I manages to fix the tuning issues with new locking tuners, yay! Full install method video here: https://youtu.be/1CRPjlj4BEo
Could you (or anyone) confirm these are typical LP 24.75in scale length? Thanks
So many great affordable guitars available these days. Why would anyone spend 10 or 20 times the price for a big name?
I had purple one L loved that guitar but due to my bad back problems I had to sell it but it was lovely sounding guitar and I miss it
I would rewire it with good quality pots and caps 50's style
Gorgeous top on that!
The Spanish scarf joint is substantially superior to both the 3rd fret scarf and the Gibson, short grain bandsaw angle.
Surprisingly they did a much cleaner job in those cavities than the brand new 2022 Epiphone Les Paul Custom I bought. A thousand times cleaner ????
I got one like this but a different color about a year ago and I love it. I would love to have an actual Gibson Les Paul but they are way too expensive. If I was a professional musician I would consider one, but for me, this was perfect! Mine was almost perfect right out of the box. I did not even change the strings! No sharp frets, fret buzz, flaws in the finish, etc. I did do some setup on it, at least what I know how to do, but from what I understand, that should be done with all guitars, even the ones that cost several thousand dollars. Mine also sounds great. I love the thicker, richer Les Paul sound. I am a "couch guitarist" and I am super happy with mine!
I just bought one of these and I'm happy with it except for a bit of fret buzz on the open low E string. Is there an easy fix for this, or should I return it? I was thinking of just changing the nut
It looks like an LP, but it doesn't sound like one at all. Not even close.
There's a lot of Epiphone and Squire killers out there
It's so confusing to buy guitars lately. It's hard to tell which is the bang for the buck.
How much did it cost?
OPEN UP THE PICK UP AND CHECK IF THEY ARE TRULY ARE HUMBUCKERS ONE YOUTUBE DID AND THEY WAS NOT HUMBUCKER BUT SINGLE
what size tuners are used? i dont want to get the wrong size on amazon
What happened to fret 11 i think it was, it doesn't reach the end of the binding it was cut too short. I'm surprised you didn't mention that, for me i would have sent it back
Did you measure the radius of the fingerboard?
got a gold top one….agree with the picup assessment …they are good…i am impressed with the stability of bridge …it does not lean forward as some low end copies do…..fretless wonder
