Value For Money : Excellent
Made in korea for this faithful replica of the Les Paul.
All mahogany rather heavy (there are actually heavier ...)
2 tones 2 volumes (each volmue affects the noise level in the intermediate position) 1 3-position selector.
Fixed bridge, rosewood fingerboard, 2 pickups Epiphone.
The set is very well finished gilding is still present even after 9 years ...
Handle a "thickness" very comfortable especially for bars and "reels" blues include access to acute ... actually quite good once you get used to the gear (I had the time to 9 years :-)

UTILIZATION

Handle very pleasant kind gibson style aficionados will be delighted, it has in pognes ... good access to all acute strings to La.
Although a little tiring standing in postion it is nonetheless very comfortable.
The sound with the microphones of origin is too neutral so I changed the 2 pickups (EMG 60 in severe acute seymour in SH4) ... with the new config change is radical!
is the kind of guitar that deserves its violin that we change the original pickups ... you change the universe at all (I kept the microphone long enough with the serious home SH4 acutely to compare .. ahem output level is a little lower for the Epiphone but what is the biting warmth and sustain, the SH4 has a wonderful record with mahogany body )
I put 9 because the original pickups passable (I prefer that economies do on electronics rather than the violin and the manufacturing quality ...).
Without that it would be ... 9 1 / 2! ;-)

SOUNDS

This guitar can suit all along the microphones that you put on (I'm assuming that everyone can and should change the pickups as it is advantageous to do so!)
peavey bandit 112 on everything going well without special effects.
The sound is heavy and warm with great sustain (set neck and mahogany body fixed bridge)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it a lot since 9 years but I could compare with "brands"
Once the pickups changed it is in fact the comparison.
Very good value for money I paid 595 euros in 2000.
