Made in Korea, configuration and type design GIBSON Les Paul.
Mahogany (?) Al a body composed of falls dacajou (?) Coiffedune table I do not know koi. Over time the varnish leaves apparatre the number of parties in the back of the guitar. Cest a luthier friend who pointed out to me. (Mine was 5!). MODEL Jajoute it silent in the first made by Epiphone-Core and still had the head like Gibson. Manufacturing has been Bonnifait can be.

UTILIZATION

Channel enjoyable and right, finishing correct weight (consquent) and rglages inhrent this type of guitar. Tones Blues / Rock / Hard / Reggae.
Guitar trs not versatile by design (3 distinct sounds) but enjoyable play.
By playing against standing for over an hour of physical performance is! and sat there shall adopt the back of the guitar in the Torax.

SOUNDS

I had to buy OCCAZ 2500FF the era in a music magazine for its looks "Black and Gold" (despite the low maintenance accused) and anxious to have a "big sound ". I used a Marshall 8040 and a Boss ME10 the era.
For the "big sound" ... was a little! Dj acoustic c'tait not great, and once industry ... "blah" ... I have changed my Strato but no more.
The pickups lacked agressivit and suggested a "plop" of the attack mdiator solo. They were replaced quickly by Seymour Duncan (a "59" and "PG-1") and aa lot help matters: C'tait much more convincing! In saturated and especially in his clear, especially intermdiaire position. With a little compressor and chorus c'tait divine! (I can still see the singer group exclaiming "Damn that sound!"). In the "serious" silent sound enough "Jazz" and set to "treble" dfoulait me of AC / DC.
Until the day I bought it from a lamp 60W amp, which made it clear the default apparatre of violin making. I put the microphones origins and sold it (at the end of two years) with nanmoins heart sank.
It's true "she threw" a gus and squinted on the guitar during my trips.

OVERALL OPINION

If this guitar is not above reproach (Previous DSOL for notices), it remains a good guitar for beginners. But I find it a bit expensive for the "Made in Cora": 700 € all of the same! Ephiphone advantage too of the reputable of its big sister GIBSON while for a similar price was a PRS-SE of the same type but much better bill in violin and microphone. (But with a little less hardware course ...). Plutt try to find one used!
Nanmoins I do not regret having bought this guitar because I was with her a passion for The models such as "Les Paul" which I think is better my game (Rock / HardRock "70 "" 90 ").
