Published on 09/12/14 at 13:41- Made in Korea, 1995 (Samick Factory)
- Tune-o-matic
- Mahogany neck, Ebony fingerboard
- 22 frets
- 2 humbuckers (probably Epiphone)
- 2 tone, 2 volumes
- Pickup selector 3 positions
UTILIZATION
The neck is rather thin, it really surprised me for a Les Paul. It is really nice to play, I would say (and this is hard for me to say this) more comfortable than my telecaster highway one!
The guitar is quite heavy (les paul requires) but it's not catastrophic, I have a custom telecaster (classic model 72), however, is really lourde..J'ai so used!
The grip is immediate in any case, I felt immediately at ease as sitting and standing.
Access to acute is relatively simple, a matter of adaptation as most guitars!
It quickly gets a sense, this guitar is outstanding!
SOUNDS
The sound is perfect for me, no matter what style I want to play (rock, harder rock, blues, etc. ..).
It is a sound typically paulien I do not know how to explain it autrement..Du its very clean round that crunch to wish a very warm neck pickup. Distortion, ca sending the block, a big big sound! I tested it on stage the day after my purchase, it was a wall of sound! Although the sound is fat, it remains well defined! Honestly the model I sounds as good, if not better, than some gibson that I recently tried.
I play on the Blackstar, I tried it on my head HT-50 and HT-5R and two cab mounted a Blackstar Celestion seventy 80 and a bugera (low cost) and it sounded in all configs! (By changing the EQ a bit obviously)
I love the bridge pickup that sends wickedly distortion! Otherwise, the clean is very very pleasant to hear too!
OVERALL OPINION
I bought recently.
I have tried tons of guitars and without exaggeration, it sounds like a gibson. It really has nothing to envy in terms of both violin and in terms of sound.
I still says it's a guitar that I bought used (for 199 €, the chance of my life I think) and it is a 1995 model made in Korea at the Samick factory. Apparently models this year are 5 notches above those for now because it is largely similar to a gibson (current) in terms of quality.
What I like the most? It is a les paul so his look, his sound. This is a real gem.
I came across a golden opportunity, I do not know why the seller is separated from his guitar, maybe a need for money, maybe he was not particularly knowledgeable, but this guitar is gold and sounds great!
