Epiphone Les Paul Standard 50`s MG

Got this guitar today and the overall quality for the price is great.

The aesthetic is awesome, the electronics don't need any upgrades and the pickups are a matter of taste. This is a good replica of a PAF type of pickup, maybe I'll go with a couple of Suhr Aldridge for a more aggressive sound\output, but I don't know yet. I'll try this for a couple of months. And I really love the 50's neck!

On the downside, there's one or two spots where the quality of the finish could be better but Its a <€550 guitar... so nothing that i wasn't expecting. Also the setup could be better, mine came with the low E fretting all over, so I need to tweek it a little bit.

But if you want a LP Goldtop without spending a lot a € and without feeling you need to spend big bucks on modding\upgrading... This is It!

Después de ver todos los reviews the la serie inspired by Gibson me decidí por la gold top 50’.
Primera compra qué hago en Thomann y la guitarra me llegó un día antes de lo estimado, embalada de forma perfecta.
El setup de la guitarra out of the box fue perfecto solo tuve que afinarla.
Ya tengo 24 horas con la guitarra y no he podido quitarle los ojos de encima, si pude dejar de tocarla ya que me dolían mucho los dedos.

Las imperfecciones a nivel del acabado fueron tan pocos y leves que considero no mencionarlos y colocar cinco estrellas en quality.

No voy a comparar esta guitarra con otras que he tenido y mucho menos compararla con sus hermanas mayores que cuestan cuatro veces más, por supuesto que de tener él dinero prefiero comprar Gibson.

Esta guitarra simplemente es maravillosa y puede formar parte de tu colección de guitarras . Genial Epiphone y genial Thomann

Warning, i might be a bit biased because i always wanted a gold top.

First off, this is a heavy guitar, but it's the good kind of heavy. It has sustain for days! The initial setup is OK, it's playable, the strings are not set up to play slide guitar, and the intonation is also OK. When i find some time though, i'll do a proper setup, but out of the box for this kind of money, no complaints.

The neck feels good and straight, not alot of neck wobble when playing so the guitar stays in tune very well. Frets are just a tiny bit sharp, but some rounding of the ends will solve this. Tuners are also good for the money.

The overall finish is realy on point. No checks in the finish, no imperfections, just a beautifull gold metalic painjob and the dark mahogany wood on the rear and sides of the guitar. Only thing i could find was the pick guard. It's a little but rough aroubd the edges, but not much!

Overall, very happy. If i went back in time knowing what i know now, i would buy it again without any hesitation.
