    Epiphone Les Paul StudioPublished on 11/24/07 at 03:31
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    Guitar factory in China. The violin and finish are irrprochables (confirmed by a local luthier talent).
    22 frets - 2 Epiphone humbuckers brand (that is described in the pickups).
    Easel low-end but decent. Tune o 'matic low end of poor quality (change).
    Slecteur micro three positions. Rglages spars volume and tone of each pickup. Channel width (42mm at nut)

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is gnial, acute at the CHAC is very easy (better than a half-case). It is cumbersome at best. The balance is held, making it easy to play while standing. The sound is OK but lacks finesse and gives the impression of a bandwidth limit (I also possde a Gretsch 6120 with 2 TV Jones pickups and these ar…

The sound is OK but lacks finesse and gives the impression of a bandwidth limit (I also possde a Gretsch 6120 with 2 TV Jones pickups and these are so fantastic that becomes difficult ... ).

    SOUNDS

    It is suitable for plutt style blues with her a little fat. My amp is a Fender Blues Deville lamps. It is better to use it with a box effects, sound effects free, pure and simple, is not that great

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have this guitar for six months. I did change the saddle for a wider and graphite, and the tune o 'matic by a luthier, who I was RULES at the same time. I changed my same two microphones for a Kit Seymour Duncan vintage blues and any COD (picguard and co) dco for black (the guitar is red). With these changes you do not play more of a cheap Epiphone but on a Gibson. Gibson as the major problem currently facing finishes, according to the makers it is better to invest in an Epiphone, much better finished, even make some changes. This guitar gniale me back 500 euros, including luthier.

    Stripped down Epiphone Les Paul

    Epiphone Les Paul StudioPublished on 08/11/11 at 12:32
    The Les Paul Studio is a stripped down version of the Les Paul standard. It has no binding and simple inlays to lower the cost and make it more of a workhorse guitar. Now you can get it in the form of an Epiphone for even less. This guitar is pretty barebones. It has a mahogany body and a mahogany set neck. It has a rosewood fretboard with simple dot inlays. It has uncovered Epiphone humbuckers with the standard Les Paul control layout. The tuners are Grover tuners and the bridge is a standard tune-o-matic.

    UTILIZATION

    This guitar feels its price which is not that good. With these lower end Epiphones you really should try out the guitar before you buy it. When lower quality guitars…

It has uncovered Epiphone humbuckers with the standard Les Paul control layout. The tuners are Grover tuners and the bridge is a standard tune-o-matic.

    UTILIZATION

    This guitar feels its price which is not that good. With these lower end Epiphones you really should try out the guitar before you buy it. When lower quality guitars like these come from the other side of the globe the temperature changes en route can really mess up the factory setups. The wood and metal expanding and contracting can cause unlevel frets and sharp fret ends. This isnt help by the fact that since this is a studio model there is nothing to protect you from the end of the frets.

    SOUNDS

    These guitars are pretty low end. For a beginner the tone may be alright but if you are an experianced player it is lacking. The pickups are muddy and harsh and do not provide a good sound. The pickups have a bit of an open sound. If you are playing loose classic rock or something like that they may give you usable tone. The neck pickup has a lot of low end to the tone and it can get a bit muddy at times. The bridge pickup also has a lot of low end. It has a loose sound and even the bridge position can get muddy at times. The pickups lack output and clarity and even budget aftermarket pickups will be a large improvement in this guitar.

    OVERALL OPINION

    There are a lot better guitars to be had for the price of this guitar. You can get a used Agile or even a new lower end Agile for the price of this and the quality fit and finish will be a ton better. And if this is your first guitar I would not recommend a Les Paul as a first guitar. For a first guitar you want something that is a bit easier to play. With a guitar like this you are going to have a hard time getting a good action on it and the fret access is not very good. Ideally I would recommend someone start on a hard tail super strat style guitar.

    I prefer the Gibson version

    Epiphone Les Paul StudioPublished on 06/22/11 at 23:42
    The Epiphone Les Paul Studio is the low end, budget model of the budget model. I'm not really sure why they decided to make this considering how cheap the regular Gibson models go for. The guitar has a mahogany body, it has a mahogany set neck, a rosewood fretboard with 22 frets, a tune-o-matic bridge for tuning stability and tone, two humbuckers, two volumes, two tone knobs and a three way switch.

    UTILIZATION

    The fretwork on this guitar wasn't that great. There were some sharp edges, and the frets weren't perfectly leveled. The nut also wasn't cut properly because every time you'd bend, you could hear a noticeable ping. That means that the string is binding in the slot. Both…

    UTILIZATION

    The fretwork on this guitar wasn't that great. There were some sharp edges, and the frets weren't perfectly leveled. The nut also wasn't cut properly because every time you'd bend, you could hear a noticeable ping. That means that the string is binding in the slot. Both of these issues are fairly common on the lower end Epiphones, so be sure to watch out for that. The fret access is the same as any other Les Paul style guitar out there in that it's pretty poor. Reading those higher frets can be a bit of a pain.

    SOUNDS

    The guitar itself was kinda dead sounding. There were other Epiphones I played that were much more resonant and lively sounding. The pickups were also pretty poor sounding. They were very muddy and undefined. What made matters worse is that the neck pickup was bright. I hate bright neck pickups, and this thing just didn't deliver in terms of the tone I was looking for. I'm not sure if it was the combination of woods in conjunction with the pickup or what, but it just didn't jive for me.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I wasn't a fan of this guitar as the fretwork was pretty poor, the nut was cut bad and it didn't seem to resonate that nicely. That said, the guitar is pretty cheap, and it's basically pennies if you're buying one used. They can be great beater guitars if you're into that sort of thing, but I'd rather get a Burny instead.
