Les Paul electric guitar with Epiphone Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers
The Epiphone Les Paul Muse Pearl Purple Passion Metallic represents the classic singlecut design with flexible electronics and in exciting colour finishes. This Les Paul, which is part of the Inspired by Gibson collection, features a lightweight okoume body with resonance chambers that not only take some weight off of the Epiphone Les Paul Muse Pearl Purple Passion Metallic, but also offer ideal balance on the strap. The slim "Custom-C" neck profile offers superb playability in all positions of the 22 fret fretboard made of Indian Laurel. In terms of sound, two Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers, true classics of the Epiphone line-up, provide loud and powerful humbucker sounds. The treble bleed circuit delivers transparent treble reproduction even in lower volume settings, whereas the push/pull function of the volume potentiometers splits the humbuckers into single coil mode for even more transparent single coil sounds.
Exciting colour finishes and versatile sounds are the trademarks of the Epiphone Les Paul Muse Pearl Purple Passion Metallic.

Epiphone Les Paul Muse Pearl Purple Passion Metallic
It's lightweight, really small compare to my strat. Very good pink colour. Sound is great!
Honestly, I bought it only because of colour. Yes, I've heard a lot about great sound and good manufacturing lvl but it was not as crucial for me. It is one of very few pink guitars.
Also I've heard that Yamaha is the only brand that make even their cheapest guitars perfectly. I could agree with that after I've seen this one. Nothing crucial. Just somewhere you can see glue and other small "defects". They are not affect the sound and you can see them only if you looking for them. It is good, but not perfect.
Sad that once I bought it - the price decreased for 25 euros. I collected money for few months and waited for Black Friday sale. But there was no off for this guitar in November)) So I asked support for personal off but didn't get answer. Yesterday I got the guitar and today came to make a review. And when I saw the new price the envy frog in my mind turned into rage-mode :D
