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.
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.
