Which Jap Copy of Les Paul?

[ngjingming]

any particular models i shd look out for?

 

[almondx]

That will depend on your preference already ie. there is no particular model that is better. Most of the "higher-end models" of the brand are only better in terms of cosmetic bling factor.

Oh man, all this talk about LPs suddenly bring out a hunger in me to go try one. I was anti LP initially because of the neck. They are all painted, no natural necks like Ibanez. But all this talking made me wanna go try one. Are there LPs with natural necks?

Anyone owns an UNO by orange guitar? Any feedback?

 

[keithC]

i think u'll love it

I'm still trying to put into my mind a LP fitted with a Wizard Neck, jumbo frets... Haha...

 

[keithC]

haha, impossible, unless you can "bolt off" an LP neck, haha...
it will affect the sound and sustain too, as les pauls' are mainly mahagony necked..

Yeah, I'm a sucker for mahagony. Like the tone, Andy Timmons AT-300 really has a very sweet tone. Mahagony body...

Well, just wondering if Orangeguitar's UNO could be customed like that... Haha...

Still can't stop dreaming about it man, Mahagony body, Wizard thinness necks on an LP, jumbo frets...
I'll definately GAS one!

almondx, the tokai's u mentioned, do u mean the Love Rock of the 80's? how about the Love Rock II? any comments on those?

 

[almondx]

Yup I'm referring to the 80s Love Rock. No idea about the Love Rock II, really sorry about that.

It's nice to know the Daughtry guitarist uses a Tokai for studio recording purposes and a Gibson on stage for live performances. Kinda like secret hidden weapon thingy 8)

 

[ngjingming]

the pickups of most of the jap copies are good right?

not like stock epi ones that are all muddy

 

[almondx]

Yea they are not bad. The epiphone pickups are nice too if you know how to tweak them.

 

[subversion]

the Tokai pickups are surprisingly warm for cleans & crunch tones.

Edwards has Duncans in them, that's a primary draw for me 8)
