Value For Money : Excellent
Sourced (it says derrire the head) and not China as I have read on some forums.
Humbucker pickups 22 frets jumbo.2 style Classic 57 '+ 1 Shadow NANOMAG instead of dernire freight.
Volume 3 + 1 Tone gnrale and back, a gain, treble and a bass for a NANOMAG.
2 output jacks: one for the Nano and a mix for 3 microphones.
Stereo output 2 if possde amplis.C is gnial in sound.
Rosewood handle Flat plutt Gibson 60's style.
Mahogany body openwork table Saddle loop beauty

UTILIZATION

The handle is nice, the frets do not hang well polished fingers.
Access in acute Les Paul style (is better).
Because the body pierced and less heavy, the guitar tends to bend the head.
The sound is good with the NANOMAG trs, trs velvety and treble are not screaming because of the positioning end (beginners?) Handle.
Microphones magntiques lack a bit of grain I have no got.Ils own personality.
The sound is good all the same but a change of microphones needed for my part, I think mount 490R and 498T pickups or amricains GFS "Retrotron" (price given on their website)

SOUNDS

That said, the guitar is playable trs, good ergonomics and a good finish trs.
I play on Kustom 72 Coupe 'and Kustom Sienna 65 is obtained and sounds good trs.
Especially with the Sienna NANOMAG Electroacoustic.

OVERALL OPINION

I for 1 week.
I love his look in Midnight Ebony.La table magnifique.L 'dor hardware brings a classy, ​​the back of the neck has a satin varnish trs soft.
Magntiques mics are a little weak especially the neck pickup is missing some graves.Ceci says it's a personal opinion can be influenced by the fact that I possde a Gibson Les Paul Studio, which she has a neck pickup (490R) of the fire god with low buzzing.
I possde a PRS Custom 24, a Fender Buddy Guy Sratocaster and a Gibson Les Paul Studio and when I saw the sale price of the Epi (589), I thought that this should not be the terrible stuff.
Well I am surprised by the enjoyable overall quality of this guitar.
Catalog Epiphone is provided a trs MODELS good finish (go see Les Paul Prophecy GX and EX).
The report qualitprix is ​​excellent as the dlocalisation what is good for us anyway because guitar 25 years ago for the price and taking into account inflation, it was a poorly painted wooden board adjusts approximately and ringing false in many cases (including j'me).
I do it again so this choice without hsiter (Prophecy GX can be?)
