All user reviews for the Epiphone Les Paul '56 Goldtop

Recently bought from a music shop in my local town, was casa amarilla ,I got it for a pack at £650 with a gig bag and 1 pack of strings, amplifier, cable, 3 . The guitar was manufactured in Nov 2001 so is pretty new.


This guitar makes some wonderful rich tones when played. It sounds great in either clean or overdrive. When you really rock it it sounds like a well tuned ferrari!. It is so easy to hold, being lighter than the standard Les Pauls and is a real dream to play.The fingerboard action and bridge set up make this guitar effortless to play, even for long rehearsals.

I love it.........

The construction is exelent all of this guitar is exelent and the quality is (a dream) hyper exelent its sound beautiful...

I've always wanted to own a Samick Les Paul and now I do. I'd recommend this guitar to anyone. I'm keeping mine forever!

Purchased at "Music Shoppe" in Harrison, oh.
Paid between $500.00 - $600.00.

I absolutely love the feel of the guitar, it
just "fits" you dig. Just the right amount
of heft, not too heavy. The body and the neck feel just right to me, the guitar begs to be played. I`ve really fallen in love with the epi-les paul.
The finish is, well, absolutely gorgous!!!
There are no flaws I can detect, smooth and
clean as a whistle. The semi-sparkle, gold
finish is a thing of beauty, vintage all
the way and then some!!! Make no mistake
the people who built this guitar were under
orders to do it right.
The neck-body joint is tight and clean,
no shortcuts here either. Actually this
special edition from Epiphone looks better
than many Gibsons I`ve seen and plays like
a dream.
Oh yes, it plays wonderfully, action is
great and the included P-100 pickups give
the player a great deal of range. You can
sing sweetly with the neck pickup with your
amp set clean, throw out the blues grind
by upping the gain and with my Marshall 50
watt amp set on overdrive I get all the
singing lead and roar most players could
ask for.
Of course that is only my opinion and real
high gain power cats might feel less than
fully armed. I just know this, with a good
amp this guitar sounds a lot like the best
of the guitar work from the "Allman Bros"
albums i grew up with and love, that is the
best complement I could give really.
Would i rather have the new "Gibson 56
Gold Top" reissue, Well of course, I mean
you`re talking on of the best guitars ever
built, but for $2,500.00 less you can`t go
wrong with the Epiphone.

There isn`t much I don`t like about this
guitar. I might put on a pair of the new
Seymour Duncan "virtual vintage" P-90`s
in favor of the stock pickups, but for the
price i have no complaints.

Like I said, this guitar is beautifuly built
. It is obvious the manufacturer went into
the thing intending to craft a quality
instrument.


All I can say is I`m as happy with this
purchase as any I have ever made, I`ve owned
several guitars, electric and acoustic,
Gibsons, Martins, Yamahas and fenders and
this little Epiphone goldtop is as much fun
to play as any of them.

22 frets
2 Gibson P90 pickups trs trs that work well and offer extras sound really.
Bridge licensed Gibson
Adjustments classic Les Paul tone 2 volume 2 (the settings are not super effective)
Channel collbr /> The finish is good enough for a guitar of this price

UTILIZATION

In Manir gnrale this guitar meets all respects and has a big sister manufactured by Gibson.
It is heavy with the CASC not acute gnial gnial trs but it sounds good.

SOUNDS

One can obtain a variety of sounds ranging from a good clear sound warm sound well suited to cutting large saturation and distortion.
The guitar is quite versatile.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for 4 years and I am glad trs. Having tried several of pulling strings, got it with my 11-52 it works best.

22 frets
2 Seymour Duncan P90 pickups instead of the original Epiphone pickups (more than potato).
ABR-1 bridge type
Adjustments classic Les Paul tones 2 volumes 2 and 3 switch positions
Set neck profile thin enough for a les paul 56
Beautiful golden finish

UTILIZATION

Very nice rosewood handle.
Access to treble is a bit limited (LP format requires).
At weight I can not find it heavy tes, I want a trouble-free repeats of 2 hours without harm.
I prefer the Les Paul that forms strato and TV, so my opinion is somewhat biased.
It is very versatile and if we take care to properly adjust it just to have a very good sound

SOUNDS

I mainly play blues and old rock, but I try to touch a little different styles.
I play on the marshall Souvant live or through a crybaby.
The sound is quite versatile. P90 mics sounds clear that both saturated. Its clear they permetent sonoritées of jazz and blues very pleasant. Saturation they spot the big rock.
The sonoritées of origin were not evil but the chorus rithmique, the microphone did not sound great acute, not to mention the background noise in saturation. I replaced the original pickups by Duncan P90 with more potato and less noise.

OVERALL OPINION

It was my first electric scraper, and I am very happy with my purchase. It's been a year and a half that I played with and it always made me happy. I think this is the best model of Epiphone Les Paul. I comparéavec other models and there is no comparison. Even with the lack of potato micro home, it sounds much better than a conventional or standard.
Meanwhile I was offered a Gibson, but my 56GT is listed. If it again, I repeat no doubt

22 frets
P90 Gibson pickups (not too many potatoes especially for micro severe)
ABR-1 bridge type
Adjustments classic Les Paul tone and 2 volume 2 slecteur a 3-position (the knobs are not effective trs)
Al Channel profile enough late
Dor beautiful finish and varnished dark red to the rear and underside of the handle ('56 Goldtop Limited Edition!)

UTILIZATION

Very enjoyable round
Access in a sharp limit some but not superhuman (like any Les paul just!)
personally trains paul is by far my prfr (mostly standing), if not in weight it is lighter than its big sister in Gibson so you can easily take 2 hours in good rept.
the rglages are not easy to find but with a little practice we quickly reach its pretty decent

SOUNDS

It is perfect for my style of music (pop-rock, hardrock ..) and I have friends who play blues and old rock, which take a lot of fun to play with.
I played with a Marshall Valvestate VS 100R j'obtient good and sounds, the original p90 are not exclent but are still good microphones, the better and change for an epiphone that sounds almost as well as a gibson
if home is very versatile you get to the clear sounds pretty hot and heavy sounds "fat" however, it dominates the rock genre of AC / DC Led Zep .. and deprouille nonplus not too bad in the punk rock or new age.
it should be noted however, that the original pickups produce a little noise when the selector is set to treble.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months, this is my second electric scratch and I think it's by far my home prfre epiphone les paul shape both in terms of his style and his sound e versatile (I try the custom I think better but the original pickups are really not exceptional)
I paid 480 euros and the price I have really good stuff if I repeat a c'tait n'siterais not the slightest second.

Manufactured in the United States-
-22 Frets
Two micro-gibson
Micro-selector 3 positions

UTILIZATION

The handle is not big Exess which allows good access trs has all the strings
however, reached the 17-18 freight it gets a little harder to play, but despite all that is playable enough.

ergonomics is one of the highlights of this guitar notament at its weight and balance of this one! this allows notament to play too upright without fatigubr />
and then there is the charm of this les paul ... a form that can only AIM indmodable for many years 10In

level sounds to me by I try avc micro epiphone rglage at the beginning and is far from being difficult you get a very sound Polivalente yet without having to tamper with 50 knobs! But the players can be more demanding thanks Certainties rglage get some small totu type sounds! a nice short guitar versatile ...

SOUNDS

Micro epiphone of origin are far from micro budget top ^ ^
you can play really all types of sounds without feeling a pain! even if it is true that when you push too saturated gain of a little they start to show their limits!
micro short that their prices are far from dcevant!

I am leaving for my change to micro gibson (you can find for 100 of OCCAZ lot on the internet) and the sound is really ... gibson and there is nothing wrong sounds a very versatile

OVERALL OPINION

For that price this guitar is well worth (400euros new) over the quality of violin making this guitar allows time you get tired of the sound to change just the microphone contairement a certain case or a replacement parfoi Guitar whole against another is necessary!

I bought mine at a price of 300euros and after some temsp jai aisment could change the micro depui and I never get tired more!

this guitar is for me a very good compromise for gen can not afford to buy a gibson because it is enough to change the micro (100euros) by Gibson to get a sound that is close to ready the trs gibson sounds

Nothing to add, that is a replica of the legendary Gibson Gold Top with P90 creams.
I am not sure that it makes the technique are states considering the price, but then what is on that is that that is the high-end home piphone ...

UTILIZATION

I even possessing a Gibson Deluxe Gold Top finish of 1977,
I found the handle very pleasant in a register "slow hand", the crunchy and well, the weight is cool (relative of mine who is an anvil). Say anything that is a copy of Les paul trs successful.

SOUNDS

Genre Rock / Pop / Ballad it will scratch to get by this, especially in rhythm.
The P90 proven live on a Mesa or a Marshall or a Fender tube screamer on one hop and the case is bent ... the sound is vintage (fortunately, for a re-edition of 1956)

OVERALL OPINION

I tried it for a friend who wanted to buy a guitar Premire (and he bought it)
I find the report qualitprix unbeatable (500). An excellent guitar, which I think is much better than the Gibson Les Paul for entry-level ... and when we know that Paul is the first Gibson in 1000, that is everything. In short, a smart purchase for a first guitar to rhythm guitar vintage well.
Shame I'm playing with guitars that are worth three times as much but that does not sound mieux.Un good deal and it is more beautiful

It's made in Korea (note this is not made in china ...). The violin is bluffing, the handle extremely pleasant, the beautiful accajou short, what a pleasure! are probably even more beautiful but it is a lot. The seller of the shop where I bought it was also in awe of the quality.

I put him ten out of ten because for that price, it's perfect (the same model in Gibson's € 2500 I think)

For all that is technical and hardware everything is already said.

UTILIZATION

Must love the neck profile 56. I love me !!!!!! is rather thick and large. For me that long fingers and the end it does not bother me too much.
The first thing I do when I test a skyscraper, it ran my hand along the handle and I know if it will live to please me or not. I'm not really the type vistuose but I am against a real passion. My life began with my first guitar (I exaggerate a bit anyway ...!)

In terms of access to acute, so ... it's a lespaul anyway I rarely plays in the acute

It is rather light compared to his twin Gibsonian and in terms of ease, or the fact that it's not. For me, the fact that serious

SOUNDS

I play all really but I choose this scratch especially for P90 because I was looking for a rather typed his 70's. On this side I served, I played on a valve junior head cab with 12 "of my manufacturing. It is a real treat in this register. I made mostly with Led Zep.

I have quite a good effect too but I use them because it is not my goal. I use only the saturation of the lamps in my head for sounds creamy.

I do not know anything about the P90 and I'm not disappointed. It's clear but warm. I think it's an ideal compromise between the single and double, but no less essential. I have no basis for comparison in my opinion while P90 is not very important, I find the pickups rather nice.

OVERALL OPINION

I have a Start in electric japanese standard of 93, and a customized Lespaul EKO rise Dimarzio. Since I have this epiphone (2 months), I do not play it virtually.

I is for now no complaints apart may be the lack of bite and personality microphones. But as I said before, I never played before so my opinion on P90 does not mean much.

It's simple, I wanted to party for a Gibson SG Classic, and then I had a favorite, I was seduced by the look and quality of all expeptionnel.

The value for money is fantastic, it cost 399 and I got to 360 with a volume knob that is broken. On average, they rated € 500.

The next scratch will definitely be a Epiphone. I had a SG Gibson ENVIS, I will first look at the catalog Epiphone!

Hello,

I see that we are not likely to have the hands on the model I own. Indeed my luthier told me that the incumbent Les Paul '56 Gold Top Reissue comes in two models (manufactured and assembled in Korea):

- The limited edition model standard that is an honest reproduction of the original (everyone seems to enjoy it for that matter)
- Publishing limited edition "advanced" we say (do not rely on the words "limited edition" which is on both models)
The second version, limited edition / limited could be said, has slightly different components ie mechanical vintage "tulip" type (which I changed because the oil bath is still more reliable even So unless vintage), two P90 pickups Gibson, wiring and other Gibson also.

I did not know all this until I wear to my favorite luthier.

(Small digression: At this point I'm trying to make a little story with him so I put the video of "osculation" as soon as possible)

So in the dismantling we found that the various elements mentioned above were not "standard". My luthier friend is adamant it is a Gibson (the brand before, one that was not making fun of his clients) he had the hands ... but made from Epiphone, which according to him is a pleasant surprise. I'll spare you for now the painful truths he told me about Gibson and his new political commercial ultra etc ...

Be aware - Get Out Your Handkerchiefs - signatures that apart from the models (and again) and other "custom shop", everything is manufactured and assembled in China (yay). Only the opening and finishing touches are made to US ...

Basically Epiphone is now a much more reliable reference that Gibson (I speak of the process ... though you will see in the video that may have sacred surprises by removing a Gibson Les Paul is saying).

Anyway, back to our topic and start, the fact is that this '56 Les Paul Gold Top reissue is a marvel. I acquired in 2003 and is the instrument on which I play most often (besides my Simon & Patrick, but there is something else, it's a folk).

UTILIZATION

The neck is wider and thicker than most Les Paul but it suits me perfectly (great hands, fingers long and thin).

Cake on the icing, the model in my possession is very well insulated from both sides: graphite into the space where the knob 'ceramics (two rounds) at the jack, etc ...

I have tried this guitar on several amps and it's an old Vox tube which made it better (in my ears of course). However, the '56 Les Paul Gold Top reissue sounds about anything and everything, she loves the little amp: put everything you have to block and sound very similar to the Telecaster master page on the first Led Zeppelin.

Its weight is quite acceptable, it can be better balanced (game sitting position so) a Les Paul standard.

Access to treble is good against it by not suit those who wander in the last box too often.

SOUNDS

Once properly adjusted the instrument will give you everything, you'll have a little whip (yes it's not a Gibson Les Paul with his already calibrated) but what a pleasure once tamed!

Setting the microphone is all the more important that there is a small difference in level between the two P90, the next round being more "nasty". Once the height of the pickups adjusted well (do not forget the screws to avoid losing in the bends) there is no more than to do good by going to put your fingers on the handle.

This instrument is particularly good in some natural saturation "grimey", pushing the volume of sound you get to close to those of James Gurley on "Ball & Chain" (Janis Joplin / Cheap Thrills): a real treat.

OVERALL OPINION

In conclusion I would say that this instrument requires special attention because of its very well made: setting the handle once a year + little care (lemon oil is what the handle likes best).

This will make five years ago this summer that I have and I never tire of it, on the contrary!

I will not deny that in this guitar, I'm in love.
friendly,
Dominique

ps: I forgot the price / quality ratio, and although I've never seen (apart from Simon & Patrick) such care at all levels to such a low price!

Made in China (numrote) for descriptions read:
http://www.epiphone.com/default.asp?ProductID=50&CollectionID=6

Up to me with ropes 0.9-> 042 I directly put the 0.10-> 046 as a weakling was a bit clumsy compared to the ct of this guitar.

UTILIZATION

The neck is thick and trs for me requires a time of acclimatization. In my opinion does not virtuosic feats ...

Access in acute is correct (this is not an Ibanez said).

Ergonomics is good but the guitar is heavy (it's really the kind Gibson). The guitar does not sound very non trs branch.

The mcaniques are prcises.

SOUNDS

It seems made to sound somewhat saturated (that is the nature that feels good) and I use it for blues and rock.

I use it on devices like (POD XT, V-Amp 2 guitar and other plugins) as part of my Home Studio. Trs it sounds good but I will upgrade two P-90 micro Gibson home. It seems that it's even better ... For now the sounds are warm and the sustain is good trs.

The knobs are effective and allow beautiful shades (especially in position intermdiaire), mechanical prcises ... well ... a good guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two weeks. Trs is similar to Gibson (I possd a Les Paul and ES 335). I think the finish is perfect and the look is super cool.

Conclusion: For those who want to get closer to Gibson's three gnrations without going into debt is a great alternative. At present no regrets! To be continued with the upgrade of micro ...

Epiphone Les Paul, a copy of the legendary Gibson Les Paul Premire 56, Goldtop color as the original ^ ^

* Guitar made in Korea, and not at all in the U.S. (RVer should not either!)
* 2 P90 pickups Epiphone (Gibson and not, as said prcdmment!)
Bridge type * Tune-o-matic ultra classic
* 2 volume buttons (1 per micro lol) and 2 Tone (same thing) + a slecteur 3 positions
* A white pickguard crme the most beautiful effect ^ ^ Vintage
* Grover Mcaniques oil bath (not with tulips as in the photo of Audiofanzine ^ ^)

I put 9 because all there is to the ultra classic, robust, and because in this finish, it is super nice!

UTILIZATION

* The handle is a bit Drout when you come from an Ibanez like me (with handle highway ^ ^), but my registry is just the rhythm (so I do not solo ultrasonic death .. . or even solos at all, for that matter) be a trs well is not a trick bcheron what! It is comfortable enough rvle once the habit!

* Access in acute uh ... does not pose a particular problem, even if sr it will always be less simple than a Start.

* In terms of form, if it became a standard in the world of electric guitar is not for nothing! It's enjoyable and it does not have a ton as PSE's most exclusive Gibson counterparts.

* Note that even when PSE weight ^ ^

* To get a good sound, and it plugs directly hop sounds any fawn can not tamper with 40 buttons and other push / pull is very simple and effective.

I put 8 because it is a guitar particulire we like it or not, it is trs type blues / rock / vintage all points of view, but if you like, it is r gal!

SOUNDS

* Then the sound: The P90 pickups, even the original ones are really good pickups! They were not dead on! They are hot trs, for example clean sounds a little bluesy or with a lightweight crunch: CA GIVES!

I use the neck pickup almost exclusively, for the riffs of all kinds (from things a little blues to hard rock ^ ^) but that sounds so ... I do not know if I am well particulirement tomb with this the micro but really I do never change!

on the other hand I plan to change the bridge pickup for a P90 sr always, in Gibson or Seymour Duncan, I do not know yet because it is a little less intrssant, it has less potato and it is sometimes rough. J'diterai me when it's done.

The position is intermdiaire intrssante for clean sounds, a password impeccable! A little less crunch / saturation.

* The gear used: I play a Laney TF 100 transistors, which is not bad at all, and so far I have only one effect: a distortion Digitech Hot Head.

If you put too much gain, microphones and sound drool becomes less prcis basically not playing the mtal above, this is clearly not its register (it would have suspected).
on the other hand, as dj said, crunch and lgre saturation, or grunge stuff, the she excels! And I'm not sure that there is a diffrence with a standard Gibson, the same team twice but microphones CHRE!

I think she should do well in jazz, but I do not practice this style of music (I'm not strong enough and subtle for a ^ ^) so I can not tell you.

I put 9 because it really is this style of sound I was looking for, the balance between the pickups simple "Fender-inks" type stratum or tl (a little too cold I got), and the big sounds of a humbucker (sometimes not suited to softer stuff). A test, if you do not know these microphones.

OVERALL OPINION

* I use this guitar for about 6 months, for now only in my room or some beuffs with friends ^ ^

* I frankly all! Whether the look gnral, finishing caring, warm sound and the ... Price: I got 300 euros used, but new on the net, you can find around 500 euros. For beginners like me, it's a great investment and a pro, will make a good deuxime trs guitar, so we do not want to ruin. It connate prices MODELS "Vintage" Gibson from home ... : S

* Report qualitprix really tip top, but better when the same test because it's not a guitar to play styles too extreme. And in terms of look, just to love

* With the exprience I will test even when a Gibson with P90 (Special Faded an example), then the one to see if there is a diffrence standard. Honntement but I doubt it.

Aa t as said before me, a smart buy because it is the high-end home Epiphone and it's not a guitar you see everyday!
A guitar that can s'avrer trs complmentaire classic Stratocaster or Tlcaster usual.

The Epiphone Les Paul Classic is one of the more popular guitars that Epiphone has in their lineup. The guitar features a mahogany body with a mahogany neck, chrome hardware, 24.75'' scale length, carved maple top, optional pickguard, rosewood fretboard, 22 frets, trapezoid inlays, tune-o-matic bridge, binding, two humbuckers, two volumes, two tones and a three way switch.

UTILIZATION

The guitar itself is put together decently. You can tell it's one of the lower models because of some fretwork issues. For one, the frets weren't perfectly level. You could tell this once you start lowering the action. It wasn't bad, but there were some frets that wouldn't perfectly ring a note because they were low. The ends themselves weren't too bad on this one. The nut needed to be recut, however. It would cause some tuning issues, and this was particularly noticeable once you start bending. You could hear a slight ping every time you tuned up, so it's obvious it was binding. A new nut should fix that issue, but again, these are fairly standard problems on these guitars.

SOUNDS

The pickups in this are pretty bland, I've found. The bridge itself is muddy and undefined. It has some bite to it, but I find it's not enough to help cut through the mix for what I'm looking for. The neck pickup is decent, but I find that it's not thick and smooth enough for me. I like super powerful and thick sounding neck pickups, and the only way I could get that tone was by rolling down the tone knob. Even then, it wasn't the same. The clean tones were half way decent on the neck pickup, but they sounded pretty bad on the bridge.

OVERALL OPINION

If you're going to get one of these, be sure to play through a bunch to find one that is setup nicely. These tend to have issues with fretwork and nuts, so pay close attention to those. Once you get one you like, spend some money and invest in some nice sounding pickups for it. That'll make it rival any Gibson out there.

Made in Korea in 2004. Channel '56 type, very easy to take control. 22 frets 2 p90 pickups Epiphone cream. 2 volume knobs, 2 tone knobs. A cream pickguard. Grover oil bath. On mine, the previous posseusseur the skyscraper was replaced by the electronic Epiphone Gibson <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="" /> .

UTILIZATION

The handle: oh yes, love. I prefer it than my Tele Classic Player 50's and that of my Epiphone LP Standard. She weighs ... bah like all LP. Access to acute: not insurmountable, but not easy ... Like all the LP what. Anyway, this is not a skyscraper made to shred. Getting a "good sound" if it means the rhythm Guns, AC / DC, The Strokes, yes (in addition, the sound is clear on these magnificent p90). If it's for Satriani, no.

SOUNDS

So yes, this guitar suits my sound (bin yes, we do not choose the first skyscraper to come play anything and everything, we try to think a bit before anyway ...): Strokes, AC / DC the light crunch to overdrive testostéronée or of Guns in a little more modern. I play on an amp Blackstar 5W lights, only at home. [small update on the mic] Epiphone is best known for being the sub-brand of Gibson who made copies of its illustrious big brothers. Epiphone but is also known for making microphones, say ... pourraves. But here, leave your preconceptions: it's really impressive! The bridge pickup is very focused towards the lack of bass and treble. But it lacks most fishing is its main shortcoming. In addition, it is somewhat messy, so as to avoid its clear I think. However it does not "messy" as not being up a little overdrive: it's a good point. The really good surprise is the neck pickup: what potato! Which side creamy, but slimy super clean at the same time! Very well balanced between bass and treble, with just the right amount of mids (but no power to make pop either), it is a treat, both in its clear, in light crunch and that 'into overdrive (it stays clean). The sustain is also generally good on this guitar, better than my Epiphone LP Standard, yet equipped with Seymour Duncan humbuckers: like what, the pickups are not all in the sound, there is also the violin! I rank this guitar over the Epiphone LP Standard. I put 9 / 10 and not 10 because the bridge pickup.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 days. But I had made my mind since long. I had tried elsewhere, and compared to a vintage, equipped with microphones Wilkinson: These microphones were shrill and unbearable in its clear, at least on an Orange Tiny Terror. Purchased for 250 € a guy who wants to spend on a Gibson 1956 Goldtop LP, frankly I do not regret it! Well, yes, he did a lot of pets over, although he had wrecked. I just wanted to try the Gibson, just to see (I dare not say for comparison) and an increase in P77 Custom77 CS3. But here I think the Epiphone is the comparison. Frankly, the best surprises are the quality of the violin and the neck pickup, creamy and accurate at the time. The violin is, I think I see maybe mount a real Gibson or Seymour Duncan p90 for potato and good definition bridge, I would not have done if the violin was of average quality. Especially since I have the electronic Gibson inside "now in this guitar. Frankly, I do not understand why Epiphone has stopped production: the skyscraper fell sharply the level of their offers in Les Paul. Or it could be because she was too beautiful for Epiphone, or too close to her big sister? Go figure ...

EDIT 4 months later (03/18/2010): After mounting a pair of Seymour Duncan Antiquity p90, this skyscraper has become a killing! My luthier I almost wanted to buy it for the gameplay of its handle, and sustain his couple of micro grain ... if p90! If crunch, a bit angry with their output level. NB: the shape of the table which makes the neck pickup will appear ever more punchy than the bridge pickup on this guitar, because it is necessarily closer bcp ropes that the bridge pickup. My luthier had unduly raise the bridge pickup to be a balance.

manufacturing china impeccable
I have already received much less over Chinese
impeccable finish this one


UTILIZATION

gibson type neck between 50 and 60 that is to say not very big
but rather drawing on the profile 60
access les paul classic
reasonable weight


SOUNDS

the sound is clear like a hair stratovolcano which is not to displease me
I play the guitar repertoire with Beatles and why it is perfect
and also plays rock with
the sounds are very clean but saturated fatty qq well even with a significant difference compared to a humbucker but you get done quickly
and there was this guitar in hand in the next 5 minutes
Gallien Krueger c'es with perfect

anecdote for the solo of Another Brick In A Wall by Pink Floyd has been done not with a strato but with a guitar mounted in p90 like this one!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 weeks and it's very very nice to play well
unbeatable value for money
has retained a skyscraper
has been the fact that it says epiphone we believe a gibson and I weigh my words

purchased by nostalgia because I had a gold top gibson before ...
I am delighted with my purchase
