Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus-Top Electric Guitar, Trans Amber Reviews
| 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful  Good axe for the price..., By This review is from: Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus-Top Electric Guitar, Trans Amber (Electronics) I've had one of these amber Les Pauls for several years now. Mine has Grover tuners on it, but it's the same axe. It's an excellent value- construction is very good and so is the fit and finish. Looks sharp too. Mine has cream binding and amber skirted knobs, although they are not vintage correct. I would recomend this axe to anyone looking a for a Les Paul style guitar. The crappy stock strings should be replaced right away with some decent ones- I use Ernie Ball Slinkys... I also replaced the stock pickups- they are muddy and un-focused. Inexperinced players may be quite satisfied with them. Warning: If you replace any parts you will void the warranty!!! That's okay. Just take it to a guitar shop and have them set the intonation on the guitar-that's kind of tricky to do yourself. Some good strings and you've got yourself a pretty good LP- better than the cheap ones all over the internet. It's not a Gibson, but it's not $3,ooo.oo either... 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful Delightfully Surprised by Sound and Weight, By This review is from: Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus-Top Electric Guitar, Trans Amber (Electronics) I bought this Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus recently and was really surprised by its sound and weight. Comparing it to my Les Paul Supreme and my Les Paul Florentine, I found it to weigh about the same as the Supreme, which is cored. The finish is very good, the figuring doesn't quite look like the picture (I bought a "honey burst" that showed about the same figuring. I'd give the figuring an "A" but not an "AA," but the figuring matched. The back is a finished mahogany and very nice, not a solid dark stain like an Les Paul Classic I once had, which weighed probably 8 lbs more.The sound was very good, not as "lively" as the Supreme or Florentine, but for $2,600.00 less, it shouldn't be. However, when cranked up, it was hardly distinguishable. The action was indistinguishable to me, but I'm a novice of sorts. If you are looking for a good LP sound at a very affordable price, I wouldn't hesitate getting this. Parents could even afford to give this to see... Read more Great guitar for price, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus-Top Electric Guitar, Trans Amber (Electronics) This was my first electric so I don't really have any point of reference. I bought it to play Rocksmith. The guitar arrived shipped in 2 boxes and appeared to be undamaged. However, when I took the pick guard off I discovered a tiny 1 cm flattened air bubble. It didn't bother me that much so I didn't return it. After playing for a couple weeks I discovered a tiny crack in the pickup. Again that didn't bother me that much but a few days later I discovered a tiny chip at the very edge of where the fretboard meets the body. What's going on with all these imperfections? Is that just expected for a guitar this price made in China? Maybe I'm just scrutinizing it too much? Other than all the cosmetic things, the guitar sounds great and it's the best guitar I've owned (I'm very much a novice and have a couple of cheap acoustics). The fret board feels great and is just the right size for my small hands. The weight is heavier than I expected but since I've never played electric before, I don't... Read more |
