    Extraodinaire not at the quality of the matrial, weaker than its big sister in gibson, but a price report.

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is pleasant trs, trs the doights slides easily.
    The access to acute is not super easy, it's a les paul!
    The weight is ridiculous, super lgre, a great advantage much less severe than that of Gibson. The finishes are good for a guitar Plutos also inexpensive!

    Nanmoins the sound is really not trrible with the original pickups, I've addition of EMG active (81 and 85) and rings of fire god.
    I played on a 5150 van halen signature, it sounds very much cependan vai biento I sell it for a guitar of quality American-made!
    The Gibson bonnifien over time, the Epiphone goes wrong !!!!!!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I am four months since the User.
    She is very beautiful and super light, cheap.
    However the pickups are really shit and the quality of lments adsir leaves.
    The price quality ratio is excellent, bought 300 euros a person.
    I do it again this choice without ESIT but as I already di lai chang it fo micro or it nen vo pa shot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    - Les Paul Standard which matches exactly the dimensions of its high on Gibson

    - 22 frets, tune 24'75, mechanical grover bath dhuile

    Lensemble is of good quality instrument making is for a irrprochable EST I put a note on this point because Lepi did better than guitars 3 times Chres.

    - The handle is off, when you're not used to that drle but for my part I find a super enjoyable
    - CCAA aigusnest cest not easy but who wants to form a.
    - Laccordage rglages and are super simple, its a tune o matic m not like those of Floyd Rose, Grover mcaniques are good bills.
    - The slecteur does its job, the knobs are a bit damplitude

    Lensemble is simple and easy, the knobs are too prcis, the handle is super comfortable. This guitar is a Les Paul is one we love is not love.

    SOUNDS

    To be objective: I play on a Marshall Valvestate 8080 in RPET and Vox100VT in a night. The guitar has sustain madness, the pickups lack a little EHJV but I find their sound trs typ. The neck pickup sounds warm and round plutt, the bridge pickup has a slamming his carrment. The gain is quite low because we have some crunch with the microphone back, and return to light by lowering a little the knobs and without losing too much volume. This guitar can sadapter all styles of music, but it will not necessarily lese on all fronts because it is made primarily for blues, rock, hard rock. davoir least one mega-multi-effects dnature sound (amp and guitar in general).

    OVERALL OPINION

    Cest my electric guitar troisime APRS a Samick Artist SERIES, an Ibanez Artist AS-50 1982. Unlike those that many people think this guitar nest not only made for beginners. It is certainly correct trs to learn but also perfect for really go away. Replaceable in the original post with good microphones microphones (without the Gibons be) I guess quon a skyscraper more than perfect. To pass over must go to Gibson, other brands offer good quality guitars trs Lesprit but Gibson Les Paul in EST or at Epiphone. I do it again but watch this choice there too much diffrence between sries, so it is better to try the guitar before spending the cash.

    It's really nice to play with, access to acute is a little difficult at first, because frankly, after a while its not really bothering ... Then it's a Les paul is not forgotten

    Is said to be heavy ... Yes but I love its weight, I do not know why! Then it is no longer than 3 tons huh Its shape is great for play, assi it does by no means bad knee, and standing niquel it too;)

    It is easy enough to be granted, the three most acute cord ...
    As we made agreements, and playing her fast enough to Disagree ...
    So when the tuning without scratching, it is pretty high up the rope and then played to see if the sound has not changed

    SOUNDS

    I play mostly Guns N 'Roses, So given a semitone below the standard, D #.
    I play with a Marshall MG10 for the moment is to help me out
    So good, the sound distortion is not great but neither I AYou a shit! Far from it! I think with a better amp, the sound should be great!
    In clean in any case, it's fabulous j'trouve

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have for about 5 months.
    Honestly, can be had by the microphones, and remove the strings a lot, I have nothing to say about it!
    I try a model before, but I always liked Slash and Les Paul ...
    Good quality / price ratio

    Repeat the same choice ... Its depends, I bcp agent, I would not of course at gibson ...
    But if so, why not

    Les Paul type guitar, composed of 22 frets. Two microphones: a handle, an easel.

    SOUNDS

    With the original pickups was Boone sounds bills. Too full, the sound can be rough. The feedback is not problematic, unlike the Gibson pickups uncontrollable.
    With Seymour Duncan Jeff Beck '1 bridge and a neck PAF), the guitar sounds spot on! I use a marshall VS65R, SansAmp gt a 2, a delay and a boss chorus and a wah cry baby, I'm comfortable anywhere! Recently, I put a v amp pro, it also works.
    The sustain is great. The legato out very well. The tapping and sweeping are highlighted. Pon and plays very well in the clear, quasiement a half box.

    OVERALL OPINION

    My opinion is very good. This guitar is for everyone, beginner as confirmed. Those wishing to change their microphones can do so without fear: the sound will be better.
    If this choice had to be rebuilt, I will not hesitate. It corresponds with my GTX Start format (3 Di Marzio pickups, the mechanical locking spertzel. To one aspect of my personality guitar. Do not lack a skyscraper style ibanez and 24 boxes to complete the circle ...

    Mahogany body, mahogany neck rosewood fingerboard, mechanical groove very nice, two humbucker pickups type, a tone and volume for each microphone, 3 position selector, 22 frets, a pickguard.

    UTILIZATION

    I love the neck, the rosewood fingerboard is super nice, it is not too small and it is not huge, of course, do not have the fingers of 3 cm.

    The sustain is good, thanks to the bridge (it's not a floyd rose m ****).

    access to acute becomes difficult from the 17th fret, that said, it is not impossible.

    to form something new: a classic jamma is out of fashion, I love the les paul.

    to form something new: a classic jamma is out of fashion, I love the les paul.

    only weak point: the weight, because it weighs about 7kg and it's hard to jump to play with or behind the head.

    SOUNDS

    It is perfect for my style of play, style blues / rock hard / rock to AC / DC or Kiss, though some say that the pickups are missing fishing-because these are metal, I find myself I get to have a perfect sound that I like, both in crunch that clear (I even had to spit out a rotten behringer 15w!), try it with a Marshall Valvestate type (not a new generation) and there you will attract all the women who will listen (even old).

    OVERALL OPINION

    I utitlise depui maintenat 1year and a half, and I'm delighted. The ratio of money is correct and I would do this choice with his eyes closed

    I love the clean of scratches c'te actually. Although round, though warm, is a DLIC to play it. And then the crunch simpa are also with the bridge pickup. I Reserved however the neck pickup for cleans (with distortion it sounds like a fart in the water). Personal is not it ^ ^

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use since 2 years, I told you bah veiled c'que I think.
    I like his vintage Aesthetics which paradoxically does not take a ride! That's only I intend to buy the original at Gibson!
    In the era I had nothing but scratching c'te test before I was thinking that the era I n'tais not fix on my tastes and this guitar made me cr er a musical identity and I mean both ways: it is wrong to say that the guitar is not the guitarist ^ ^
    Well good for scratching not too expensive. But not last either veiled exceptionel what.
    J'prendrais exprience with this opportunity, but even when j'la advises it really is a nice little scratch This is my Premire and she does Determines so I can not be impartial but I love this guitar. Even if I have the + or - the store in the closet since the arrival of the LTD EC 1000. : D

    SOUNDS

    Versatility has its limits of extravagance .. the only BMOL and the microphone position changes only very little sound .. and the last fret treble strings sound relatively few ...
    For the rest we pass from Jimmy Hendrix MM through Sum 41 .. Jerry C. .. AC / DC and so I spend the same blues and titillates the Hard Rock ... tell you: p
    The sound is warm .. enjoyable ... it will make you enter;)

    OVERALL OPINION

    9 / 10 is gnial, beautiful, a sound very close to Gibson ... you do not hit u dream but you approach it ... and approximately 5oo pence I do not like to call it an entry;)

    I would do is choose your eyes closed and I judge the quality price ratio must.

    Good scratch

    Access in acute ais not but when you buy a les paul that's it!

    Same as before, the ergonomics are doing it and it's heavy weight (a real good APRS ca be slightly worse!)

    SOUNDS

    Yes mostly rock and blues saturation

    Marshall VS100

    Trs its full, warm, double microphone is really an incredible efficiency.

    I like everything, it lacks pcision when even in the acute, the Fender is that we must go!

    - Trs beautiful bag comes with

    I give 8 because I wanted a 100% mahogany body and a more powerful micro acute ...

    UTILIZATION

    - The handle end is remarkably easy to play:
    a slip alone, especially since the frets are wide and low, but with enough space in boxes Most recent internship to ask those fingers! (But my fingers are fine)
    - Access in acute type is ... Les Paul! That - that it will take to twist and well put his thumb to play. Good for the game scne, not good for sweeping or extensions!
    - It is heavy as a Les Paul any self-respecting ... prvoir a strap with a reinforcement to the shoulder. Can be used as weapons if song! However, it is well balance.
    - The agreement mcaniques are well, look good and are prcises
    - SETTING THE The intonation is not the best person in the world with the tune-o-matic and acute micro!
    - The height of the microphone is easily adjustable. It is too low to cause acute microphone.

    I give 8 because of the weight of Access in acute and intonation SETTING THE backwards.
    But as she perfectly silent RULES (action, intonation, rgularit freight), I give 9!

    SOUNDS

    - I play all styles of Blues with a drive head and a Marshall JVM baffle 4 X 12 Celestion Greenback.
    - We obtain the exact sound of vintage Les Paul. All Led Zeppelin is the! But John McLaughlin Mahavishnu PERIOD PERIOD or Jeff Beck Beck-Ola. Play on an amp lamp is back in time!
    - Trs good for blues, jazz, rock, hard rock.
    - Not enough output level for the metal. It becomes all messy fawn ...
    - This is a guitar for earnings idalie modrment levs (IDAL with a Marshall JCM)!
    - The biggest is the default dsquilibre level between the microphones: one must put the bass and treble volume MOITI background, even after having much the height of Mount micro Acute ...
    - Mahogany, weight and unique dcoupe gives the micro serious trs sound velvety deep, round, full and warm. Perfect for glisss!
    - The Saddle vintage gives a sharp sweet-sour, with the micro acute or both, ideal for the style of BB King, Freddie King or Albert King. Even if we get better with a semi-hollow (ES 335) ... Let's say we approach it terribly! Enough in any case to vary the sound in a song.

    This is exactly the sound I was looking for but I only give 8 because of the weakness of micro acute ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have for over a year and a half and rpond exactly what I wanted: to have a Les Paul type CHRE not to play with the same constraints and (almost) the sound of many my guitar-heroes of their own songs or their style.
    Oh, I forgot! For me, finishing in bne is the most beautiful guitar in the world!
    I think with other mics, I spend the same Gibson!

    >>>> Horrific APRS installation of microphones and Verify ', there is indeed a thickness of 1.5 cm 2 of a saddle and Saddle Famm sheet.
    Channel two parties reports, super thin, flat (type jackson! Another surprise) that begin with 22 frets quite admit their age.
    The pickups are original (not for long).
    I changed the tailpiece and the bridge home for a couple Gotoh transmitting much vibration. The tailpiece dorigine Stait us to quickly gorge crossing ropes and under the right hand (!!!). The nut is bone (+ rsons too).
    Mcaniques of origin (always stable, surprisingly, still a good surprise). Jattendais of limprcision for change and are always l. But other fats of time.
    Strings 10-52 or 11-56 mesh flat jazz (rgal one!)
    I put 9.5 for configuration, instrument making (manufacturing plutt) treats and without default (not like a lot of Gibson!) Not to mention the wear on frets.

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is a real track game until the 17-18me fret, APRS is necessary to give a little pain may be too late for the good hands of bcherons, with medium frets -jumbo that do not hang at all (trs another pleasant surprise). It shall not be twisted or even PForm sil is fine and not new. Cest good sign.
    Access in acute is ... Not easy. But we are prvenu! And we must tame a scraper of this type, it can not be played as a. For the rest it goes "well" in ctes with softened corners just over a real Les Paul (I say 'must be tamed). We know! And on mine, the weight is correct for plutt one unit of that kind. Should that lasted seven hours non-stop, even when! Otherwise, hello kin a bit like a Les Paul, what! But we know too! Cest not an Ibanez Sabre. Point.

    Combining original post
    + Bone nut (most standard Gibson no longer have, that the poor plastoc!).
    + Easel in real metal.
    + Good pulling strings.
    + Action a little high (2.5 mm 2 Douzima the box).
    =
    - Its that sest enhanced and approaches (not compltement) dune real Gibson Les Paul Standard.
    - Good volume.
    - Best DEFINITIONS
    - Her full, more rich and full vacuum (a rgal yet).
    - Sustain crazy (a marvel).
    - Vibrations all around (a tickle).
    - The bends not easy (ae!) The horn on the fingertips (ouille!)
    - A guitar is any more fits all (pyro) modern (though with an effort ... again!)
    I walk down the note 8.5 to 9, due to the lack daccès acute angular body.

    SOUNDS

    Well, pass the point a little critical of the ergonomics relative (o the bevels are?? And the heel affine ???), we must talk about the big criticism of this guitar: the microphones, c is not new, it's not original! This is normal.
    As I bought it new, just my preference. Then over time, and fiddling with other (better, wonderful) guitars, one s'aperoit weaknesses. The game evolves (and better 'is esprer) and the requirements are more sophisticated.
    In a good amp lights, the microphones most often kindly fill their office, in the light jazz, blues, blues-rock quiet. In crunch, has spent as the saturation lev nest not too blues-rock, rock. But the ds saturax is sturdy, they admit their limitations. As for distos of all kinds, take the time to find the legalization that will make it less runny. Rock and heavy rock: OK. But forget the mtal or thrash edge, has not work.
    Transistors in an amplifier, may get better but it should not be a bass amp load / medium low.
    Changes tailpiece, nut-string never catch up to microphones in dire need of clarity or punch or prsence (Oh burstbuckers The pro without cover Gibson! The PAF, SH2-SH4-5-6 Duncan ! The Norton, Tone Zone, super distortion, evolution of Di Marzio!). So a lack of DEFINITIONS, cest rough, soft, tangle.
    And to make matters worse, with lge, these microphones have lost a little clarity and quil DEFINITIONS had. And power as well. Dmagntisation magnets, rapid aging and low music, or my ear that does not support more? A little everything, I think. Daut, quaprs have got a standard Gibson, a Lag Roxanne, a PRS, it's more possible to support a! L or can be crmeuse Gibs and a little dirty, rocky, the microphones will be more of my Epi boiled - with songs.
    It may also be part of the pulling ropes.
    >>>>>> With stainless steel strings, it's brighter, but does not help the imprcision.
    Ben honnte to be, the microphones will cder better place (Duncan SH 2 and 4 or 5) or more extreme (Duncan Disto, Di Marzio Tone Zone?) As so many others have on their Epi. And it will be left with a vengeance!
    Come on, planning a new small frets, before replacing them in some nearby years, a shield and the tower will be llectro jou. It will be virtually no default!
    I do not know if for a else would be worth to the transplant while the frets will also change, as the guitar nest longer young, but for me, I dont doubt I want this enough to continue playing Polle, and for the redcouvrir in a new light. Cest Gibson and no one will ever be a nen, but we know too. E This is a little diffrent ft, and for a cest I'll keep it. It has its qualities, and its default will be partially erased. So what?

    OVERALL OPINION

    So for the report qualitprix of this gear, it would lpoque plutt twice quune I Rasht an Epiphone Les Paul Standard (a little less present), even with these microphones. Javais bankrupt even buy a custom 3 pickups a few years ago. The Epi Les Paul today seem worse off in the woods, but much better at the microphones. I prfrerais a scratch with better wood. The pickups can be a change.
    Short! Résumé to: Has my Premire correct scratches, and it will be one of my prfres.

    Description've seen ...

    I take off point for the two knobs, which, in my opinion, are almost useless (the settings are made on the receiver rather than on the guitar). But do not leave, it is very well anyway!

    We can still set the microphone positions:
    - Trebble only with distortion, but it is the square! (Its too rough on the other two positions, quality mics?)
    - The three positions (rhythm = neck pickup, bridge pickup trebble, or two at the same time) to clean up a crunch (depending on the tastes of each, and the pieces ...)

    UTILIZATION

    Channel pleasant? YES, for me it is a "highway".

    Easy access to acute? NO, but it is a Les Paul, not specially adapted to the frenzied solos to the last frets.

    Ergonomics? The shape is superb (I love), the finish is very successful (no details wrinkle eye or hand to the touch). Of course, weight is important and it is true that one gets to have back pain after a while, but it's worth it! (See sounds)

    Do you get a good sound easy? All depends on what research, but for the big sound, this is where it happens! Led Zep fans, Paul Personne, asdèce and other metalheads of all kinds, you have been warned!

    SOUNDS

    I use this with a Les Paul Line 6 "Spider Jam", and believe me, it sends, but serious!! I played before (5 months ago on a marshall, the AC was good too).

    The sounds are perfect, as I said above, if you search for big sound and even the very big sound ... (Eg rhythmic Popa Chubby, ac / dc, Trust, etc ...)

    Its clean, it is also very nice (to try heads of ways, on your amp + ieurs mgsin preferred). With a slight delay + reverb, micro pos. Central, it is close to the sound of "Satch" intro song "Circles" or the last track on the album "Crystal Planet" of the same Satriani. (I forget the title !!!?).

    My favorite remains the course, the well saturated, fat, its where this guitar is made !!!!!

    OVERALL OPINION

    In conclusion, I use this guitar for 2 years now, and what I like +, you'll understand that it is made to sound loud and full.

    I once had an strato japanese has nothing, really nothing to do (these two types of guitars are not made to play the same style), and a label at (600 francs at the time) that n 'had the shape of guitar ...

    I think the quality / px good enough, we get something for nothing ...

    If I can give advice to our friends (es) beginners (es): If you are sure you want
    playing guitar (with a minimum of serious, given the investment: 500 euros 2 years ago), and what you want to request a scratch guitar that is not afraid of distorted sounds, it's a Les Paul you!

    In hindsight, it is clear that the choice I would do, I do the same earlier!

    However, I will still give me a strato (can be Mexican), or a telecaster
    to have a larger palette of sounds.

    "Gets it easy to sound good ?..." ? ah ben ca, yes! regalges good on the amp, and go!
    The charge, (we must put one!) Is access to acute. not very original, ok, but vridique! it beyond the 17th box, the solos, you forget. I still wonder how guys like Rhoads, Slash or stuck Frehley plans such as high ... Finally, brief ... voila.

    SOUNDS

    My style of music, it was more Led Zeppelin, Free, Rolling Stones, Aerosmith (well, almost everything has cheuveux long and a Les Paul) at the time of purchase about 3 years ago. This evolved into heavier stuff like Iron Maiden, WASP, Ratt, KISS, etc ... and has been very little follow-up. Pure tones to bluesy metal, it follows without fail. CMOP serious tone knob to zero, Slash mean to sound "November Rain". Micro Treble, a background tone, the "Phantom of the Opera" picks you up, mouahaha!

    Joking aside, we start from these two extremes, and we want what is between.
    Personally, I couple with a Peavey Classic 30, Vox and Satchurator (for a little more gain), and I can not understand why they say that the Les Paul does not rimeront with versatility. Finally, each his own ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for almost 3 years now. This was my first guitar, I knew nothing, and the simple fact that it looks exactly like water that has convinced me of Jimmy Page. What a look! this guitar has a sacred class. The look is superb and the sound too.

    I have made changes to this guitar by a luthier 250 euros, a sum that included two Seymour Duncan pickups, rewiring the jack, the knobs and a graphite nut.
    The guitar I own so I am back to 650 euros in the end. expensive? in absolute terms, yes, but a much lower cost than a Gibson anyway, and once epiphone change is a comparison without any problem.

    Yes, I would do this choice. and I would change the other too. and a custom, after. and a gold top. and ... well, ok, I calm down ^ ^

    - With 5 BASS, CONTOUR / 6 MIDDLE, TREBLE, 7, 9 OVERDRIVE, you get a sound mtal close to Metallica (even if the Les Paul does not excel in this field), then 4 BASS, CONTOUR / 8 MIDDLE, TREBLE 8, 7 and OVERDRIVE knob position pickup, it has a punk sound, sharp desire (for a, she is doing well trs)
    - I have a weakness for his sharp sound in the treble, the sound perfect for bold style Santana solos (but blah for the rhythm), clear sound impeccable, round, warm and prcis.

    Last day 23/03/2009:
    I have changed in recent months amp (a Line 6 Spider Valve 112 lamp), which replaced my Fender FM65R and did not see anything!
    The real grain of the guitar compltement spring. Since the amp mule several major brands, we can have a glimpse of all the possible sounds of the instrument. The old Fender Deluxe 50's, to Vox AC30 and Marshall, and ending on the Mesa Boogie, and it provides good! J'apprhendais dernire especially this brand for its incredible distortions, where it is necessary to ensure the microphones. No problem, even the drive back. So I add "can do aisment of Metal".

    OVERALL OPINION

    - I use it since March 2007
    - I like its shape, its versatility, but not worth a Gibson, even if it is close trs!
    - I bought it on the internet for the price lower than shop, but I have not tried other models before it was acquired.
    - Trs qualitprix good value, has made all of good quality stringed guitar legendary, drisoire price (409 for me ).... what more?

    The access to acute is (that is not a Les Paul Flying V nonplus) ca me but I completely agree!
    This is not the kind of guitar with which you will blow up in all directions, there should be a good band and if possible strap-lock (what I intend to soon buy site has a few near misses o_O?)
    In conclusion I say that is a very comfortable guitar to be that we should not be afraid of back pain after a few hours of play ^ ^

    SOUNDS

    Then frankly I have been surprised when I have received!

    "I had heard that the pickups Epiphone n 'was pretty bad and it was better to change faster, but the impression that I have had that is that they are microrespectable!
    It is on that are going on everywhere, but not own personality that is very convenient!
    I was among those who think we can do any style with n 'importequelle guitar so I do not deprive me: P
    Even if that is true, what a personality all its own that makes it better in blueus style, and rock and roll but I find it particularly versatile!
    I play hendrix, ac / dc, metallica, red hot, soad, clapton, muse, a bit of metal for fun and for m blueus' fun! You can really play at all! Just to have good stuff behind =)
    I plugged into a Hughes And Kettner Matric Combo 100w and I arrive to have a rich sound palette;) After it is sufficient to have the correct settings.
    And its clean! Wow: p

    OVERALL OPINION

    It's going to do almost a year since I have this wonder:


    And I can tell you I'm nothing on it (can be just the color, take java's most original but can be ca that is nothing!)

    What I like most about this itches? I would say his mouth = P Lespaul must admit that that is class! But all's well in this guitar, especially for the price! (Purchased € 400 on Thomann)

    What I like least?? The yellow knob not very aesthetic ^ ^ (I think soon to change)

    The quality / price ratio is really good I think! Throw away your on it if you like the myth Lespaul!!

    Ultimately I would metterai 9 / 10 because nothing is perfect, but it must be with Seymour 's approach it! ;)

    I use it since 2002 and I m never part, never had a problem with. Never make the repair (except for maintenance or adjust the harmonics)
