Epiphone 1959 LP Standard Outfit ADCB

Chitara o folosesc doar in apartament.
Ca si plusuri electronica este foarte calitativa,dozele se aud foarte frumos iar vizual este foarte si ingrijita. Gatul este putin gros dar nu este o problema.
Ca si minusuri corzile sunt varza(dar am observat ca este o chestie generala si la instrumente mult mai scumpe) si actiunea este putin mare dar asta se poate regla foarte usor.
Daca as avea de ales intre aceasta si un Gibson entry level as alege Epiphone!
Livrarea ireprosabila ca de obicei deci multumesc foarte mult echipei Thomann!

This is one of the best epiphones out there. The finish, the shape of the neck, the new kalamazoo headstock and the electronics all come in together to give you a classic gisbon vibe for a fraction of the price. Altought the frets are a little bit rough at first, play it for 5-10 hours and the rough feeling goes away. The vintage style hard-case is just perfect, the locks and the case itself feel very sturdy. Overall a great expirence and a real top of the line Epiphone.

Pros:
-the electronics are phenomenal, you won't need to change the output jack/pots/3 way switch too soon, if at all
-gibson bursbucker 2&3 pickups give it the vintage sound, perfect for clean and a bit heavier stuff, they handle hard rock just fine
-great chunky neck shape, the neck doesn't have that high gloss stickiness to it, it feels very fast
-hard case

Cons:
-freets feel rough, unpolished
-the strings that came on it are garbage

Sad to give this guitar a 3 stars. Because believe me this is a pretty great guitar. Amazing neck, sustain, the laurel fretboard is pretty good too. The pups you know how they sound.
Unfortunatelly, I think I'm in a bad luck with this 59 series when we're talking about the tuners. The first one I got from Thomann all the 3 tuners on treble strings were poping and cracking pretty loud, it was clear that something inside wasn't working right.
So I did what Thomann said to me. Recorded a video showing the issue. Soon as possible they sent me all the papers to send the guitar back.. so I did.
Last week the new one came home. Amazing guitar even better than the first one. Better paintjob, better sustain! Good Lord I was so happy.. until today. The day I did the first restring.
To my surprise I've discovered that the tuning machine on the low E and on the B string have the same problem as those on the guitar I send back. But this time I'll just eat this issue because I don't want to deal with sending the guitar again. The guitar stays in tune pretty well.. but I know someday this machine will break on me. And it's a pain to hear this f crack when you change the strings.. it's in a particular position that isn't always accessible just in daily retuning. You gotta do bigger spins on the machine.

So as I said its sad to give this guitar such a "bad" rating because I really loved what Epiphone did everywhere else apart from the tuning machines. Probably I'm just with bad luck on that because I didn't heard about it online. This is a pretty good les paul, especially with those PAFs.. But keep in mind that you may also have problems like this. After all.. It's a good guitar from a poorly inspected manufacturer.
