MGR/Kanuck « Epiphone Les Paul »
Published on 02/06/02 at 15:00Purchased in Canada for ~C$600. Bought it in order to learn to play
This guitar has a great feel and look. The dual humbuckers give for a nice sound. I like that the output jack is not on the face of the guitar, but rather on the bottom edge. I also like that you can see the grain of the wood through the finish. From what I have read, and what I have been told, the guitar is made to Gibsons's specs, although some concessions are made from the actual Gibson, but the few concessions are easily outweighed by the difference in price. Trapezoid inlays look great.
Action seems high. Adjusted it many times, but fret buzz developed. One tuner seems to detune relatively easy. Are all electrics this heavy? When removing the stickers off the pickups they left this nasty guck on there, it took forever to get it off.
Overall very good, only complaint is the one tuner.
Good guitar for the dollar, but if you are a frail person, you may want to invest in a strap with a large helium balloon attached.
