It is not an emulation (type Variax) but a piezo pick for the more acoustic sound possible. The sound produced by the Shadow is interesting. The balance between the two microphones is good (after adjustment). The outline sound is sculpted and frequencies produced stand fine. Obviously it is "typical" Les Paul therefore plans Knopfler and others, it will be something else (I had LAG Rockline Toulouse equipped with Seymour). It has a very good sustain despite a much lower weight to the Paul Gibson.

The sound with the microphone is what I expected and even more thanks to the integrated findings instrument (I've never had Gibson Les Paul). But according to some forums, it would tend to "bite the neck." I will publish this comment as soon as I did a test. This is a Les Paul, while bcp lighter and better access to treble. By correctly adjusting the curvature of the neck and height of the bridge, there is no disruption of this kind (at least not on mine). It says here that there would be one bp "stuffer". The handle is very nice despite my small hands.

I did not use the USB port, but I think people will find useful. Everyone will find useful, but I admit that it is convenient when you are in a place with a lot of noise and you want to have a perfect tuning. The tuner may sound gadget for some other musicians (pro) have found it indispensable. It is time to consider when you want to make a transition magnetic pickups -> piezo There are perhaps half a second to start the acoustic microphone. 3 mini knobs on the back of the guitar seems very fragile and do not have an indicator (detent point). With the Ultra III was 3 settings: gain, bass, treble that make it easier to carve its acoustics. With no tone controls on these guitars, I had some sounds rotten when lives.

The problem I had with piezo is that the sound is very sharp and I think this is due to the fact that the sensors are located at the bridge. I know pretty well Piezo pickups, I have a Godin Solidac and my Gibson has a Piezo system GraphTech. We find here a Les Paul but you can transform using micro Piezo Nanomag included. This will be a treat for my back during long concerts The color in Vintage Sunburst is beautiful! This Epiphone is not ashamed to face a Gibson Studio! In addition, with its hollow chambers, the Epiphone is any slight. I'll still see my luthier to fix everything. So I have not had any problems with mine. Otherwise I find the strings low enough for my taste.
Epiphone les paul ultra code#
At the end of the box, only my code E frieze serious when I scratch like a nag. The big downside I read everywhere: crimping some strings. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the Epiphone which I find (almost) as good as my Studio. Once there, I compared the Ultra III (made in China) to my Gibson Les Paul Studio (made in U.S.).
