And all that .. It hurts .. very bad ..


UTILIZATION

This is my favorite type of handle! (I'm straight huh let's calm down)
Form "C" round but close behind is perfect for my hand, I prefer to handle than my gibson les paul standard 1987 which is between a 50's and 60's (I'll later ...)
The weight is PERFECT nor too heavy nor too light, we are confident with, but not driven into the ground with a strap, my Gibson is heavier which feels after a good half hour ..
Access to acute I want to say it's a les paul, we know why we buy a nan!
SOUND? YES. YES. YES. YES YES.

SOUNDS

Hallelujah sound! So it fits perfectly with my style, being a great admirer and eternal teenager listening to solos Jimmy Page, Slash, Joe Bonamassa, Gary Moore, Doug Aldrich etc ... you get the picture lol
I get the most monstrous of all special les paul I've played (really eyeGO not list them all) on the ass, stunning, breathtaking .. I SWEAR you that I not add. .

Good and the earth stops spinning, jvous why ..

I have a gibson les paul standard 1987 which is to be the model used for slash tour guns use your illusion, you see the thing or not? one with a maple top 3-piece single specificity of this year, the original model inspired to YOUR SLASH short, I continue.

The neck pickup is the original, do not ask me what it is I know, and the bridge is a seymour duncan alnico 2 pro slash signature, the first signature model micro slash out during the short velvet revovler I continue.

It turns out that I thought I had the best sound of the earth, for me being a fan of slash to the base (a little more bonamassa now), I play with a configuration bonamassa ie a marshall jcm602 (unknown to many as better for me! I prefer the jcm 800 is tell you) and a marshall dsl 100 plugged into a cab palmer 2 * 12 void in which I put 2 hp EVM
12L.
I have a morley quad box that allows me to split the signal and play the 2 amps at the same time, good sound is the best that you can imagine, it must be heard to be believed.
And I had an Epiphone les paul plus top pro fx which I did not like her and I wanted to share my despair not sell against an Epiphone les paul classic birdseye.
(A big thank you also to the opinions of this site m'à guitar which helped tremendously in my choice).
From the ban epiphone I wanted in my life, because I have never had a single scoop of this brand that had a clean sound!
I made the exchange, I bring the birds eye at me and already worried about the empty guitar and shook my gibson by his SLAMMING VERY MUCH OF HARMONIC AND A RESONANCE ever seen on a guitar before (at rated it was equipped with a set of 9 40ché not what, short of chewing gum) .. (though I have had a great burny grade 59 reissue 1984 reissue as a Orville 59 1998 MIJ real good, not as a MIK that the)
I hasten to change the strings by ernie ball Oct. 46 titanium (best strings in the world, try them and you can not change, they do not rust and do not break, it's not bullshit lol!)
And my friends believe they have the best sound of all time with my gibson ... and thinking I could salvage with this scoop ..
But ... DOUBLE OUTPUT VOLUME OF MY GIBSON already! Electronics at the same time it is the work of pro! Jmettrais photos!
So that m 'has bizare but then if it was the output volume!
The clean clear sound! Net! Slamming! Treble what should too! Monstrous bass! Fenderien sound in middle position! (The fan fender going to kill me) the bridge saturated, sound and endless sustain! That I say! eternal! harmonics erupting but clean as it should be! dynamic defying weightlessness! has a grain into a seizure!
Jm good races on the end .. but I confess frankly I'm disgusted at the same time the happiest guitar with this guitar not even 400 euros!!!
while on the Epiphone les paul more top pro fx j had installed two Seymour Duncan pearly gates, a selector switch with gold plated contacts, she had the sound of a wet firecracker ..
And catastrophe! Say that my gibson! Most perfect of all time! Ultimate dream!
Crushed déchictée in one bite .. by Epiphone
The world is not the same for me today I would not probably be selling this Epiphone, I'll keep the pampered and played with ease! Better than elitist and yet korea!
Incomprehensible but true, this is a rare find everyone says, I've seen two this morning at 1200 and 1500 dollars on ebay! Look with your own eyes! This guitar will become a highly coveted piece ..




OVERALL OPINION

Few days ah ah
So many styles
I love EVERYTHING to by though, I would have preferred yellow rather than cherry burst but with all good eh upgrade it impossible to find better.
With the experience I have the choice of years before! Instead of spending in full of others who do not even make weight.
If you find one go for it! Seek not to understand! When you understand it will be too late!

Manufactured by samick in 1994 it superbly aged ...
making a serious and very well finished ...

mechanical, not terrible but perform their work properly.

UTILIZATION

the handle is great, very nice, not too big but just right for a good immediate handling ... rather accustomed to flat or strato-type sleeves, I had no difficulty coping with my big paws ...

SOUNDS

micro side, mine being used during disassembly for overhaul, the configuration is very special ...
original neck pickup, bridge pickup and changed by the former owner by a Semour duncan 59 N. ..
And yes not a current neck pickup mounted in the bridge position, unorthodox, but it sounds like hell ... A good height adjustment microphones was necessary to obtain clear sound very convincing, paradoxically, the original microphone (properly tuned) sounds better than the seymour ducan!

a warm sound, jazzy clean sound ...
with a good distortion, we quickly took to gary moore, with a very nice sustain ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have several guitars including 2 brand G & L, I think this Epiphone will stay long at home ... excellent value for money ...
a real favorite ...

Samick Korean manufacturing plant in 1995.

natural maple finish birdseyes (although according to some sources it is a fake birdseyes, it has the look and more importantly, it is a series that sounds!)
microphones origin (I guess since humbuckers black like in the pictures catalog).
rosewood fingerboard.
difficult to say what is the body, but I do not think will be of mahogany, dark brown hue despite the data (after unscrewing the plate hiding the electronics back, I realized that the body is wood a very "white" too white to mahogany, basswood? alder? maple? personally I think it does not matter because the sustain is!).
bought secondhand for 290 euros ...

UTILIZATION

ergonomics very satisfactory. I really do not like playing on the entry level, I would say the finish is exemplary (especially for the price I set)!
relatively small weight (which confirms that it is not mahogany body)

SOUNDS

honestly ... I was amazed by this instrument! it is not pure Gibson Custom Shop (which I have tried and where there is no photo ...). For cons, I believe that this "small" guitar slaps a Les Paul Studio (I tried and gave me ice ... but it might not be the right guitar, not and even has some ... les paul standard is to say!) especially considering the price I put! It is possible that there are bad instruments in a series, but from my research on the net, it seems to confirm that the series "birdseyes" EPIPHONE of 90 years is a bit of an exception. I came across it by chance and what luck! Sound (for mine anyway) pure Gibson with the definition on both the micro neck on the micro bridge. Sustain madness ... (I can not even imagine with burstbuckers ...) In short an instrument slaps in sound, especially considering the price I put!

OVERALL OPINION

to the conclusion I put a 10/10 because I included the purchase price: 290 euros!. frankly, for that price I will challenge you to find a comparable instrument! For the record, I was looking for a guitar "Jam" in order to get away with without fear of damaging it during evenings or other guitarists play on your guitar, I was facing Epiphone without saying a priori it would be just okay ... and knowing that I did not have in my Les Paul guitars. I expected a guitar without personality and what was my surprise! Today, I bought another guitar to go "Jam" (a Squier, and there is a lot for his money ...) and there is no photo, Epiphone stands out as a guitar exception ... these gems we unearthed without thinking ... They are still in very affordable price then go for it before it will know that it is rare gems ...

Made in korea

handle end

Alnico Classic pickups

SETTINGS les paul

UTILIZATION

handle very nice

access to acute also depends on your finger , right?

SOUNDS

played on all tube marshall
jazz / blues / rock
Hot!
for the metal it will take effect in more (I did not)!
the pickups are too criticized in my opinion ... but it's on it's fertile ground for the upgrade ...

OVERALL OPINION

I play for 10 years and I play it for 1 year.
I've tested three dozen guitars (I like).

it was costing to allentours 4000frs of its output, so 600euros,
it was not already the new scam.

My model is 1994 if you can find find one in very good condition for 400euros I say banco!

for a beginning guitar / midrange is bluffing!

Refer to other opinions, by finishing a "birdseye" particulire in Saddle of the table there is no change compared to other Les Paul. The mcaniques are not unlike the oil bath new MODELS I saw in stores rcemment but it is correct.

UTILIZATION

It is personal and subjective but I like the shape of a handle manche.Je prfre much like the rounded sleeves "modern" plats.Ca all is well in hand and lends itself well to solos and rythmique.L 'Access in acute is not optimal (3 boxes are on the body of the guitar del pan shot but it is far from being pnible. Ergonomics trs is good, it's round, warm, sensual, less comfortable but certainly a TARS prtant trs though the game sitting and standing. trs Mahogany is good for sustain, but it is not a legends: it is actually heavy. There is nothing without ...
The major advantage of this guitar in my opinion resides in the possibility of rglage offered by the 3-position selector that puts the neck pickup alone, bridge pickup alone or to link the two. This was associated with a volume and a micro tonality. A system that is efficient and trs I do not, moreover, it is not more rpandu among other brands.
Another highlight of size: the bridge tune-o-matic that does not move JAMAIS.C is merveilleux.Bon I admit that those who want a vibrato may feel frustrated to be limited to bends, but for those who s 'to fuck it's perfect.
The boxes are very small by hand against doncgrosses refrain

SOUNDS

Well said and aa t rpt original mics are atrocious!! It is impossible to have a sound DEFINITIONS correct saturation, and then do not play a single agreement and noted no empiter not come to another if you find yourself in a nasal sound espce magma and draft of the worst effect. In his clear is bearable, the combination prfrais I shut the two microphones together with the neck pickup Tone up and that the bridge baisse.Le the neck pickup is correct without the bridge pickup is a horror, he is the draft nasal ...
The output level is low, the sound lends itself to lightweight rock, blues, reggae bridge pickup with its clear as a password (small cot aggressive acute slamming) and with the sounds of the bridge grimey greasy grunge type distortion 16-year background in a garage which is not my case.
The pickups are not everything and it must be said that the violin is exellent and saw trs bien.J 'have kept the violin and changed the pickups I urge all the owners of this guitar, and since a lot will mieux.j 've put seymour duncan: duncan distortion in a rack that is trsmtal and heavy, clear sound not so good it's not a micro but trs good versatile in its field and JB model in a race to the Mount is versatile and lends itself well this guitar.
My rating of 4 will be compared to the original pickups.
they are both micro easel so I mount the strings pulling the largest fully as possible ceques rquilibre guitar since I rcupre of graves.D especially as the duncan distortion is very acute and has very little serious.
This is a guitar distortion specially in this configuration. The clear do not even hit that penser.Du jevoudrai play clear I play in crunch ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have this guitar for 7 years, buy OCCAZ, she probably Oct. 8 years and is in good state except a small piece of the table that went between the neck pickup and the neck (it should be be careful to view it). The handle did not move the electronic non plus.J 'I changed the jack for a better recently that the other had no problem.
The comfort of the games is not a TARS trs satifaisant but certainly, the finish is pretty birdseye tripe.
. Exellent quality over price but it is imperative to change the pickups.

Made in accordance with the core MODELS (mine comes from the factory Samick)
The violin is finished, the handle is in the mind of a gibson and the table in birdseye is superb.
the pickups are great! mcaniques are not the bath oils, but it really is not Gnant.
the rest is the same thing for all of the pi 'les paul.

UTILIZATION

The use is that of a les paul with its default and its quality.

SOUNDS

Originally it was not so good: I have a little forgotten since the time his silent but not great, but a typical rock humbucker sound nice.
I changed the pickups from the old Gibsons.
Now the guitar has the sound that was missing.
I do not sell you the microphones gibsons, but it really is a mandatory change.
guitar deserves.

OVERALL OPINION

My first real guitar in my purchase with me, new in 1994.
she has aged really well, proof that the Koreans are not so bad (compared to sutout China now).
lach nothing in 13 years, she took a dark honey color and the handle has not moved.
changes in the microphones is the only thing to do if a "taste of luxury." with the microphones that go well you have a "les paul for real".
I would do this choice, especially the table birdseye (although less common than the flame).
I'm not going to spare, on the contrary.

Bought new in 1997 at about 4000F (600 €).
The most beautiful guitar that is (if we changed the head with a Gibson).
See below.



UTILIZATION

Nothing wrong with using. Handle very nice.
A little heavy as a Les Paul ...

SOUNDS

I love the clear sound of the neck pickup.
I like the sound of saturated bridge pickup.

Sometimes difficult to find a sound that is clear and round (either too loud or too rough). But we correct that with the amp.

We are not in the Gibson pickups, but those there are honorable, well better than the Epiphone pickups today.

Versatile.

OVERALL OPINION

My only electric guitar.
Ever wanted to change it.
My opinion is not very objective because I only like the guitar
