Brand New Les Paul Day!

... but are you playing authentic???!??!?!?!?!?


J/K. It does look pretty. Not sure if I'm big into the abalone inlays, but the top and the gold hardware look nice.

Sounds cool in your clip. Is the Gibson DSC a thing? What is it about?
 
60s slim ish neck.
I think I can make out a scarf joint.

Wonder what kind of wood it is.


Any guesses?

The Gibson pickup came out of my Gibson BFG Les Paul. It's a double slug. Don't know much about it, I put a Distortion in the BFG and so this has just been sitting on the shelf. It's not a DD, but it's 100x better than whatever junker was in this thing.
 
Looks like the same thing my Grote semi-hollow is made of (tbh it looks like Mahogany) Stuff sounds great and does'nt lack for anything tone-wise..

$300 for a Gibson makes a LOT more sense to me :laugh2:

Jokes apart, I'm no afficionado ...but it definitely had me fooled. Sounds like the real thing too, especially w/ the new pup..

I would agree with Rex
probably a mahogany ish wood with a Luan veneer

Mine have pretty veneer on the back to cover the 3 piece body

I'm not bothered

My Aliexpress babies good players
unless I tell someone where they come from
Everyone thinks they are expensive custom builds
 
If I ever get a Chibson, it's gonna be a Blue Sparkle Frehley model. I'd just like to know.

But technology improves, everything gets better/easier. Keep up or die. I play Authentic, but I sure as hell don't PAY authentic.

How does this compare to say an Epiphone LP from maybe the 90/00's?
 
I find it odd
that when slash plays a copy
made in a basement in California
No one scolds him

Or when Jeff beck had a tele built for him

But if you get one from an Asian builder
Oh no

Seems a bit , you know
double standard

if not racist

American business propaganda.

Fit and finish overall better on the Epiphone. Sound and play is about the same. My 2 cents worth.

​​​​​​I would play my new Epiphones over this Chibson any day.... But man even those are getting too expensive these days.
 
But something to keep in mind guys, there are a lot of different manufacturers making these copies, some are better than others.
​​​​​​ I have no idea who made this particular item.
 
Today I switched to black knobs, and ordered a set of gold "keystone" (because that's what I like best on Paul's) Grovers off reverb. They'll be in next week I'm hoping.

These stock tuners don't hold tune very well.
