Best value:
Excellent
Les Paul copy of a French brand that manufactures in Korea.
Mahogany + maple shape close to an LP from the head and horn, everything else (electronics, hardware, frets ...) is like the real Les Paul.
It's a shame that I find ugly head, and this horn too sharp.
5 / 10 because of it.
UTILIZATION
The handle is nice, a bit like my Epiphone Les Paul Standard, thinner than my Gibson Les Paul Studio (it's a real log!).
It is heavy, as Epiphone and Gibson.
The agreement holds very well
Perfect, compared to a real LP.
SOUNDS
I speak here of the crunch, I use it (and fuzz, but good).
The microphone is very close to the acute Gibson 498T, which are the traditional Gibson humbuckers mounted on quite a LP and SG.
Sounds so modern, midrange tones and tight grain. It does not lack for much treble, the guitar has a lot of response and brightness typical fat Les Paul. It vibrates a lot when we play, it seems that a good sign, at least it's nice.
The neck pickup I was very disappointed, I find it soft and unanswered. Well I'm using it not so much less serious for me.
The guitar sound is very close to my Epiphone Les Paul Standard Gibson 498T pickups mounted and 490R, with few exceptions: a little more treble on the bridge pickup for the neck pickup and a Custom77 much better on my Epiphone. Maybe he would have to go back a little closer to the strings ... I have not tried, but to see.
It sounds really mind Les Paul (in micro acute eh).
The sustain is excellent, although sounds are filled with a treat.
Excellent for the price, but what a shame neck pickup. I leave a note because I have not taken the time to settle (the back). It seems strange such a big difference between the 2 pickups.
OVERALL OPINION
To conclude, it's a great guitar, worth € 365 new, I just sell it for 250 € with his fly box, in my opinion a great deal.
I did not keep it because I have 2 LP at home, and I'm sentimental with my Epiphone, so that there is a party.
It amounts to good Epiphone Les Paul standard Gibson pickups upgraded in (except for the neck pickup), except that there is € 365 including VAT nine. For the same thing Epiphone: 370 € + 100 € microphones. So much better in my opinion, and she buries really Epiphone upgrade without microphones.
To recommend, if you do not fear the head of the guitar and horn!
