    Epiphone Les Paul Custom [1989-2012]Published on 10/12/10 at 03:28
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    I has a `MODEL manufacturing Coren, seems he is a better bill that Chinese models. For the description, I always think adj t said so I do not m'atterde.
    I put only 9 as footnote because I think the acastillage aging badly.

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is pleasant, even if it is a strat months easy when you have not used, but with the exprience found its brands, personally j love it.
    Only the weight of the guitar is a bit lv sometimes when playing standing. But the wood is used cel (mahogany) and the thickness of the body, but instead sustain is increased, which is a good point.
    CASC for the treble, I personally have no problem individuals.
    To better see the result of the notice.

    SOUNDS

    I mainly play blues and I must say it suits the style parflaitement. Clean sound I prefer the neck pickup, I find the bridge pickup a bit garish. However the bridge position should be very good with distortion though lacking a little DEFINITIONS.
    I only play with amps Fender Champion 600, and the new Mustang, which I find much better than the Marshalls for this type of microphones.
    Personally I do not justify the idea too rpandue who wants to be mritent pickups changed, I also availing oneself of a Gibson, and share a little lack of d finish, this is not the day and night, far l.
    Finally a vintage sound I think that's very good.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use this guitar for 15 years and I do not regret my purchase, I also availing oneself of a Gibson Flying Start and a standard, and I play much on all my guitars.
    Which I think may be his main default, the knobs are almost useless in tone. The electronic deserves to be amliore (capacitors) rather than micro, I think.
    I find rapprt qualitprix done everything intressant, mfois Gibson still does not justify such a price cards.
    I would do it without hesitating same choice today.

    But you guessed, I love this guitar. About my first electric guitar

    This is just a great guitar, and compared to the price tag of its Gibson cousin you really can't beat the price.
    This has got two great sounding, super warm alcino pick-ups, all mahogany body and neck, a rosewood fretboard, 2 volume and 2 tone knobs, gold hardware, and a 3 way pick-up selector switch.
    The neck in my opinion on the LP Custom feels a bit more sturdy and thick compared to the other LP models. I'm a big fan of that feeling.

    UTILIZATION

    This guitar feels and plays like butter, it is really smooth and sturdy. When you are playing this guitar you definitely know that you've got a guitar strapped to you that commands your respect.

    UTILIZATION

    This guitar feels and plays like butter, it is really smooth and sturdy. When you are playing this guitar you definitely know that you've got a guitar strapped to you that commands your respect.
    Everyone knows about how easy a LP is to play, it's just the way they are designed, so enough said about that, although you may not know about the weight. A LP, espically the custom is a heavy guitar, it's not like playing a strat...at the end of a3-4 hour show your shoulder isn't going to be too happy with you.
    As for how this guitar sounds, its really fantastic, even compared to its Gibson counterpart. I've played the both side by side and to be honest there is a very minimal difference in the guitars. The alcino humbuckers really sound great...very warm. It's pretty easy get a great sound out of the guitar, just two volume and 2 tone knobs, pick which pick up combo you want to use and you are on your way.

    SOUNDS

    This is a great rock, blues, jazz, or country guitar. In fact I think I've seen someone playing a Les Paul Custom at almost any show I've gone to or played at, including myself. I run mine through an apmeg 4x12 halfstack (tubes not solid state) and the sound will blow you away, in my opinion if you play a Les Paul through anything but a tube amp you won't get the sounds this guitar was meant to produce.
    I don't use effects, or distortion, you really can't beat the sound of a LP custom...why mess with it.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've owned this guitar for around 6 or 7 years now and I'm still just as happy with it as the day I bought it. I really like the LP custom over other brands for the sound the produce and the feel of them when you are playing. I love feeling that sturdyness...like I said it's nothing like playing a strat. When I bought the LP Custom I was definitley shopping around a bit, only other LP models though. I decided on the Custom for the feel of the neck, I like the block inlays better than the trapazoidal inlays also.
    You know for the sound that you get from this guitar compared to the Gibson version or other guitars you can't beat this price.
    If I were to do it all over again I'd definitley make the same choice...
    Definitely buy this guitar!!
