UTILIZATION

Of mahogany varnish, hardware, finish, everything is impeccable. However, it is regrettable that appear in black netting sheet Saddle Flamm which gche a little Aesthetics.
The handle, and overall, everything is identical real Les Paul. The trs mcaniques are well agreement.
The pickups are Gibson and trs sound lgrement more powerful. The electronic is good, no surprises.
Given the quality of all, I did not do too much concern for the future.

The grip is exactly the same as a Les Paul which is an almost exact copy.
Exactly the same as the original default: weight, too potentiomtres moves away and towards the rear dport it causes when you play the guitar sitting on the knee, forcing in this case using a short strap.
That said, the handle is trs fast, the guitar arrived perfectly RULES (string height, microphones, narrowly octave) is one of the few times I had nothing o and yet I do t dealer in the past and I saw dfile ...

SOUNDS

In my opinion, having had the opportunity to use MODELS prestigious, the sound is excellent, carrment the height of the original. The sustain is incredible, easy dclencher harmonics. I mainly play blues and I can spend a aisment his jazzy seventies rock sound on my Marshall JCM 602. So I do not use any effect with. However, do not expect agus strident.
The pickups are more powerful than lgrement "Burstbucker pro" who quipent the Les Paul 59 (7.8khoms neck, 8.khoms bridge) against 9.6khoms 10.52khoms neck and bridge for the 77 Custom. What could be a plus for fans of metal.

OVERALL OPINION

At present, it is impossible to try a Gibson easily, thanks to the policy of selling Gibson Europe that deliver their products as achtent stores a certain amount (significant) of their products both qu'Epiphone Gibson. So that there is a fist in stores that offer. In the impossibility to freely choose their dealer and then to have the product CASC, it only remains that the purchase by mail, which is unusual considering the price of the BTE.
So I chose to boycott the brand.
Start playing for a long time on tl and I wanted to come back REFERENCE Gibson to diversify my sound in my concerts. I looked for a solution on internet and I stumbled upon this brand, and not a contradiction n'tant prs, I bought it by mail, thinking that in view of the price I would at most change the pickups or mcaniques and make rglages. What does not surprise me to receive a guitar beyond my expectancy at!
There was a moment I eye on the instruments made in Korea, and I must say they have compltement Intgr mind in manufacturing quality. This instrument can be professional, and the question it poses is that $ 365 Difference 4000 to justify it?
To listen, go see the video I did with no effect, just with my Marshall:
