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

It's a Les Paul, everyone knows ...

But, as amended by luthier with:

-Non Don Lace sleeve
-Non Lace Sensor Red Dual easel

-Chevalet Wilkinson rollers, large bridges rglables race
-stop Fine tuning Vaccaro bar (very rare) that adds body to the sound because it has more of matter and DETAILEDREPORT in the mass.

-Mcaniques Black Grover locking quick assembly ropes

and stationary belt buttons Strap-Lock history it does not fall on stage.

Without forgetting the wood lighter than a conventional standard.
I'd list as Les Paul changes because everything that is not a standard at all, despite the opinion of modrateur who did not have tried before judge

USE

It is always a Les Paul ...

However, it is more lightweight, so the shoulder hurts less, but the sound is not to suffer, far from.

SONORITS

The highlight, thanks to the many changes.
Forget epiphone you have experienced, it SONNE and sends it right.
Between Rock Jazz very round and very dense, nothing ADOPTED.

NOTICE GLOBAL

Superb guitar, very beautiful, the table is beautiful flame maple.
This is a rel happy to have it in your hands.
I've had two years, I still love.
I tried a lot of epiphone before, they do not make weight ct

I just bought this guitar 460 euros in store, tell the truth I do not know if it's a standard Plain Top or more standard (if someone just help me):
characteristics:
-mcaniques Grover accuracy of all than my Gibson Faded Lespaul
- Al sleeve with a beautiful rosewood fingerboard all the beauty faded Gibson is infrieur regarding the handle (much bigger and thick, less well finished)
- Mahogany body, lighter than that of the Lespaul, I prefer the Gibson with no varnish thus leaves or wood and stroke the wood.
- Table flamm maple any beauty Gibson has no maple table at all.
- 2 Humbucker Alnico very good quality they sound less dry than 490 of the Gibson Faded.

Both say right away if you hsiter Gibson Les Paul faded between 700 euros and Epiphone, Epiphone take, the finish is much better and the Grover mcaniques better quality of the Kluxon.
I sidr by the quality of this guitar compared eg Prs Santana SE.
Compared Gibson USA, the Chinese manufacturing helps to provide more for less chre.


USE

I bought this guitar mainly for its sleeve. I love my Gibson Les Paul faded but his neck is too wide and thick to play quickly, the key is more bad quality.
The handle of the piphone is round and less thick, much faster and the key is of much better quality has sees the naked eye.
The ergonomics are very good, the guitar is slightly lighter than the Gibson, if not the form we like it or not like it, I love it.
I find easy access to acute but on the other I'm not ct Satriani ...
We immediately get a good sound.


SONORITS

I read reviews that say we need to change the pickups, I not rpons. Really not worth it.
Compared Gibson, the sound is even better, less dry, more fat on the neck and just as sharp in acute microphones.
It's the sound you love, bold, warm and full on the neck pickup. I do not see the advantage to mount a 59 Duncan will be certainly more prcis but will not have the Gibson grain. Compared Gibson, I prefer the neck pickup of piphone.
In clean you can play blues, jazz.

The bridge pickup is a bit less powerful than the Gibson but really you have to play for hours to realize it. In any case, it is better than Santana Prs Se.
This Epiphone presents a sound less modern than the Gibson, it is better for the blues / rock, hard / blues but play metal, Take the Gibson. The sound is drier, more modern law.

NOTICE GLOBAL

Very frankly I will sell the Gibson Faded because aside from the fact that there are marked Gibson on his head, it is well below the Epiphone in comfort. For Epiphone sounds made many Interim progress I remember the old Epiphone factory in Korea whose sound was almost deaf. So do not believe the guys who sell Epiphone Core or Japan by saying that it sounds better than new. That is completely wrong! Epiphone is widely at the Gibson Faded especially well above the old Toka I have 25 years of experience ... If you really want the sound pure and hard Gibson, take the standard 2000 euros, I had a studio which was still worse than the faded.
I put 10/10 Epiphone this knowing that I do not know if it's a standard or standard addition. A truly amazing guitar! An audience will not make the difference with a standard Gibson, I think the guys who change the pickups a bit to do anything because the pickups are really very good.

Made in China, like all Epiphone.
Bridge tune-o-matic
Channel 60's profile, rather like that of Gibson.
22 frets, 2 humbuckers, 2 volume, 2 tone, 3-position selector 1.

UTILIZATION

The neck is perfect for my taste, it was really good in hand ..... it can be tiring to start for beginners.
The interface is identical in all respects to the "real" and access to acute .... not the best in the world, but it is a Les Paul.
We easily get the sound you want, even if the microphones are improved.
Note that it has a weight, which can surprise me in the beginning .... it does not bother me, on the contrary, at least we feel we have something "clumsy" in the hands!

SOUNDS

Are they suitable for your style of music? YES
The sounds are varied, everything goes on this guitar, but the rock, hard rock / are its chosen fields .... blues and jazz are not left out either ....
The sound is fat in OD or distortion, although "guts" ..... the cleans are not bad at all ....
The bridge pickup is my favorite, the handle a little less because it quickly becomes messy, especially with gain ..... ultimately microphones are average, but not to throw the dice the first few minutes! for the price it is very correct, if you take the time to adjust the guitar. It is true they are quite neutral, without a great personality, for they have against an output level enough balèze.
The sustain is extra, as the true .... probably due to its good body "massive" and heavy ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a little over a year, and I'm not tired. For me it's still worth it sûre.Avant I had a Yamaha Pacifica and a Cort M200. Nothing to do .....
I honestly do not have specific criticisms of this guitar ..... the look and finish are beautiful, the sounds are quite decent at first, the violin is very good ..... the volume knobs work well and are not "ON / OFF", those tone a bit less, but it will.
The Grover tuners are excellent, it does not move one bit what happens.
The value for money is EXCELLENT: at present, it is less than 300 euros on some sites, and frankly, at this price, I do not see anything requiring more .... must well set at the start: curvature of the handle, action, intonation, pitch microphones, and it sounds!
Then, for less than 100 euros, you can mount GFS pickups (including the price / quality ratio is stunning) and there for not even 400 euros was a guitar that has not much to envy her big sister ..... the pickiest can possibly change the knobs and optimize a little wiring, and there it will be really perfect home perfect!
Several times I asked myself if I was not going to sell to try to find better, but in this price range, I have not found, for me it is THE quintessential Les Paul copy ..... logic, it is now "branded" official Gibson.

With experience, you do again this choice? EYES CLOSED!

These guitars are made in Korea. This is the Les Paul standart, body and Mahogany neck stocky, rosewood fingerboard.
They have 22 frets, two humbuckers Epiphone standart. The bridge is the standart Gibson: Stop bar and a nut Tune-O-Matic. There is a volume and a micro tonality.
The neck is typical Gibson, broad and rounded profile. But on the other MODEL they can be more or less fine

UTILIZATION

For fans of the neck is a Gibson happiness Access in acute is not easy on the particular lines (like on a Les Paul).
It is a true Les Paul dcoupe no stomach, no change from forearm, and its weight is consquent, but it's a good guitar rocker!
The big sound is of course the field prdilection.

SOUNDS

This guitar is dedicates to rock, from the Blues and up to Hard.
I use a JCM 900, a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe and a Marshall SuperLead of 1969
The sound is warm and fat trs for micro serious and quite (too) for the micro incisive acute
I liked the sound of the mics handle but not the micro acute that I found too garish.
I changed the pickups for two Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates, and I think the team of quality pickups it competes with guitars more Chres.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this guitar for 5 years. I love his sleeve rve (and color, see my profile)
I have not tried many MODELS before buying because I liked it right away, I just have to wait a month to have the dosh. The report quality price seems reasonable trs. Exprience with this choice probably I would do (changing mics included), although the new Lag Roxane made in Korea, too, are excellent competitors in the same type of guitars and the same price range

Nothing to add: especially not floyd, big fat humbukers, roots wok and woll attitude and physical flows.
I note though that mine is a SPECIAL EDITION! (???) It's good. Besides, if someone could explain what changes it would be very nice.

UTILIZATION

The handle is nickel: the frets glide like soap (but this is the SPECIAL EDITION playing ...). I almost never found better. Access to Acute = matter of habit, anyway we are not here to play the Vai.
Weight, you get used to, but the strap-locks are needed as soon as we move a little.
For sound, it's Gibson LP and less well: the need to tame, there is not anything you want with (same as the Gibson).
on the other hand, huge black spot: the LARSEN. It's simple: volume 5, distortion of the amplifier is hyperacute live as soon as no longer plays: the footswitch takes a beating. With a distortion pedal it manages, but it's still not the ecstasy. Need to change the pickups ... snif

SOUNDS

The sounds are fat distortion is the riff in a box. In his clear, there are many combinbaisons thanks to four knobs, almost jazz sometimes.
When you play a note on the cheek not half: the sound is supported, limit piano (I said "limit").
The microphone is a bit sharp one screaming. By combining the two microphones and moving tones there are some beautiful sounds.
In summary, I repeat: we do not all styles with it. The well-funk classic to avoid further such.

OVERALL OPINION

The sound has a nice personality, but P!!! of feedback ...
Excellent quality / price against it of course, the difference with a real Les Paul is not so obvious, except probably at the finish (a little false to the octave for example).
It's a great choice, but the microphones are changing from being pushed a little distortion ...

Saddle bomb table - mahogany and alder body - Tune-o-Matic - mahogany neck - Rosewood fingerboard 22 frets - 2 humbucking pickups - 2 volume + 2 tone - Slecteur 3 positions - Color: Black Asian manufacturing

UTILIZATION

Channel: super enjoyable, it glides well, the oval is rgulier. its particularity as any LP, the handle is bigger ke the normal, so refrain lumberjack hands! CHAC is the acute CHARACTERISTICS of this model, that is saying quite laborious. The key is enjoyable.
knobs: a little too hard my tastes.
Finish: Saddle table trs beautiful, round, well al trs no errors of paintings, all The elements are assembled. gdvis the plate to look like the Gibson LP Standard MODEL 60 ', I was like a prfere is a matter of taste.
Ergonomics: acute elusive, it is quite heavy but normal c utiliss saw the woods.
a vacuum: it sounds pretty good, the woods are the Raisson.

SOUNDS

I play with a Zoom 707 II amp and Berhinger UltraTwin 210gx.
related to the style I play zik ke:
_metal: the microphone was serious enough power to play good mtal (silverchair, Mettalica, manson ,...).
IDAL is the handle to play in Dropped D, Dropped C and even as the handle is perfectly flat. for solos, I suggest you change the pickups because the treble is really pourrave (not prcis, screaming)
_blues: its good to go to a crunch channel, the bass are hot.
overall it sounds pretty good, but fo really change the pickups, I lay not, but in my opinion would change everything with a Dimarzio, Seymour Duncan or.

OVERALL OPINION

A good guitar trs trs report qualitprix interresting. if you change the pickups, the guitar is well worth a premium, because the finish is irrprochable. bravo!
the scratches, it falls in love very quickly

Quitar 22 FRTS with three pickups selector positions acute, severe, and both together)
2 for the volume knob and two knob for Tone

UTILIZATION

This skyscraper is super enjoyable, he criticized not only her big round trs enjoyable especially for solos but you get used quickly. treble its easily accessible but the space between two FRTS late trs is tightened, a shame if you have large fingers!
Otherwise it is lgre super, super ergonomic

SOUNDS

The sound of the Les Paul here is the best.
what sound, but what is. when playing the AC / DC amplifier Marschall believe this is preque for Angus Young. But nothing good n'exagron sound is Polivalente trs, we can both play a good blues-rock that hard, but is not too mtal push the distortion which is a shame.
The microphone is really acute gnial

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for 1 ½ years and I can tell you that I do not regret having purchased
the +: lgre, you feel at ease when playing, its a good homogne and trs
the -: the handle, and it's hard to follow for distortion too poussbr /> It is trs INTERESTED in price and frankly it can compete with other scratch marks and much more expensive

In short I recommend without any hsitation a guitarist he is pro or beginners

It's an old MODEL the brother of a friend I was given a drop APRS ... handle cass! Ailleux ...

It dates from 1990, the head is thinner than today (near the old gibson) and inserts the key is mother of pearl ... (Or immittance).

I entrust my luthier who rpar me pronto. For more than worries.

Made in Korea (I think ...)
2 humbucker,
Mahogany body, maple table by Raport
Channel 22 frets Mahogany neck button sticks Rosewood ...
Fixed bridge.
2 volume and 2 tone
2 pickups selector positions.

UTILIZATION

The violin is well made, comfortable handle all goes well, it's a Les Paul!

It weighs quite heavy so if you have a better standing in the scene to consider before buying.
The highs are quite accessible but it is not an Ibanez! and that's good!

It is very simple to get a good sound. Grant, plug up the sound and hop it Up!

SOUNDS

It is totally original, the humbucker pickups have a nice color is clear, ideal for blues and rock (neck position and neck + bridge).

In distortion, better avoid the trash cellar The definition is no longer an appointment, ca ca drool everywhere and whistles every 5 minutes as a concert laurie!

The knobs are down they are all flu. I did not bcp plays in recent years ...

I use a Fender Vibrolux reverb amp veil of 79, a distortion pedal to marshall drive master and multi-effects Zoom 2020.

OVERALL OPINION

It's a good guitar for anyone who wants to start with a clean slate and be able to evolve in its games. Then it will invest in a set of micro ...

all good games

First of all, you should know that c is a scraper that I use for 5-6 years.
-Corp mahogany table and Saddle
Corenne-fabrication
-22 Frets-for microphones, I have change the bridge pickup to a Seymour Duncan SH-5. As for the neck pickup, I don t change anything.
-Adjustable plastic (rusty), 3-position selector
-Rosewood

UTILIZATION

-The neck is super comfortable, I have a jou frquemment Epiphone G-400 and therefore I can assure that the handle is trs enjoyable thanks to good balance of the guitar. In most cases, I played for 1:30 hours, 2 hours and I never got tired of the paws.
Access to acute L-demand all the same to have the hand and usually for those who usually plays on the SG STRD or Stratocaster, it's going to be a big change.
-C is a guitar that PSE 4 kg, ie it is not lgre request and have right shoulder muscl.Pour aesthetic form, you d be judged according to your tastes.
-C is a guitar or it can get any sound to play according to the Manir. Finally dsl for shows but the question is connes I think.

SOUNDS

-Usually I play Guns and Roses, Zakk Wylde, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Megadeth, Ozzy Osbourne, Pink Floyd, Aerosmith ... Well, it suits me really well I usually play except for Megadeth, for a, c is really innadapt.
-I play on a Marshall JTM 615 tt lamp (EL-34 Sovtek Marshall 83 EC), I never play with effects (the j is found not useful for what I play).
-Some would say that with the amp that I have, c is not so much the stuff of metal, but with the SH-5 Seymour Duncan, I get it its really a metal, a little vintage trs which is nice. In comparison prcise, prs Darkness resembles a "black shuk" or (depending on settings) Guns and Roses live. C is really the sound I was looking for that because we must admit that with the old pickup, the sound was gniale for the Led Zep but only has a few other faiblare.
-The sound that I prfre is that the lives pdt Slash (you will tell me that he did the same material pa but I have not the same ways that he and the closer I get the bcp's, those apprcie least that I have, however, sounds neo metal or like Kyo.

OVERALL OPINION

C is really a guitar that I love, the sound is really excellent and if you know rglages do on the guitar and your amp, you can get enormously. For anything I sell. I am happy with my purchase TRS and yet at the beginning I were a little anxious. But however, c is a guitar that request have a good habit to use. J did a scne with her face I had a j Cort and Ibanez (medium range), it is silent all connected to the same console, I was told that my sound was much better compared to the other ( notice of musicians).
However, c is true, for solo treble trs, it is super boring, but tapping it gniale.
With 10 years of guitar including five with the MODEL, I will no other choice MODEL.

Made in Asia but trs well finished.
22 boxes
2 volumes + 2 tonalitbr /> Humbucker Pickups
Pass Channel

UTILIZATION

The handle is soft and trs size enjoyable
The access to qigu is correct but for those who have small fingers after the drive box 20 coins
Good balance gneral
Great sound there not to say it sounds Les Paul ....

SOUNDS

For all that Hard Rock and Blues is OK ...
Coupled with a Marshall VS 100 R ca pte fire ....
Ith a very good overdrive sound right in the clear.
This guitar is made to rsolument pter watts, she can still stay prcise

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 7 years and I never tire of it. I think keep it for life. It is a good value guitar trs quality price. Ideal for a small budget DSIR into the legends Gibson Les Paul ...

- Limited Edition Les Paul Cherry Sunburst
- 22 frets
- 2 pots blah blah its all we know LesPaul

UTILIZATION

I have a Start and an Epiphone SG Us is the mache bin of my Les Paul is definitely one of a layer, and finally even if it's not like I find terribly enjoyable with Access in Acute beautiful
Well it is a little heavy but it is a Les Paul so it's normal .... I love this guitar good even if I want to give a neutral for those who do not bin it going not be too easy becaufe it kills this guitar ....

SOUNDS

Ohlalala sound .... sublime, as clean as that in distortion, it fits perfectly both versatility and this does not make that more attractive .... For any style of music.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this guitar for 2 years without me tired. Right behind the handle there is written that it is a limited edition and I still do not see how lol Anyway ..... Easy to play, looks great, his inimitable .... if I had the choice again I re plutt twice that! Mine is quite old so the switch treble / rhythm starts to falter but hey this limit ca change ... I highly recommend not say go it is better now than my Start but even when it kills.

I possde an Epiphone Les Paul Standard bought in October 1995, made in Korea
22 frets, 2 humbuckers, 2 volume, 2 tone, the handle is al.

UTILIZATION

The handle is trs enjoyable to play, not too pais from a les paul studio for example. Acs for acute is not as easy as you can imagine, but is it the advantage of the les paul?
Trs beautiful shape, perfect finish (one seller told me that the finish rcemment n'tait not as successful on the new range Epiphone Les Paul) but a bit contrived, it is the common lot of n ' matter what the paul.

SOUNDS

I bought an era o j'tais rather a fan of Metallica and Guns'n'Roses, she silent perfect for me. Now that I'm more oriented pop / rock, it still gives me satisfaction Entire.
I used a Marshall Valvestate 8040 and a marshall Submitted MG100DFX.
The microphone is rather serious in its pretty clear, trs jazz, gives good rsultats its crunch but loses precision with large distos. The microphone is rather sharp in its garish light, it seems that it is rather built for distortion and it gives good rsultats trs. Only default: high volume and high rate of distortion, a feedback goes, we must lower the volume knobs and Tone.
I love the position intermdiaire in its clear or crunch, it is perfect for the game arpges.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 10 years and the Luter did not move it sounds like the first day.
Even if I bought it to play j'apprcie saturated today's increasingly clear sounds and crunch (even if I think buying a telecaster in order to broaden my range of sounds that level).
I had paid the era 2700ff (around 410), knowing that c'tait a promo (in other stores, the same coutait 3200ff).
It's a versatile guitar trs as we do not play in extreme styles, so trs qualitprix good value (especially when you see the finish of the box). For the problem of feedback, it seems, the view from the view of some, that the drying of micro would cope. So a guitar evolution, I think it's a choice I would do without hsiter.

Everything is aprfait by the microphones to lower quality but is in detail and to prices you have a real gibson United States in the hands ...

UTILIZATION

I have been playing around with this guitar is perfect I find myself a little vibrato would have been welcome to my solos ... hihihi Anyway it's a Les Paul.

SOUNDS

Microphones microphones always good but it still gives a good sound for rock blues and even the heavy but not extreme.

OVERALL OPINION

Utilistation: last month
super form and is a perfect gibson the only diference is the microphones and the name written on the top of the neck ... must put humbukers gibson and you have a gibson les paul in the hands

My date of 1995 epiphone, the body is one piece mahogany, with mahogany set neck and rosewood in touch.
The mechanical types are Grover.
Tal perfect varnish.
It was built in t core.
The pickups are the legendary home epiphone stews.

UTILIZATION

The mechanisms are very mean, they never really tennu the agreement.
I was satisfied with the microphones at the beginning.
The violin is very good against.
It is heavy and access to acute biensur is difficult.
The knobs are blah, the problem is that the sound is good only if they are over 10, any decrease in the volume or Tone on one or other of the microphones frankly alters the sound.

SOUNDS

With the original pickups, the sound is worth the price of the guitar, very good for a beginner or an amateur looking too.
However the neck pickup can show a lot of subtle overdrive with lgre.
In general it is not the top but ... it is quite acceptable!

I changed the bridge pickup for a seymour Dunca SH6 distortion, and frankly depot ca! That said, Was that good sense?
After reflection, no ... the les paul is very nervous and the sound of the SD is the rich, powerful, precise, peevish, but ... it would be better on another guitar!

Now it is on the les paul is not a guitar for rock or thrash extreme.
these styles were a bit like the sound does not "come out" of the guitar, it's brid ... so much more bluesy up microphones and subtle, comfortable in the overdrive and distortion.
microphones rather intended to be so large saturation rather, in my opinion, undesirable.

I just ride my SD SH6 on my epiphone SG G400, the ca frankly the fact! the guitar seems more adapted such microphones, more nervous and more direct what ... Finally, that's another story!

so I then replaced the pickups with gibson HBR HBL and split ... ca and kills!
Regleg in a small luthier lz for the handle and the tune o matic and presto! guitar kills!

frankly the ca emerges, the sound is rich, beautiful, powerful, guitar and let live!

in splitter, then it's crazy! Imagine a simple micro les paul ... incongruous? Well think you can be is the is the best!

I put 10/10 after changing pickups

OVERALL OPINION

A good guitar for beginners, develop with pleasure!
the change of micro mechanical and will make outstanding guitar!
about the microphones, make the right choice and remember that this guitar is not for the thrash!
(Of violin making Epiphone mid 90's is he seems much better than the epi early 2000's, if you buy OCCAZ rather take an "old" epi)
