  • The green color is BADASS!

  • @Tenaciousdlover1231 Thanks man, a lot of people don't like it.

  • The fake of a fake I have has black screws on the pick-ups, but has only one single coil under each humbucker cover. Glad I didn't pay more than $25 for it.

  • @clockguy2 Hard to go wrong for $25. Pick-ups are relatively cheap if the rest of the guitar plays well.

  • I have been thinking of getting one of these Chinese guitars.Can you tell me what company you went through.I really don't care about the name on the head stock.I am looking for a good Les Paul foundation for a project guitar.If you can help thanks if not still thank you for the informative video!!

  • @MrMagnificents I just sent you a long email

  • Nice video, If you don't mind... where did you get it? wanna get one.... my salary is not allowing me to get real one .. for now... Thank you...

  • @MrMagnificents Cheap foundation I should have said

  • @Thespeakerofmanytru8 "...that factory"? Which one? Epiphones are made all over China. The QingDao factory makes Epi's exclusively, but the other factories make guitars for a lot of different brands. Here are the Epi serial number codes for China: DW=DaeWon/Dalian, EA=QingDao, EE=QingDao, MC=Muse China, SJ=SaeJung China, Z=Zaozhuang Saehan, BW=China, UC=Unsung China. And they all use CNC machines so it isn't hard for them to make some fakes after hours.

  • @11harrison11 Thanks and I agree on all points. After making the video I replaced the pickups with gold EMG 81/85's, the guitar now sounds great (assuming you like EMG pickups of course).
