Performance
This is a feisty little number. I tend to play a lot of punk/metal and by looking at it, it does look very metal, but once I saw it, I looked at the body and the sunburst effect is very attractive. I was astonished at the price. It plays just what I am into as well. I would recommend this axe to anyone.

Sound Quality
You tend to get a slight buzzing sound when you plug it in but besides that it works fine and is well worth the money. I play it through my Zoom Fire 30 amp which puts the guitar to any tone you like and its fine with all of them.

The thing about this Les Paul copy is that I never seem to put it down. It’s perfect for practice and I am thinking of adjusting it by putting some new pickups in to make it even better. Overall, nice body. A few problems with tuning and buzzing but you can’t complain. Nice little number.

This guitar brings me a lot of joy, it’s really confortable to play, it’s a wierd model by the way, and it does more than waht it promises, it’s a real pleasure to perform with this guitar on stage, it fits good, that’s all.

The clean sound is really good, and the effects I use (a distortion and a delay), sounds great. I was more used to perform with a strato, the effects sounded different. And the amp (a 20v) sounds cool, yeah.

I loved this guitar since the moment I saw it. I really trust in Epiphone, they seem to be really honest and make really cool guitars. That’s why I bought it. And because it is an used guitar, it has a really tiny scratches, but that doesn’t bother me, I love the colors.
