Karera Les Paul Gold Top Copy

I have the tobacco sunburst Les Paul copy. I suspect it's about the same. China made, all maple guitar with set neck. Nice and light, nice looking body shape, nice heel at neck. Visually, it's great.

I'm afraid it's just a project guitar. The pups are worthless, so are the grover knock-off tuners. I went through and put in my favorite gear, including 18:1 mini rotomatics. with new pups, nut, tuners, it's decent player now.

The maple contstruction means it is fairly bright, not the heavy mahogany chunk, but you can compensate with your if amp and pups if you have the right equipment.

There are several small flaws, but the fit and finish was generally OK. No sharp fret ends, everything else was a fairly easy fix. No bad

No, it's not going to last 40 years like a Gibson. On the other hand, you can modify it to your liking and play it for years for a fraction of the cost.

I;ve been fortunate to own and play pretty much everything I've wanted by now. I've probably bought and sold 30-40 guitars, some hi-$ vintage. I wanted a light Les Paul body, appointed to my specs, they I can thrash if I choose to without tearing up $2K. It's good for that, has some forever intonation and tone issues, but it's a solid player now for very little money.

I don't know the year, model number or when it was made. It is a Les Paul Gold Top Copy. It has 22 frets. It has 2 volume, 2 tone and a 3-way rhythem/treble selector. The neck is not as fat as other Gibson copies. I traded a silvertone for it and a hard shell case

I like to play the blues and it sounds good. I use various amps with and without distortion. The 5th and 6th strings vibrate a little but is not heard when amplified. It gives a rich full sound. I do not play crisp music, but when I play lead it does sound good. You definately get different sounds as you switch from rhythem to treble, but not as much as you can from a strat. I like this guitar. for the price it is a gold mine. I don't care a lot for the gold, but it does grow on you.

The guitar as great action and is set up well. The construction seams very durable. It does haved a hole under the neck. I don't know if it where someone tried to install a pick guard or what.

I am hard on all my stuff and it is holding up well. The hardware is very durable and the finish is hard. It does have a few chips where I do not have a cushion on my stand. I have no poblem trusting the durability. This guitar has signs of use and not knowing how old it is looks very good.

The last I seen they no longer make these. There is no support to my knowledge.

I have been playing for 10 years. I have owned all Gibson and Epiphone quitars until my daughter started playing. She likes the Fender look. I am not the type of person to buy the high dollar stuff, but I usually like to buy a known brand. This sounds 100% better than the silvertone, but if I had $1000 to spend I would be buying a Gibson. For the price and what I am doing now it is just as good though.

I don't know the year, model number or where it was made.
Surely somewhere in asia. It is a few years old.
It is a Les Paul gold top copy. I bought it at a local pawn shop for $100 bucks
It sounds Ok, but they saved money putting on cheap tuners which I will change.

It is a pretty cheap guitar. It sounds Ok to me. The humbukers are pretty good on this thing. It feeds back as I'm sure they are not shielded at all. I have been playing Strats and tele's and wanted a humbuker sound. Well I got it. It sounds at least as good as my dean fat strat copy. Through my amp and effects pedal I can get the clean and roaring sounds i want. It is a decent guitar for 100 bucks

Well it seems ok. the action is a little high, and buzzes if I lower it too much. But overall very playable and not bad looking at all. It looks pretty much identical to a Paul gold top. The tuning pegs are the weakest point. When bending notes it goes out of tune. I can get decent tuners for 30 bucks and that is what I'm gonna do

Well I beat the snot out of it the other day and nothing fell off. It seems sturdy enough. I was playing it live. For cheap money it is put together fairly well.
I will use it to gig, with a back up of course!

???????????????????????????????????

I have been playing for nearly 35 years, I own and have owned too many guitars amps and things to mention. I have owned top of the line and bottom of the barrel stuff. I have learned not to be a guitar snob. I let my fingers and ears tell me if the guitar is decent or not.I am not that concerned about the label, they are all made in the same factory any way. (well most of them anyway)
I am glad i got this guitar.. I will upgrade in a while but this one is doing just fine for me. If it were stolen I guess i would be on the hunt for another decent Les Paul copy. You can buy these for like 160.00 new but I would probably save my pennies for something with better pick ups. The guitar is a decent playing and sounding guitar. It is a real guitar one you can actually play without wrestling with it. I was surprised again at what a hundred bucks can get ya. Hey if you are a casual player and want an inexpensive Les Paul this one isn't too bad. There are so many choices these days.
