Mine has been buy with the emg zakk wylde active already install(81bridge/85neck) so i don't no for the stock pick-up sound.I use it with a JCM 800 4010 50 watts full tube and a effect board behringer X V-amp and a crybaby and a boss chorus ce-5.I play blues ,hard rock,some metal and a little bit of everything and this guitar cover it all with success.The sound of the guitar is very rich and got alot of substain.Even unplugged she have a great deep sound.with the emg active I give it a 10.

The neck on this guitar is large so you have to adjust yourself to it.The set up is perfect and the guitar play perfectly with no fret buzz and good quality tuner that stay in tune.The guitar is very heavy ,like a gibson(around 10 pounds).The only flaw is on the finish.It have minor default : the black stripe on the headstock have some fade and the stripe around the body edge too (on the back of the guitar).There a little orange blemish on the neck.But that not big deal and are often common on Korean guitar.

I own it for 1 month and I buy it used and the original owner had it for 1 year.The clear coat is like new and the hardware too.The strap button are big and you may not need strap lock.I am 100% confidence with this guitar.This guitar is not a cheap Korean.

I definitly fall in love with this guitar.Everyboby around me love it and it doesn't look like anything else.It have it 's own personality and she's very pleasant to play.The advantage of this guitar is that there a few made and she become hard to find and she can still be found at a great price so grab one if you can and keep it in good shape because she's probably will become a collectible fast.Look more like a gibson than the epiphone because of the headstock and it's alot more rare than the epiphone and probably sounding better.Go get one !

This guitar is Rippin!! The pickups are a little dull and could use being upgraded to the Real EMG Zakk set. All around though it sounds like a real Gibson Les Paul Custom. The Rosewood fretboard also is probably contributing to the lack of brightness ussually associated with ebony fretboards.

Great Set up by seller!!! The neck has Polyurethane on it unlike the Real Gibson Zakk model which is bare tung oil wood. However it's not bothering me yet cause the finish is slick and not sticky.

For me this guitar is worlds better than it's epiphone counterpart and definately in league with the Gibson version. Adding the real EMG's would make it a 10.
