I place my opinion to give notice of a new owner of this guitar, basically my impressions hot (if not enlighten you ...)
Everything has already been said, is a Korean Epiphone Casino
The pickups are Epiphone P90 to not so bad, but I hope to get more of this beautiful guitar with real Gibson P90 ... if anyone has done this mod, I'm interested ...
4 pots, very average in my opinion, I have another comparison between a Start Sheckter US (Semi luthier) which ELECTRONICS (pots, selector and pickups) have nothing to do ... But this is not the same price!
The pickups selector: spit a little, and asse is misplaced, but it's a matter of gambling or even taste.
The handle and the body are very well made, impressive for a Korean. Super light, very nice from the first grip.
UTILIZATION
The handle is nice, but mine is new, it frieze not bad, I think I can adjust it a little better. If this continues I will pass the box "Luthier". The strings supplied as standard (I do not know the brand) are pourrites pourrites home, at that price would be a correct set of rigor, and finally it's not too serious.
SOUNDS
His side is correct, I personally was not bothered by the half-side box with reverb ... sounds like I normally play on my Start and everything is fine, but again it very personal. The amp has to be for many (a Fender Super 112 tube that already loves Casino). As soon as you plug in the Casino, we are quickly trying to rebuild a p'tit beatles, hack it a bit and that makes pots now! The second temptation is to get a nice little blues (in the course!) With a slight saturation (no distortion!) Is the same it is! Now Gibson P90 should give more, to see ...
OVERALL OPINION
I have this guitar for 4 hours and I have plenty to tell, so it's clearly a guitar to be discovered, and I think that several months will be needed.
What I like most is its handle and body for their level of finish and the playability of the neck.
What I do not like too: the mechanisms by which carément hardware. The pickup selector (which crachouille at times), the lack of good string Enser and precise adjustment of the handle. I encountered the same problem by ordering a lower in our German friends, a Harley Benton, but the bass in question costs a hundred euros, so at that price, it is normal to lose an afternoon to change the strings and to enter a good setting for Caino but is a bit exaggerated.
I tried the Ibanez AF75 and others of the same series, a gretsch too ... it's hard to compare these guitars are very different, as well as for the sound, the amp is often much .
The quality / price is impressive especially in my case (300 Euros with Flycase Outlet) Well it leaves a little money to address minor defects.
I would do ... I think this election but difficult to say after 4 hours of use.

Finally, it is a good guitar, after having seriously set!
Have a half box is complétaire guitar in a park, I do not advise as the only guitar (too typical for this) but in addition to park or second guitar. The Epiphone P90 pickups are actually very correct. For now I keep them, they suit me.
