Best value: Excellent
Licensed copy Epiphone Les Paul Standard made in China.
22 frets, mahogany body, mahogany neck, flamed maple table, two volume, two tone ... two humbuckers epiphone Hood chrome, mechanical "grover" (I suspect it will act in Chinese copies), conventional fixed bridge Tune-O-Matic.

Characteristics in short well known, and that will be very well complemented by the Epiphone site.

The guitar is well built, the woods are beautiful and assembled goods.
At this level, it is the MECAS, quite unstable, and microphones, which are desperately short of fisheries and definition.

My copy has been much altered over time, but I reparlerais at the end of the review

UTILIZATION

The handle is really not bad, although a little uncomfortable in the long run when tasted good to Gibson. Access to acute is nothing original, limited because of the shape-single cutaway Les Paul.

The guitar is quite heavy, but still, if you insist that your instrument is light, go buy something else, you're wrong!

SOUNDS

I bought this guitar it well there's 5 years, I was a fan of Led Zeppelin, I absolutely had to. It can provide a beginner's first warm humbuckers sound carefree, and gives very good results if only one comes across a good number and one branch in a good amp.

The sound here is more fat and warm, dry lens. After a long time connected in a small 15 watt transistor combo obscure, I have used it with my Peavey Classic 30.

Wanting to improve their potential, I quickly changed the pickups for a pair of Seymour Duncan. Excellent initiative, because the violin is good. A very good solution to boost the instrument, plus the choice of weapons (Duncan, DiMarzio, EMG ...)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for good five years now, this is my first electric guitar.
I had not tried at the time, budget and the look did the rest.
I ended up putting a Duncan Alnico 2 Pro in acute and '59 the same brand as serious, which has improved the overall performance of the guitar, and that it is always a good place in my collection after all this time.

An instrument that I recommend for anyone who wants a share of the myth for cheap gibson. Excellent for beginners, and stay as long as you change at least the pickups. It will not replace a Gibson in my opinion but it is an honest instrument, well built ... a very good value for money. My notes concerning the production model.

I would do this choice in the same circumstances!
