Well, I'll do a review of espce dtail, even be too long and boring, and repeating what has t crit before.
Epi Les Paul flame top standard in 1993 (among Premire, I think) made in Korea. Purchased new.
Body into three parts mahogany (mahogany and alder today) that most of the center (nice surprise). No mahogany Premire of quality but not srement wood crate. Well, instead dun Schager in several years, he has Scher ltuve
And finally, micro sheet drable flame on the table, just for the visual. No te vritable table (!) In Rabl (!).
>>>> 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.
