Mais rassurez-vous c'est bien une Les Paul tout comme ses soeurs. A ce sujet une interview du maitre.
Citation:
BG: So you like your new Epiphones?
LP: Oh yeah, they play equally as well and sound equally as well as the Gibson. If anything, they would say could you make it sound not quite as good? (Laughs)
BG: There is quite a difference between the price of an Epiphone and a Gibson.
LP: Well it took a long time to convince Gibson to do that and I was probably the one to give them the worst time. For many years, the Gibson belief was not to put their name on anything cheap and of course if we come out with this Epiphone line that's related to the Gibson and it's more than half as expensive, this would be looked at as cheap.
BG: They're not cheap now.
LP: No, no, they are making a very fine instrument at a more reasonable price or a lesser price than the very good stuff and it's just great. Makes me happier than hell because young guys starting out can have a very fine neck on a guitar and he can learn on much better conditions than I did when I was a kid sending out to Sears and Roebuck and come back with a bow and arrow and had to play this thing through a terrible amplifier. No, things are a lot better now.
BG: Talk about a great ad for Epiphone.
LP: (Laughs)
