USE
She reveals her beautiful flamed maple top thinner than the CS-4 and acastillage gold is sumptuous. The rosewood fingerboard is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen: no comparison with any dry or porous rosewood, those who cling fingers or are of a brown poo not presentable.
Here, rosewood fretboard is a nice dark brown that draws on Rosaceae reflections. The touch, it is very nice and gives a good impression of having been treated with linseed oil (or other, in any case, it is comfortable).
SOUNDS
Connected, leave the microphones understand that the dip in the midrange of the CS-4 is here offset by a nice bump that enriches the signal and provides a more modern and precise sound.
In his clear, it was the pannel Les Paul observed: it sounds jazz, pop.
Harmonics shout, the woman tone occurs saturated neck pickup: forward for the 90's rock and 2000s, as it also has a say in the metal.
It lacks a little something to play with the very large, surely the time will make its case. For the price range, this is exceptional !!
NOTICE GLOBAL
No standing ... well imbalance, how much? Oh that's it ?? Less than five percent ?? Ben voila, 310 Euros expo price (instead of 370) Les Paul that sounds and is very beautiful.
Let's be clear: I am a musician and guitar collector and I like good instruments that sound while having the mouth.
Both London Burning CS-3 and CS-4 that I tried are no longer small guitars and put a big fat kick in his mouth to Epiphone. By having the intelligence to be both manufacturer and distributor, the trio of 77 at Custom avoids making up prices but this guitar is 1000 Euros minimum. It's not very big, the small defect is that I still find it a bit young ... but who knows, grow older, they may improve and give the same as the legendary Gibson copies Fender and Ibanez was doing in the 1970s.
It deserves his little encouragement!
