I tried one in person and wasn't impressed with the sound. and I've watched several demos where it sounds like it has anemia. are these really the exact same pickups Gibson uses? for $499 I can get a prs ce 24 satin that sounds way better. the epi les Paul classic also sounds much better to my ears. not to mention my Gibson les Paul studio.

I tried one in 2016 and I was very underwhelmed, when I tried in 2024 however last month, I was still unimpressed, the neck has ridiculous amount of lacquer, it feels incredibly light in comparison to the body, the guitar itself isn't that heavy in comparison to a Gibson, the burst looks decent NGL, but again nothing in comparison to a real les paul

The nasal sound feels good. The touch adjustment is in place. It's still good. If you remove the factor of brand, it's probably only the price that is higher.

The sound is very similar to Gibson. Is this weight very heavy?

Yes, the only difference with the real gibson1959 version is the lightening of the wood, and the EPI neck, which is better, is molded as one piece.

@@user-naturallycurlyNick I just recently got it. It's lightweight at 3.6 kg(7.9 lbs) and I really like the neck. 👍👍👍

7.9 is way too light for a Les Paul unless it is a chambered body.

The Laurel and Hardy fretboard is not acceptable on a guitar at this price point.. The original 59s and current gibsons have rosewood.. They did use ebony on the 2024 epiphone customs and 355 so why not rosewood on this? People may say that they are happy with Indian Laurel but at the end of the day it is a budget wood that need frequent lemon oil treatments. In the future we will see them return to rosewood on the premium models.

No they don't . I have several sets of both and they sound nothing alike. Very different pickups in every way .. The tone here is terrible. I have never heard a BB Pro or Custombucker sound like this .
