Made in a communist country so China or Korea well I do not know
22 frets, 2 humbuckers pickups epiphone open coil, Tune-O-Matic
two knobs: volume (for the two microphones) and tone (both well)
Channel quite late, I finally found

UTILIZATION

A handle VERY nice, if you want to make the slide block 12 to one without giving it more difficult than buying a caramel, it is for you.

Then the weight, well it is a Sg so it is very light, also correct me if I'm wrong but it looks to me to be the lightest Epiphone? In terms of form, well this is also an SG so we love it we love, there's no choice! sg on the other hand like any self-respecting it pitches down so do not let go too long ^ ^

Do you get a good sound? well everything is relative: If your friend has a Gibson, get your handkerchiefs but if he has a Chinese poor quality, then you will have the upper hand by far with this guitar violin

SOUNDS

Perfect for me although I think to buy a Epiphone Les Paul Standard. I play mainly punk and metalhardcore (but I've seen people playing pop and jazz on it without problem).

I plugged into a Peavey amp 80 watts through a small Ultra Distortion pedal and I have two choices, either get her a pig who pukes dark and heavy riffs and solos that burst in the Beastie Boys (micro neck ) is a well cold would grind to a happy drunk and punk that leaves a little feedback if you set the tone above 8 (micro bridge).

This gives her an easy to nag Madball but lowering the distortion I get out of the ACDC without porblèmes. The punk stuff out very well also

OVERALL OPINION

I have for almost a year, this is my first guitar.
I especially like their comfort, we have it jumps around so you feel comfortable! on the other hand I suppose it would change the pickups to navigate in the sound.

Frankly if you do not have much money you buy this one rather than under communist shit reeks of shoddy work ... this one sounds really pretty and has a really low price for a guitar!

This is a very good guitar for beginners and start playing in groups and when I hear it is rather moving towards a Squier start strato when I find it silly PAREC someone who loves and Sg Les Paul has always had a little trouble playing on strato: it's too different and it seems to go to the enemy too! ^ ^
