UTILIZATION

Super nice handle - the guitar is very well balanced - it weighs its weight - no more.
Very nice surprise to unpacking the case - low action - no frizz
I do not see any flaws yet - varnish, everything is nickel frets.

SOUNDS

Sounds very good well-defined bass, crisp highs, great clarity, great sound and rock bass distortion that serious sending this guitar has a very good sustain surprising. -
Having owned a hagstrom suede (very good for that matter) Epiphone has more possibilities
frankly a great success

OVERALL OPINION

I just received it, bought on the net-Euroguitar first impression unpacking, it smells seriously and despite a slight apprehension as the blind purchased impossible to try in store I am very pleasantly surprised -
57 microphones are very good - the color AND ARE TABLE HCS beautiful - excellent sound
The value for money is unbeatable views of the features: With experience, YES I would do this choice - for € 499 delivered in two days at home would be difficult -
She begins to be difficult to find ... go for it

This is a guitar made in China.
It includes all the features of a classic LP: maple (very nice), mahogany body (I feel like I have 3 rooms + a room in the back that hides it), Slim Taper neck ( Users say that this is a long post, I have not checked yet, I'll update one), 2 pickups Gibson: 57 classic and 57 +, 2 volumes 2 tones (which are split), mechanical grooving, a case rigid and LockTone easel.

Overall for the price, it is well served. The violin is very clean, it sounds very good vacuum, but we will return.

However: electronics was very poorly done on mine. The neck pickup does not work, and the bridge was a feeble sound while a split time is hardly hear anything. Blame it on the welding done too quickly and with too little tin. I had a lovely sticker "quality controled" on mine, I wonder what they checked. So once unpacked, it took back all welds, and also adjust the height of the microphones: a real joy!
But the components are quality, all the knobs are CTS ...

Put it a low rating for hazardous finish. Hoping that mine was an exception!

UTILIZATION

The neck is thin is nice, smaller / flat on my SG Standard.
In weight is fairly standard for a LP, it does not break either the back, but you can feel it move.
Access to acute is relatively easy thanks to the cutaway, but not ideal because of the heel of the neck.
It is sold with 10-46, which is not bad, but I think pulling increase thereafter on a short scale is a little soft.
Once the above problems solved, so we get a good sound, just that you'd expect from a LP.

SOUNDS

I am a blues / rock / funk mainly, so it is perfect for that.
The split-microphones not press matters further plenty of possibilities but you lose enough output level (normal you might say).

I play a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe USA with a big muff is an blackstar DistX and it sends it's a bit like being asked.
I always preferred the sound of the neck pickup, but the others are perfectly usable.

OVERALL OPINION

I tried a lot of LP before you, I even sold one to buy (a MIJ), and I do not regret my choice.
I like: look, sound, playability, and accessories.
The value for money is excellent, but with experience I'll buy it in the store, just to try it before and do not have a nasty surprise in the opening (although it would have cost me 100 € more ...).

Good finish for the Tribute 60 more.
Equipped with gibson classic 57 pickups - c is the strength of this skyscraper.
Its quite a few vintage creamy, but not slamming lens. High E string too discéte.
Not too heavy, sustain correct
I find it less easy than the handle on a good Start, No varnish is ideal pa

I do not regret my purchase because the guitar is beautiful
The warm sound, the ability to split the humbuckers give a certain flexibility
Rather in the classic rock records, blue, texas, pop

UTILIZATION

Channel correct
Access to acute correct
Medium jumbo frets

SOUNDS

Gibson classic 57 pickups and 57 more
Pretty vintage, not too fat or too crystalline
But rather rich, rather typed medium. I am rather in the style rock 60 '70'
J also have a stratum. This Epiphone is very different, complementary

OVERALL OPINION

The value for money is OK: beautiful exterior finish, welds correct, good microphones
