    I’ve owned this guitar for almost 2 years now and I absolutely love it. It plays great especially for the price. I would recommend this guitar to beginner and intermediate guitar players and even advanced players too. The only downside is that the action comes a little high but that can be easily adjusted. Overall I have no other complaints about this guitar. It’s amazing!!😁

    • @tuneintotj
      @tuneintotj Před 3 lety

      Hi Isaac! I ‘m with you man. I ‘m a brand new beginner (we’re talking a month) and I have it in translucent blue. Only
      thing is I don’t quite understand the coil taps yet. Would you mind explaining to me how I should use them? For example: if I want to play crunchy like ACDC as opposed to more bluesy strat sound. I would really appreciate it because I’m at the point where I ‘m starting to learn songs and I want to get the tone dialed in right. I ‘m also about to pick up a katana mini because we have a kiddo on the way. FYI, you’re right about the action. I couldn’t play a bar chord to save my life when I got it. Thankfully got a nice set up and its right as rain.
      Thanks!!

    Brilliant sound. Love the AC/DC. A brilliant demo.
    Unfortunately, these aren’t made anymore. I checked with Gibson/Epiphone and the last dispatches to the U.K. were made in June 2020.
    I don’t like the new range and have been looking for exactly this guitar for ages. Having searched the internet for what seems like forever, I have managed to purchase the last brand new Wine Red Plus Top Pro in the U.K. I ordered it 30 minutes ago, so I don’t have it yet and I just can’t wait for the delivery man to arrive in a couple of days.
    Then all I have to do is learn to play like Nico.

    • @PaulHere1953
      @PaulHere1953 Před 2 lety

      @Mark Seymour a week after mine arrived I found a very fine split at the headstock, which explained why I couldn't get it tuned.
      I did get a refund and bought an Epiphone DC Pro, which is fantastic. Still quite heavy, but much easier to play. I love the shape of the Les Paul, but the DC is so much more suited to me.
      Best of luck mate.

  • @einherjarblackmetaldoommet2922

    Great demo video! I was lucky to be able to buy a used one (a honey burst without a scratch) at a good price after it had gone out of production. I'm actually a bass player, but I use this for projects in my home studio (preferably black metal) with an another fantastic Epiphone product; the Thunderbird Vintage Pro 60's bass)), so the Les Paul is for mostly just set to humbuck in the bridge position), nevertheless, a very versatile guitar that can be used in all genres. I will never sell it, it's a keeper!

    Thanks for the demo - it makes to see that you can use the guitar fairly widely over different genres. To my ear it doesn't fully excel in any type, but does a really good job in almost every area.
    You even adapted your songs to the type of coils you were playing. Nice touch.
