Good Les Paul

Andre Pomb 24.07.2025

So I have never had or played a Gibson Les Paul, therefore won't delve into any comparison.

Probably the most interesting part about this guitar are the Gibson pick ups, and let me tell you, they sound great. Classic hum buckers, warm clean sounds and powerful in overdrive. Had another Epiphone Les Paul and the pick ups difference is quite noticeable.

About the rest of the guitar, the build quality is decent, but the fretboard was REALLY rough and in need of a complete polish, most likely due to all being done with machinery at factory. I doubt epiphone performed any type of setup at factory besides any standard QA as the intonation was not on point (Required some bridge adjustments).

I think Epiphone could charge a bit extra (maybe 30-50eur) for this china models and make sure there was minimal setup at factory, specially in terms of fret polishing and fretboard wood treatment. It would make a really big difference.

The case is cool, the guitar looks good and the remaining parts of the build looked decent. The next thing I am going to do is to replace the plastic nut for a bone nut, and I mean, putting plastic nuts on guitars >1000eur (or near that mark) is kinda sad.

Also I immediately changed the strings (it comes with some Gibson 010) but that is a matter of personal preference. Now trying out the D'Addario XS 010 and liking it! (mostly I use Elixir Optiwebs, but someone recommended to try the Addarios).

In a nutshell, you are buying a good guitar, the "black beauty" looks are to die for and with some setup/work without massive investment this instrument is outstanding.

PS: I play mostly blues and metal and this guitar sounds great in those. Highlight for that bridge pickup, who likes to crunch!

Quand Gibson s'identifie en Epiphone

Lamachette 06.11.2024

La blackbeauty... Des années que j'en voulais une, mais en dessous de 2000 euros et en très bon état, c'est mission impossible. Puis la voici. Lutherie top, micro identiques aux vrais (ayant des Gibson) mais pour être honnête, le plus impressionnant est son sustain dû à son manche en 1 morceau. Elle est très agréable à jouer. Ça change beaucoup au son. Et puis, elle est magnifique, je ne lui ai pas encore trouvé de défaut après des mois d'utilisation. Les nacres sont superbes. Une affaire, et j'en suis tjs surpris ! Tout comme la vraie finalement, sauf le prix, pour une fois qu'on se sent gagnant dans l'histoire. Foncez Messieurs, n'écoutez pas Mesdames

Klasse Upgrade zur günstigeren Version

Adrn 25.04.2025

Ich war bereits stolzer Besitzer der Vorgängerversion (mit altem Headstock) und war damals schon geflashed. Aber dieses Upgrade ist nochmal deutlich spürbar. Die Pick-Ups bringen mehr Druck und Klarheit und die Verarbeitung wurde nochmal verbessert.

Klare Kaufempfehlung meinerseits.

Epiphone no es Gibson

M . A 10.02.2026

Compré esta guitarra por curiosidad, a pesar de tener ya Epiphone Custom del 2020 IBG, con la cual estoy más que encantado (la modifiqué entera y es una maravilla). Cuesta casi el doble que la anterior, y sinceramente, no merece la pena el cambio. Trastes mal terminados, "descuelgues" de pintura, tanto en la parte frontal, como en la posterior. La tapa del selector de pastillas estaba mal puesta, con los agujeros mal hechos y una de ellos reventado, un poste del cordal ligeramente levantado y fuera de su sitio. En fin, como he dicho, para mí no merece la pena en absoluto. El hardware sigue siendo el mismo (cordal y puente) que una Epiphone de gama baja o media. Pala más bonita e inlays de madreperla. Nada más. Mi consejo, si tienes la versión anterior, no la cambies.
