there are major differences with Gibson pickups, so you might want to upgrade those. Durability is fine. It's dependable and looks quite cool. I had fun using it and it never let me down. It lasted me around 3-4 years before I eventually sold it for an SG which suited my playing style better. It's a great feeling and sounding guitar, I would easily recommend it to anyone looking for an alternative to Gibson or Fender.

    Overall Impression — 8
    The Epiphone Les Paul Standard is a solid all-rounder guitar, versatile enough to tackle pretty much any style of music. The neck is slimmer than a Gibson Les Paul and the body is lighter too. It is giggable, although the pickups (Alnico Classic Pro) can be quite muddy when trying to achieve a clean tone. For most rock or blues styles, though, this is fine. The finish is great for this price point and you could recommend the instrument for gigging, recording and home practice. Some versions have Grover tuners which is a great plus. Noel Gallagher famously used the 90s model of this guitar at early gigs and demos.

    sound pickups and pots condo block is not terrible, but the time has come to make a small change with gibson knobs 59, bubble bee capacitors and DiMarzio paf 36 th anniversary, I think not take risk to say it 'll waltz in the cottages!
    brief the violin is of very good quality and 16 years of age sustain very good unplugged

    SOUNDS

    these people it my Swiss Army knife in all styles accompanied by multi, effects caught up with her super versatile microphones, vintage daneletro on my nifty fifty, and goes all over my Marshall, it also had a fender stage185 sounded good and clean, well crystalline saturated the marshall heavy fat has its wish
    After mod as mentioned I will complete article

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use these since November 96 my first electric guitar and for anything I divide them, she stayed in the closet a few years, for the favors of the other guitars and these I discovered it was Point the violin was good because I play a lot and believe me unplug it has nothing to envy to the model of American big brother standard model

    tested and approved by several scratch! and myself once holder of the gibson epiphone the hawk my surpassed them on all points except the pickups and electronics

    small defect, but present in all the shovels that I have had in my possession: a hard nut to cut, so a holding agreement not always terrible ... Again, no need to change the original mechanical KLUSON are very good: a shot of lime in the luthier, a little pencil in the grooves fat recut the nut, and roll!

    SOUNDS

    This guitar can do everything with his very, very far, thanks to the violin, and "despite" the pickups Epiphone ... These were the black point of the guitar drafts, microphone sometimes ...
    Nevertheless saw the sound already obtained from jazz to metal through blues and rock stuff, it would have been perfect with a pair of microphones gibby ... And it was well worth ii

    OVERALL OPINION

    Used as guitar No. 1 from 1999 to 2008

    Actually I regret a little, and I would not back against a model of the same series, which is well above the Epiphone Les Paul standard.

    If you come across one, to the coast, do not miss!

    Side ergonomics is not a Les Paul Strat has the defects of his qualities ...
    The original sound is not bad, the microphone is even more serious good treble a bit garish in contrast. They lack a little precision but do the job.
    With proper wiring it gains enormously in character for a very reasonable sum. I think it's really to make the upgrade, after determining the type of sound to which you want to go (vintage or modern).
    The change in micro helped me refine the grain and make a little more precision and finesse.

    SOUNDS

    Perfect for me, you get sounds from Blues bodied (Albert King), at the old Hard (AC / DC) via the Rock and Pop couillue trend ... (ZZ-Top, Oasis ...)
    I currently play in a Tech21 Blonde, between the two with a Proco Rat (sometimes) or a Maxon OD808 (often).
    Turning down the volume are also obtained beautiful clean tones that are used to address registers coolest.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 12 years, and whether for sentimental reasons, it is a gift, or I do not see any objective model could replace it. Except maybe a Gibson Reissue, but one is more in the same rates, besides considering my level of play that would be wasted ...

    Please note that notice, like that of Obiwan76, for older models made in Korea, it seems that the current Chinese model quality is not really comparable.

    Epiphone Les Paul Standard Quilted Top

    Epiphone Les Paul StandardPublished on 12/14/01 at 15:00
    I love my Epiphone Les Paul Standard Quilted Top, its looks will shred you before the sound will!I got the Epi because it would fit in my small budget and still give me that phat, deep sound i wanted. Bought it at Mars Music for $400.

    I absolutely love my epi. No guitar is perfect, but this one isn't that far behind. The finish I chose was a dark red quilt, almost blood red in colour. The body is solidas a brick (a good 10+pounder) and the sound is very good for "Gibson-Designed" humbuckers. The fact that it is a Limited Edition also urged me to get this guitar.

    Above I did mention the pickups were good, but i think that i can do better with some custom pickups I'll get in the near future. Im considering a set of open coil PRS specials or maybe some Emg's. Aside from tune ups, every small probelm I have had has been under warrantee. When I first purchase the guitar I had a bad pot for the 3 way switch, so i had it replaced with a Gibson one from Mars; no charge. Along with the new pot the guy at Mars also fixed the setup, lowered the action by a hair, and waxed the guitar. More recently, (i have had it for about 6 months) I had a spur on the bridge fixed; it was also free at Mars. From my experience there, I'd recommend Mars to any musician for their excellent service and quality.

    I think the above statement said alot about this, but anyway the overall quality was good. You get what you pay for, so I am not surprised by a few glitches. As far as construction goes, the quilted top looks very deep and not at all like a spary on paint. The body and neck have a cream binding that looks great againt the dark red finish. All the hardware is black from tuners to stopbar and the pickups are open coiled. The neck it strait as you could ask for and the trapezoid inlays are perfect. A True Rock Guitar!!!

    The rating for this quitar is not really fair the way i see it. For what you pay, you get the an extreme quality axe. But when problems come, don't be surprised. I know if i didn't have a place like Mars to get it fixed, the review would not be as good. All in all, if i had the money, i would be reviewing a Gibson right now, but Epiphone is far from sub standard. If this guitar is in you're price range check it out!

As regards the forms of the Les Paul, we love it or dtest ... I love and I crack honntement every day when I see it. Weight (3.5 kg and yes I pes is not unbearable contrary to what they say, on the knees and shoulders as the ones in spite of my build of Mickey, on the contrary that the amliore Sustain (more about her older sister in Gibson PSE 5 kg).

    SOUNDS

    As for the microphones, or it can be the most critical of this guitar (but remember the report qualitprix). Certainly the microphone is loud but the acute micro ratrape the grave a little warmer and prcis (that is relative anyway). I intend to change them, and I think that is what is best to do.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Whatever your style of music, this guitar is happening everywhere. Ideal for beginners on a budget moyen.En changing the pickups I'm sure this skyscraper is one of the best quality the market price and it can even compete with the first Gibson Les Paul (I speak in terms range). Trs favorable opinion on it.

    No problem for Access in specially acute.
    Guitar a bit heavy, but when it is most like me is no problem. ;)

    SOUNDS

    This is where is gets complicated. In fact me who loves the big distos rather acute edge and well and playing in a band, I was REALLY a possible problem, a point that I almost Spar g guitar . The microphones are of poor quality, so that ds the sound is too loud with a feedback block distortion! As against the clear sound, I have nothing wrong. G finally found the solution by simply changing microphones, microphones g found good opportunities cheap and then it all came together.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Good qualitprix
    And then I found the guitar really beautiful, I love its shape.

As for the body, the cross-Alder Mahogany is regrettable but cepandant advantage: the weight. I use this guitar also often for my repeated 'knowing that it is less tiring. Regarding the sound: The original pickups are true stews. Please note however, I replaced them with Seymour Duncan (JB SH4 and SH1 bridge at 59 'in sleeve), and is day and night: the guitar is thereby metamorphosis. Before, I let my Gibson systematically the important tasks (concerts, recording DMOS), now both use guitars have scabies.

    SOUNDS

    If you want a guitar that sound without going into debt over 20 years, take the Les Paul and change the pickups: With Seymour, the sound is just standard! J'apprcie also particulirment this combination (or only one or a Seymour Alnico II Jazz neck if you want a more sweet). This guitar is made for the usual style of Les Paul: rock-blues-jazz. And if you mount a game consquent (in my case 10-52), you also keep records funky without problem. I use a Marshall JMP 1980 and the sound is ... zepelinien (or ac / dcien, or ...).

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use this guitar for 7 years and I'm not going to get tired! She is beautiful, the finishes are excellent, and with the investment in good microphones, the sound is that of a Les Paul. As far as I'm concerned, I never like Epiphone Consider the "copy": This is the same family that Gibson, and I recalled that the Gibson Company also founded much of its fame of "great guitar rock'n'roll" on its Asian production. I also recalled that Mister Les Paul Himself has a long history in common with Epiphone and he sometimes plays itself on Epiphone Les Paul!
    If you beginners but want a skyscraper that lasts, this is what you need. If you are a musician confirm that you want a guitar with an excellent qualitprix, do not hesitate, the Epi Les Paul Standard is an instrument of choice!

    Easy Access in a sharp contrast the reputable but it is far from being nirvana in any way this guitar, it is chosen for the Personal of the Paul not the fast which we runs through the handle.

    I find it so heavy that her older sister gibson but hey, you feel a weight on the shoulder (take a jumper off preferences, I have a big thing in leather)

    I have long wondered what use the Tone knobs for ... but hey we will not be reluctant

    Warning: Be careful with the straps locks, Dunlop and Shaller screws have finer than those on the original lp, and the trend is towards a bar, Do not hesitate to pour a pot of glue wood and ca is (mine was almost high enough to hush because of the screw has barr). Also between the jack tends to tighten the dvisser think quite often

    but other than that, this instrument is a fantastic view Aesthetics (although it is a matter of taste) is a beautiful guitar trs

    SOUNDS

    Well, when this achte scratches, you pay more Bestio the microphones that are on it ...
    is not catastrophic but it is not so far even when the drama
    In the light can be trs ca blues, warm sound, not too aggressive if you stay on the rhythm position
    ds, but we force on the distal (for hard rock or metal), ... Sound is a mess with such sharp razor blade (hyper screaming) rhythms dgueulasses ... trebble about the position, I use it almost ever ... it's even worse than the rhythm position))))

    I just got the DiMarzio I install it tomorrow I will say the new

    added 05/09/04

    then change microphones, post and view a little late;)

    It sounds monstrous, rhythmic own, less shrill screaming, and finally all the default left the guitar in favor of a good sound, there's that for palm mute There's a diffrence or less obvious

    OVERALL OPINION

    Trs beautiful object, very practical, ergonomically friendly trs
    but to change the pickups ...

    I tried a Squier, a low-end ibanez, fender mex one and I confess I prfre even when the LP form.

    I think that by changing the pickups is a good guitar and trs in this report is exellent quality price (if you have in mind the change of microphones)

    Hop! A tour on the site of one or more Epiphone prcis ....( too lazy) If not, it's made in China I think. Mcaniques good, the agreement is good, well finished (I have in black and she is superb), the buttons do not crachotent after a year of intensive use (home + RPTES) I am satisfied.

    UTILIZATION

    Unlike what I had read before buying it, I had no trouble to adapt to the handle off. On the contrary, I have trouble now plutt play when the strings are closer. CHAC is particularly acute for is to find the right position, but you get there (the more I got used to ...)

    To search for your sound, three possible position: neck pickup / bridge or two (you can make rpartition with buttons)

    SOUNDS

    I play in a group of post-hardcore (c a koi??) But I also play blues, blues / rock the house and is Submitted in these records. I mean it supports large distos trs well (even with the original pickups) and a lead position in a clear round in the trs on the two positions. Besides with a lightweight crunch position and rhythm, it sounds and is vintage trs mconnaissable! (As Jimi was going to say on some but I would be slapped on it ...) J'apprcie prcis much sound in the bass (with a fairly lev pulling all of the same), but ad depends also on the amp. It's the only guitar that I played (I have no jou a lot) that has held much of note (and not sustain, it is in France, shit!)

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a year and I am always satisfied even if I want to try other guitars Obviously. For the price (about 450 fdp COMRA) Thomann, I had the sound I wanted. If I were the flying, I think the other thing I would try IMMEDIATE but I Rasht an APRS is a standard (nan srieux?).

    22 frets, 2 humbucker, 2 knobs to adjust the volume and 2 tone (one for mic).
    Mine has a superb finish Cherry Sunburst, but the color is more accurate because it is an opportunity that should approximate the decade.
    The mechanical oil bath are well enough tuning.

    UTILIZATION

    I love this race, I find it quite late (it must be said that I went directly from a classical guitar with it), and convenient for the bars. Access to acute is relatively easy, but we're a little embarrassed by the shape of the guitar.

    Good ergonomics, the only thing we could blame it on weight.

    Good ergonomics, the only thing we could blame it on weight.
    The guitar is quite heavy, so I advise to put the price in a good strap (not nylon webbing € 8). I myself a leather strap that I paid more than € 40, even after several hours of rehearsal, I feel nothing.
    The purchase of Straplok (= system of fixing the strap on the guitar pretty convenient to use and very fast, resistant to 500 kg) shortly be wise to avoid any setback. The system is quite expensive (22 €) but relativemnt discreet.

    SOUNDS

    I am very happy with the sound.
    I play myself mostly rock / grunge / hard rock, and the sound is perfect. This course can be adapted to any type of music or so.
    On the micro j'obtient acute enough grunge sound, terrible distortion for solos with the use of a good old Boss DS1 home. How big sound!
    The micro grave gives me the perfect sound for a clean as in the album "Unplugged" by Nirvana.

    I use it on an old Trace Elliot amp TVT9 (80W lamp with preamp).

    This guitar gives a fairly serious-based, unlike the Fender Stratocaster that sound more metallic.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I bought this guitar 4 years ago and since I do not spend more.
    I paid only € 300, used nikel super, no complaints.
    I tried the guitar for more than two weeks, but for that price, it was really the best.
    I advise guitarists who want a guitar to progress.

    Does it manufactured in the country have said that others in celebrating this party does well though described by some Peronist Paravant.
    so it's not a gibson so the characteristics of a guitar, it s just not care all that it sounds no! but hey since it must be bofo compartment I put another ad 7

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is great but it's not a birch or a tite board must still not have the hands of 2.5cm.

    Access in the acute bah ... In other words, the last fret is anecdotal in a game but hey .. The Paulien Finally we descend too far if it's a tit dog chouilla

    the ergonomics bah it's heavy (it is a les paul) but after that bah I sy cheeks standing with the guitar at the knees so it can go. Personal likes j

    me after I describe her bah

    SOUNDS

    I am playing punk, rock, hard, metal, finally all that is distorted!

    I play with a marshall mg100dfx and it sounds better that my expectations, I have a Zakk Wylde wah wah and a tube factor.

    the sound is big fat even if they say that the microphones are epi pouraves I find them quite apart that it lacks body and medium. but they would not put emg active at this price. Finally must love the sound, so must try several epiphone for I have tried in mag was crap and they wish taient then one day I tried one day to another to see it and it sounded VLAM 10x better than others. of the sudden I bought (cheap because it had a pete has a sudden descent of truck, the paint has a place no longer exists)

    Added: done with in a few months I notice a complete change of the sound becomes a force that is rotten sy no personality used to it and it has more of a problem bound to agree

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had the August and frankly it is terrible for the price, finally my price lol (300 euros ...) other models of taient esp that a cot sdonn tro weird for me to love the sound finally c That is all.
    The value for money I would say that if you pay the scraper 450 is average, below it is good.
    I do not know if I would do this choice, I think that I wait to pay me a Zakk Wylde but hey it's not the same price

    Added: francehment wait and pay you a lag roxane is 100x better now, because it sounds, is comfortable and there are not many people who!
