All user reviews of 4/5 for the Epiphone Les Paul Standard

It is a Les Paul Standard Epiphone factory in Korea in April 96, in the Samick factory prcisement.
For rglages is the classic in classic LP What a ...
Level violin, it has nothing to do with the new MODELS, is the solid wood, not the PC ...
Other features, it is a MODEL with a handle screwed! This is the deuxime I see as ... (The other drive G.com silent and out of the factory also Samick in 96 ...)

UTILIZATION

The handle is nice, but you have to like tuning forks 24'75 sleeves and big enough ...
It has 22 frets and usability of an LP ...
CHAC is quite acute in nazes, like a real LP ...

SOUNDS

I bought this to replace my Ibanez scratches which had had its day ...
Good as it's totally DIFFERENT guitar, but my LP is IDAL, I love their weight (a heavy guitar !!!), enjoyable their sleeve ...
I play on a Marshall DSL100 or a Marshall8008/Vamp PRO Rack and effects, I use a TC M300 for rverbes, delays, chorus, and compressor and a CryBaby.
Overall, the sound is rock ... Crunches are nice, the cleans are more friendly than those of the EMG of my EC-1000.
But hey, these microphones do not suit me too: Much too fat, low dgueulent everywhere, the treble do not show ... Impossible to have large distos!
And in addition, ca larsen block!
In short, if you do rock, do oeut ca ...

I asked him a Gibson 500T DiMarzio PAF PRO and this t. .. his violin on MRIT ...

OVERALL OPINION

I've had just a month ...
I really like the scratches, I find this really beautiful and mythical form suits me perfectly!
Having tried many guitars in recent times ... I really wanted to find an LP as a secondary scratch (I have a EC-1000 is truly a beautiful guitar ...)
Having bought 275 of occas', I think it's a good price given as the violin (the guitar was unchanged in 10 years), more fittings is new! !
I would do this choice, an Epi is not so bad in complment ... especially the old ...
With good microphones, it will be really good potential this guitar ...

on the other hand, Straplock requires ... because if you qye falls on the foot, it can hurt! (Almost 5 kg)

- Les paul shape guitar (epiphone as the odds are the same as for gibson)
- 2 humbucker then 2 volumes and 2 tone pots
- A selector 3-position toggle
- 22 cargo, the handle is flat

UTILIZATION

The neck is not easy to play when you're not used to this kind of innings, or when you are beginner. Access to acute is not at all easy (bah what is a normal les paul). Rather heavy, it's a good guitar for beginners fan of Jimmy Page and others deemed to paul ...

SOUNDS

I bought it being still in my infancy. This is my second guitar after a Squier Start, so inevitably, I found it sounded much better, being at that time a huge fan of Led Zep. The pickups have some fishing, but all the same sound fat. I have since changed for PRS McCarthy that sound much better, great fishing, vintage and hot, their output level is so high that they arrive at a clear set cruncher at high volume. Otherwise, to play Led Zep, the foot (McCarthy is the engineers at gisbon that developed in the les paul ...)

OVERALL OPINION

I still use it, but I plan to buy a Start able to change style of play and register because it's not really the strong point of this guitar. To begin, it is a good investment because of its proper violin that allows it to evolve.

See more advice ... Except that I changed the original pickups (more than average ...) with a kit purchased new EMG Zakk Wylde e 150 on Ebay! I also put straplocks Schaller (like a guitar, it does not fall!) And redo the internal electronic (I added the circuit of a MXR phase 90 in the body of the guitar, d clancheable by pulling one of the knobs)

UTILIZATION

Channel enjoyable as long as we are to take care in time (lemon oil, cleaning from time to time ...)

Access in acute is average, like all forms of LP guitars.

Ergonomics are average, I reminds that it is the body of a Gibon ... we can not have the spirit of a LP so it's easy to play, you have to suffer a bit!

SOUNDS

I play a lot of rock but I have a versatile guitar is to do a bit of blues, jazz and bossa! With the new pickups, Miss satisfy me completely ... she can spit fire as she can be calm and sensual. The clean sounds are warm and round particulirement. In distortion, sounds are audible, though both balanced and violent if you push it with an amp adquate!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 7 or 8 years (ahhhh the memories .... sniff!)

I can not criticize this guitar, it has found it!

I tried to plthore MODELS mid-range strat Mexico (none of me), Lag Roxane (trs trs cool!) BC Rich (pffff!! Look funny, but not trs go anywhere, as the pan!), Yam '(Versatile cold but ...), ...

Quality-price ratio honnte taking into account the change in microphones, mcaniques, the nut and the electronic (200 count minimum for the quality of stuff more than correct)

I would do this choice, I love the quitar!

See below (config 'original)

UTILIZATION

The neck is super enjoyable. It is a Les Paul, but yet very easy to j'accde acute ... No problem of this cot l. Form adorable, beautiful and simply legendary.
Heavy? Bof ... I can play for hours without suffering too much ... Sound is magical. The grave is a beautiful round, the treble is not too garish.

SOUNDS

This guitar is quite happening everywhere. I play a little bit of everything, and even in mtal it provides. I play "Like Slash" is to say a Marshall amp. Magnificent. Crunch? No problem. Clean? More than drinking. The ring bends beautifully ...

OVERALL OPINION

APRS two months of use, I can only say ... NO PROBLEM. I love it. Simply. Obviously, I rve a Gibson Signature Slash, but need a budget of madness. This one, to assure its price ...

thick handle for good grip, at least it feels like the guitar.
Micro Alnico (yes the original).
Asian manufacturing but not présicée.

UTILIZATION

Weight impec you can play with for hours.
Perfect position, the extension of the body.

SOUNDS

In his clear is almost as good as the gibson ... but must say that I'm using a Marshall JCM900 that should help lol
In short my solliste a gibson and sometimes it's hard to make a difference to who plays what lol
In disto's okay nothing fantastic, she throws for 300 euros!

OVERALL OPINION

Overall I have long had the Gibson complex but since I made "peace" with Epiphone I'm really happy
Over time I'll end up letting go for a gibson which costs eight times more expensive anyway ... and its not an 8 times, but hey "Only Gibson Is Good Enough"

But I will keep in decor so it is nice to look at and occasionally I will be right over

Don't believe those who say the Epiphone Les Paul is not top-notch, or nearly so- the only thing that disappoints are the pickups, and even they are decent. I upgraded the pups to Gibson Burstbucker Pro's- nothing else was needed. I upgraded the tuners, but only because I had a set of Gibson bell-knob tuners that looked cooler- the original Grover tuners (branded, not copies) were as good as the ones I put on. I decided to wait to see how the pots, switch, caps and wiring, and the nut, performed, and now, three years later, with considerable play, they are all working just fine.

Don't let anyone tell you Agile, SX, or anybody else's LP is better- it just is not so. If these were not made in Indonesia, they would be perfect.

UTILIZATION

Exact copy of the Gibson Les Paul in body and neck shape- easy to play, if a bit heavy.

SOUNDS

Works fine with any amp I have played it with.

OVERALL OPINION

Black, ivory and chrome color scheme avoids glitch and flash. This is what a Les Paul should look like.

Epiphone is Gibsons lower price line of guitar. They have pretty much the same specs as the Gibson models. The electronics are not as good but they are made from the species of wood but the wood may not be the best quality. The Les Paul standard guitar was introduced in 1958. They came with the first PAF pickups and when people talk about the Gibson tone they are talking about these. They have the standard Les Paul setup with mahogany body with a maple top and a mahogany neck with a 22 fret rosewood fretboard. Two humbucking Alnico Classic pickups with dual volume and tone controls with a 3 way toggle switch pickup selector. The up position on the switch selects the neck pickup. The middle position on the pickup selector selects both pickups. And the down position on the pickup selector selects the bridge pickup. It has a tune-o-matic bridge and stop tail piece.

UTILIZATION

The Epiphone Les Paul standard has all of the same advantages and disadvantages in playability that every Les Paul has. If you are use to modern guitars with thin necks the Les Paul neck will be very big for you. Because of the set neck design there is a large neck tenon and joint. This can make the upper frets hard for some people to reach because the body essentially joins the neck at the 17th fret. After the 17th fret you are reaching around the body to get to the frets. The tuning stability is good because there is no tremolo. The quality of hardware Epiphone uses is not that great. I have had problems with the input jack unscrewing itself and things like that.

SOUNDS

The pickups Epiphone uses are not that great. They are pretty muddy and dead. You do not get much attack with these pickups. Since these pickups do not have much definition the neck position can get really muddy. These guitars are chambered like the Gibson Les Paul standard guitars. This takes away some of the thickness from the tone. With a high gain amp the sound might get muddy due to the lack of definition. With some types of music these pickups are great. If you want a bluesy sound these pickups will do really good and you will be able to get a smooth tone out of them. With a pickup swap this guitar can sound great so I would recommend to anyone who has one of these Epiphones to try it out with some after market pickups.

OVERALL OPINION

If you are looking for a cheap Gibson Les Paul alternative there are better guitars out there. Epiphone makes the only official Les Paul copies but there are some other copies that are of a lot better quality. I would recommend looking at an Agile Les Paul copy. You can get a guitar half the price of the Epiphone but with better quality, and for the price you pay for this Epiphone you can get an Agile with an ebony fretboard and Gibson quality hardware.

2 humbuckers. 22 frets. 2 tones, 2 volumes. Handle D.

UTILIZATION

Guitar a little heavy but that's what gives it sustain.
Some find difficult access to treble with the training you get used to, obviously it will always remain less accessible than on a Start.


SOUNDS

For rock and jazz. For other styles of music it depends largely on the amp.

OVERALL OPINION

It's a great guitar. At the time (in 1998) I paid for new 3000 francs. I always had no problem with. On a fender or marshall it sounds great. Its very clear and distortion Enwrapping sound with heavy sustain quite sick. I love this guitar ...
I also have an American Start for versatility but it is not the same price. the 2 guitars full well. I recommend this without hesitation Epiphone ...

Made in Core
caractristique classic Les Paul Standard piphone

UTILIZATION

For my playing style (blues, rock, hard rock ,...) handle is perfectly suited!
very good balance, but not low = weight when we play up!
To be honest, if it's no use in conjunction problem: the excitation with quickly we forget the stress of weight ...
on the other hand of RPET in the weak beats are somewhat "seriously feel the weight of the guitar, but hey it's not very serious from the moment we are aware ...

Accs for acute classic for this type of guitar (you can not really make Satriani or Steve Vai but this is not a guitar for a! fate!)

Big sound easy enough

Warning lower volume knobs for styles less "hard" yes

SOUNDS



It's a good guitar "fat", with humbuckers.
It is a sound fat enough for the neck pickup and Plutt catchy for the bridge.

I find the "switch" mlangeur (position of the switch in the middle = BLEND two microphones), very good for clean sounds.

I play with an amp simulator (V-AMP PRO) so the possibilities are obviously very tense!
I started with a Marshall 100 Watt Valvestate series and even if it is not their best series (by far ...), even when acmnage !

OVERALL OPINION

Since a few years already ...

yes a lot (strata, tl ibanez, kramer, jackson, etc ...)
I took the most suitable notice my style of play

Sound

Though obviously, this is the price a very very good report qualitprix.
But over the years we realize that we should not compare the incomparable!
It's still a guitar under 500. Do not make a comparison with a real Gibson or Fender A veritable.
It is a very good guitar to start with (see a bit more ...)
Above is a skyscraper to a style of music very specific on: do not expect to gypsy jazz with this Epiphone (quoique. .. tell me some) very very

You can find information easily

UTILIZATION

The handle is pleasant, can be a bit difficult to LATEST frets but the sound always comes out well. I find if a little heavy but very little I played with electric guitars so I can hardly compare. Plus I use it only for the home studio, so sit.

SOUNDS

At the sound, nothing. I use a Pod XT, I always get what I want. I once played on a marshall amp, and the result frankly silent nice.

OVERALL OPINION

2 years of use without a hitch, but I still played on it so I had the wrong look. I nevertheless have qualitprix report seems very good. Http://eric-b.musicblog.fr on my blog (see View Categories "pop rock"), all electric guitar parts have t do with the instrument, if a can give an id e.

Sunburst Standard handle Made in al kora

UTILIZATION

handle end and lacquer painting, pleasant

SOUNDS

I had the bad luck that the microphone m ds ttaient make feedback that would put the gain of the distortion, even the kids.
I did not notice when I bought it for testing on an amp that I do not know.

The guitar has a `very very good sustain

I replaced the microphone by EMG 60 and 81.

Now she has a pure sound, but you must love the sound of heavy distortion EMG.

I will have more buying di Marzio versatile, but I do not regret my purchase because I now availing oneself of a good guitar with a typical sound.

OVERALL OPINION

Good guitar overall, except for the bug microphones origins

manufacture in korea (!) u very comfortable handle a little off but its okay
22 frets frets with a few small flaws finishes but nothing serious (it's still not a gibson!)
cons by the weight of good shall be identical shoulders!
microphones origins whistled tt therefore change trains for DiMarzio Evo II
mechanics are correct after 15 years they have not moved! crachotent the knobs a bit, but it manages with a bomb blows! the rest not care very nice run

UTILIZATION

varnishes do not hang your hand and are quite resistant to the sun ....
weight form is an acute lespaul therefore access to a fair bit but know where you're going with this kind of guitars!
after changing the microphone sound is to go and found the benefits of a heavy body that has good sustain with nice overtones a good balance of all frequencies are in!

SOUNDS

Good with these micro jazz is not good on the other hand rock blues hard rock neo metal is plenty to do! I play on marshall jvm 410 and finally I can get a clear sound, with a transistor amp was too powerful microphones and sound saturated Desuite! there with no problem beautiful lamps found the personality of the guitar in tt modes clean distortion crunch and more!
Perfect for rock style Deep Purple Led Zeppelin AC / DC etc. by microphones that are my top is versatile but in some areas the not amuse myself by playing country music with the microphone on it (it's on !).

OVERALL OPINION

2 years ago I wanted after a large flow of money to pay me a real lespaul made and I was disappointed by the prices and the models they offered tt (try more than 8 lespaul different landforms of 1959 to 2008 models!) certainly sounds typical varnish the wood were all very well but at the end of it with my Epiphone a15 years I really have a good instrument that cost me much much cheaper and with two three modif tt is made to my expectation this would be a shame to buy a guitar at 2000 € and change the pickups Desuite as possible and there's not kill the budget! value for money is excellent for me and if it was to do again I would do this purchase the difference is not obvious with the "true" to the final!
I like the least? not much except the pickups origins but be a bad little series that know .....
and the shield that I turned Desuite!

The Epiphone Les Paul Standard is a nice take on the classic LP guitar, under the Epiphone name and aimed at those who might not be able to afford a Gibson Les Paul. It’s got all of the same features and make up that you’ll find on a Gibson Les Paul Standard, but it’s made of lesser parts and I don’t believe it’s made in America. The guitar has dual humbucker pick ups, each with their own independent volume and tone controls and a three way selector switch for choosing between the pick ups or blending the two of them together. This is a pretty standard electric guitar configuration, which the Les Paul has impacted no doubt. I don’t really know what kinds of woods this guitar is made out of, but it doesn’t feel incredibly cheap unless you compare it directly to a Gibson LP.


UTILIZATION

Playing the Epiphone Les Paul Standard is no trouble at all. The neck is pretty round as you’ll find with most Les Pauls, although I can’t say that this one feels as fluid as a Gibson Les Paul in my opinion. Controlling your sound with the pick ups is really easy, as anyone who has ever had an electric guitar should be able to use this no problem. I don’t think that a manual is necessary for this guitar, although I haven’t seen one myself.



SOUNDS

The Epiphone Les Paul Standard absolutely has the sound of a true Les Paul. I haven’t had a chance to shoot out this guitar and a Gibson Les Paul, as it’s been a while since I’ve played this guitar. A friend of mine that I grew up playing up with has this guitar, so it was always around and I was always playing it, but never really did any recording with it. It’s certainly going to give you that creamy Les Paul sound, which anyone who has ever used one before will tell you works incredibly well for both rhythm and lead parts. I’d be curious to see how the sound of this stacked up against a Gibson Les Paul Standard, but from what I can tell it’s going to be closer than you think.


OVERALL OPINION

The Epiphone Les Paul Standard is a great way for beginning and intermediate guitar players to get a great axe at a great price. If you’ve only been playing a short while and are looking for a guitar to bring you up a notch without having to spend the money it would take to get a full on Gibson, the Epiphone Les Paul Standard is the perfect guitar. While some will say that this is cheaply made and all that, which I guess it is compared to the Gibson version, this is no doubt a bona fide electric guitar.
