Origin: corrée
Body: Alder
NECK: Mahogany
benchmarks trapeze handle 22 boxes
3 humbucker pickups with covers dorres
Accoustillages dorres
A set volume and tone settings 3
A micro switch 3 positions
UTILIZATION
A superb finish, it looks really the same as its big sister. It just lacks the headstock similar (here Epiphone head ... shame.
The handle is very nice (only if you like the sleeves les paul!)
It's a beautiful baby quite heavy, but less than its big sister and at least we feel we have something between the hand!
In terms of access to acute, it is complicated, it takes a little practice but it gets there fast enough after the other guitars and get the cake!
But the main strength is its finish, and also its freight, they are smooth and do not exceed 1 mm! I'll put a 9 / 10. very beautiful and not so complicated to play it!
SOUNDS
The one reaches his strong point ... You play the blues / rock / reggea it is for you, sonoritées hot and powerful, with a pretty good sustain. (The third microphone brings a lot of heat!)
For the metal fan, I'm sorry but the bug will not let tamed, squeaky sounds fat and should be avoided.
It shows some limits on share qd distortions with much gain but for the price ... nothing to say it's a great sound! You will enjoy the fullness and accuracy above all.
Originally there were Seymour Duncan pickups, but I think it has changed since then, but when I tried new version I found it very good and almost comparable to Seymour (who are on mine )
Apart amp with very strong and a huge stage, it is frankly very difficult to make a difference with her older sister, goes as Epiphone and that's good for our wallet!
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 5 years. Its strong points are its finishing and blues / rock. Its main drawback: weight, access to acute. But the choice is very quick to € 750 you have a gibson at home, unless you play on a huge tube amp in a concert hall in 1000 people! And a small change in micro level should the problem!
The value for money is unbeatable, I believe that the level and finish you will not find better. I tried 2 Gibson Les Paul and I left with the Epiphone and yet I know myself really well ... I would do the same choice without any problems.
Continue to support the music and understand that the name of a guitar is one thing but what is the price of a gibson (4000 € for the black beauty) is really worth the difference will be seen that from the masters of ear for music (and even me I struggled to see a difference)
Good scratch all I put a 10/10 for the many quality face-to-market, but watch the prices will soon flare up as Gibson / Epiphone want to create a system consécionnaire in France ...
