Despite the fact that I have acquired Epiphone Les Paul which was produced in China, which has developed a stereotype, it’s pretty – still not bad. It sounds in its price range to give odds to many other guitars analogues producing countries, of course, in the same price category. But let’s proceed.

City of Qingdao Located on a peninsula of Shandong, and is a major port, military base and industrial center. This is the only plant that produces Epiphone in Asia. The factory is dedicated to creating guitars Epiphone and only Epiphone, because this is achieved good control over the production of guitars. First meeting in 2006 I bought epiphone Les Paul Standard ebony ch in one of the few music stores in , giving him not a lot of not a few 16 000 rubles. At that time it was my second guitar, after Samick (1H +2 S). Electric Samick, had served me faithfully for 3,5 years, after which I happily sold it. And so, going to the music store, my gaze introduced a range of guitars of Ibanez and Squier. After listening to them all one by one, I have slightly disillusioned because sound data models I categorically did not suit. A little more ‘torment’ tools and vendors I am about to leave, when suddenly my eyes fell modestly in the corner hangs a guitar in black, this was the Epiphone Les Paul Standard. C a kind of disbelief, I picked it up, “run through” by Solyakov I was pleasantly surprised. Live sound, distinguishes this instrument from a variety of others. Epiphone gave a magnificent sustain, with its inherent Guitar Les Paul gentle sound. In generally good sound quality materials this tool does not leave me indifferent. The body and neck guitar body and neck made of mahogany (mahogany), a dense wood and very heavy. Gibson company in the manufacture of its extensive use of mahogany guitars. Sound mahogany characterized, above all, a sharp, explosive srednchastotnoy attack with a velvety touch. Yet it should be noted that the neck glued into the case. The fastening device neck provides good sustain, which I originally guided by buying a guitar. Tuners I can not mention one detail – the quality of the established guitar tuners Grover. Pegs with a very smooth running, without any deficiencies during the rotation, keep the system secure. Pickups Unfortunately, pickups are not up to satisfactory levels. However, it is difficult to blame the tool in this price category, which is already ‘squeezed’ out of themselves all that is possible. The only thing that I just could do with a family pickups (a type of soap box) – remove the cap, resulting in a more powerful, sharp sound Native Wiring Wiring is surprisingly very good external view and change 1.
