These guitars are made in Korea. This is the Les Paul standart, body and Mahogany neck stocky, rosewood fingerboard.
They have 22 frets, two humbuckers Epiphone standart. The bridge is the standart Gibson: Stop bar and a nut Tune-O-Matic. There is a volume and a micro tonality.
The neck is typical Gibson, broad and rounded profile. But on the other MODEL they can be more or less fine

UTILIZATION

For fans of the neck is a Gibson happiness Access in acute is not easy on the particular lines (like on a Les Paul).
It is a true Les Paul dcoupe no stomach, no change from forearm, and its weight is consquent, but it's a good guitar rocker!
The big sound is of course the field prdilection.

SOUNDS

This guitar is dedicates to rock, from the Blues and up to Hard.
I use a JCM 900, a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe and a Marshall SuperLead of 1969
The sound is warm and fat trs for micro serious and quite (too) for the micro incisive acute
I liked the sound of the mics handle but not the micro acute that I found too garish.
I changed the pickups for two Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates, and I think the team of quality pickups it competes with guitars more Chres.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this guitar for 5 years. I love his sleeve rve (and color, see my profile)
I have not tried many MODELS before buying because I liked it right away, I just have to wait a month to have the dosh. The report quality price seems reasonable trs. Exprience with this choice probably I would do (changing mics included), although the new Lag Roxane made in Korea, too, are excellent competitors in the same type of guitars and the same price range
