    A good guitar for cheap

    Epiphone Les Paul Junior (Humbucker)Published on 06/20/13 at 01:44
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    Made in China, probably, it is a limited edition?
    Wraparound bridge, 22 frets, one humbucker, one volume, one tone.

    UTILIZATION

    Channel end, very nice, excellent ergonomics, lightweight, 2.7 kg.
    Access to acute is perfect, as all forms les paul.
    The two weaknesses: the Mecha and the bridge. (Change)

    SOUNDS

    The sound is good both clear that saturated (given the output level of the microphone, easy tendency to feedback)
    Amps: lamps or transos, with preference for the tubes.
    All effects are allowed, delay, wah, tube screamer, booster, chorus ....
    You can change the sound with the tone knob.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a month, I have 8 other guitar…

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a month, I have 8 other guitars (tele, strat, half body, sg, etc ...)
    What I like is the raw sound you get with a setting more simplistic (TV style), and the possibility of having a fat sound with distortion, very gibson.
    I would do this choice without hesitation (model anymore, but we used is around 100 €)

    Made in China, the rest of the details here: http://www.epiphone.com/Products/Electrics/Les-Paul/Les-Paul-Junior.aspx
    mine is white and she has the mouth!
    Bolt-on neck mahogany body and mahogany, in terms of finish is not very clean and the rosewood fingerboard is cheap for the price but frankly it's going. I ordered it in "the Germans" and I immediately change the microphone to a DiMarzio Tone Zone and the mechanical by kluxon: important thing to know to understand the following test!

    UTILIZATION

    This guitar is factory set (at least for me), I spent quite some time has set the easel, moin for the handle. If this is your first guitar this is an opportunity to learn to adjust a shovel! After a little patience I got a satisfactory level of attack, with some wrinkling and here.
    I was rather pleasantly surprised by the handle "slim type" (apparently the thinnest kind of gibson). It is still wide, and the difference in pitch (for those who are accustomed to the fender) requests a time adaptation, but after a month of personal use I feel it very well.
    The access to acute is sufficient for the vast majority of pieces.
    The guitar is well balanced, we just play sitting.
    I put 6 for the "after setting" ...

    SOUNDS

    The following is a test area on said Tone Epiphone Les Paul Junior knowing I barely tried the original ...

    In the clear: It gives assé right, neutral, soft with a bit of "slamming" all the same. After I have little to say the above, it is not made for ca poor, but know that the tone area will prove a docile when your shades of games as clear distortion.

    Disto: The ca pretty hard, the sound is thick, a bit grotty as I like, not muddy and are not keen ears bleed, lots of bass and midrange. For my kind of rock, punk, ca hardcoreavecdescouilles the serious fact. After you have to admit that this guitar does not sustain the masses and the harmonics are not easy to make out (despite a rigorously adjusting intonation). Purists, soloists, here you are warned masturbators.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a month, this is my first les paul. I fell in love with the look, the only micro, simplistic use and price. And for the 100th guitar ca worth it, visually it is very cheap moin that other low-end guitar yet more expensive. Apart from the lack of an adjustment it will scratch ideal for beginners. Finally if you stuck him a good mic and good mechanics, you have to want a guitar that 200th Road for REPEAT and concerts. Ronck'n'roll!

    White is alright

    Epiphone Les Paul Junior (Humbucker)Published on 02/14/12 at 14:22
    Gibson has a load of different types of guitars and they also have a sub branch company called Epiphone which is basically the exact same guitars as Gibson Epiohone's have the exact same type of guitar and see you can get the same type of tone overall with these instruments. This is basically a Les Paul style guitar that is actually called the junior guitar. Gibson's junior guitars feature a single humbucker pick up and the body shape was a little bit thinner and smaller overall.


    UTILIZATION

    A real Les Paul boiled down to the basics with one powerful Humbucking pickup.
    Bolt-on Mahogany neck with SlimTaper neck profile.

    Bolt-on Mahogany neck with SlimTaper neck profile.
    Rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium/jumbo frets.
    Premium hardware including Nickel hardware, compensated wrap-around bridge and covered 14:1 tuners.

    SOUNDS

    This is a very cool guitar for someone who likes that Gibson Les Paul tone but wanted in a cool vintage style guitar. It features mahogany wood which gives it a nice warm juicy tone and it fits well in most styles of music. It has a nice focus tone and it's a little bit different voicing from a standard Gibson Les Paul instrument. This is a cool hot Rod Gibson Les Paul guitar because it features humbug to pick up along with one volume control knob and one tone control knob. It has great sound but not something that I would look for in a Les Paul guitar.

    OVERALL OPINION

    These guitars have been discontinued for a while but you can find them fairly easily on eBay or other auction sites and as well as online forums classifieds. This is a cool guitar to add to anyone's collection. If you want a hot rod LP style guitar than this is a cool way to go. I like this guitar a lot but I would not see it being the main go to guitar for me. It does have a cool hot rod look with the single hum but overall the sound is a bit lacking for me. I need a more balanced tone that can cover some of the brighter higher frequency tones.

    Made in Indonesia, stop-bar bridge handle, "C" screwed mahogany, 22 frets, double humbucker one Made in Epiphone, two new Les Paul style knobs (clear black numerals), volume and tone.

    UTILIZATION

    The handle "C" is sublime, stamped in gold: "Epiphone Custom Shop Limited Edition", the back, white as the body of the guitar contrasts with the key that is, it seems, rosewood, and therefore quite dark, and an appearance at this guitar as the other colors do not. It is very pleasant to play because of his finesse that makes it available to all hands.

It is very pleasant to play because of his finesse that makes it available to all hands.
    The form is that of a Les Paul lambda, but however, the body appears thinner. The mahogany guitar that is entirely (except the key) makes the guitar very light (maybe even too much). The body shape allows a game sitting more or less comfortable.
    Access to acute is easy as pie (in my opinion, but note that I have very large fingers) and allows the bender to the last note of solo kills without Lais.
    The simplicity of the settings and configuration of this guitar can get a decent sound without breaking too many fingers, however, the double humbucker provided serial is very typical and not necessarily clear and accurate (at this price should not surprising).
    Small point to note also: the imbalance of light lifted into play the guitar, it may be nothing, but measuring 1.85m tall and using a strap short enough that I like down to the maximum (Yeah! punk is not dead!) I feel like I feel my guitar nosedive.

    SOUNDS

    The sounds suit my game very often saturated (Punk, sometimes metal).
    The clean sound is pretty hot, and as soon as we increase the saturation a bit, spit in the microphone quarter turn, but loses its accuracy record, I'm a little embarrassed when I play eg Careless Whispers echoed by Seether and I am uncertain about the rendering of certain notes. The sound remains sublime in fat bass and the guitar screams happy that punk is not dead. Treble therefore remain a small black dot on the table, but in my opinion, it is perhaps better to exchange the Dual humbucker against a P-90, which will have a sound closer to the Gibson model and an impeccable record .

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it since August, (slight disappointment when serving Woodbrass who served me anyhow and whose after-sales service has proved not only ineffective but unsympathetic, albeit on a small story, but which clearly showed me that once the customer has paid, it is clearly not the king) I used a dozen model before taking it made me drool for a long time (in As a good fan of Green Day), I have chosen for its price and its aesthetics, mechanics are perhaps a tad too "IRONMONGER" and the words "junior models" which replaces the words "Les Paul models" m unbearable at all.
    Some would hate can not be the head of this guitar, I can understand, a matter of taste, others will say that the sound is horrible, I'd just typed.
    Of course, this guitar is not perfect (the violin is to stack as many Epiphone guitar), but the quality / price ratio is impeccable, and yes, with experience, I would gladly do this choice, especially knowing it is no longer produced.
