The Epiphone Les Paul 1959 Standard
In part 1 of the review i show the case and the guitar itself. Mention some features of the case and thats it. Don’t forget this is PART 1 of the review.
The case:
Brown exterior, pink interior, really well cushioned to provide the best protection for your instrument! There is an accessory compartment in the case (Length:18.5cm, Width:12cm, Depth: 5cm) which is great for tuners,plectrums , micro amps and short guitar leads/cables but not straps and long guitar leads/cables.
The guitar:
Mahogany body, rosewood fingerboard with pearloid “Trapezoid” inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets.

2 Gibson USA Bursbucker pickups (Humbuckers). Gibson Tuners (Vintage Style, “tulip” buttons).
The finish is just beautiful ,Faded Cherry Sunburst.
The Straplocks i use are Dunlops and are the best and safest in my opinion, it costs a bit more than all the other ones, it’s still not the most expensive, but it does what it has to do perfectly. Easy to install and I use them happily if we have concerts.

I play the latest song I wrote, and review my custom LPJ.
Also like the warning label says.
Don’t base my skills solely off teh vidyeo.
If i wanted to play seriously, I would make a srs vidya with a srs fayce to match.
