Value For Money :
Excellent
- Made the "Epiphone Custom Shop '... plain in China.
- Mahogany body, set neck
- Fixed Bridge (tune-o-matic), FOR A CHANGE BIGSBY
- 22 Frets
- Channel rather thin and flat
= Average Finishes (pickguard a bit poorly cut, the edges of paintings not very clear)
Cons by the guitar sounds good vacuum even with 09-42 strings, surely a sign of wood after all fairly good
UTILIZATION
- The handle is very comfortable, fast, it would however won qqes 10th of seconds if it had been painted and unpainted dull, but the goal was to better "stick" to the original. Certainly my next change ...
- Good ergonomics, light weight, good balance (improved according to me by my Bigsby which adds a bit back)
SOUNDS
- Original Pickups: Humbuckers Epiphone classical guitar on this untested = I bought it with Seymour Duncan "Phat Cat" (P90 humbucker format), changed quickly for Gotoh humbuckers ( Japanese pickups early 80's)
- The sound with these new pickups is very close to a Les Paul at the time, and more originality, weight and especially the price and less!
They have much more personality than the Epiphone humbuckers I have on another guitar (I did not really like the sound of Phat Cat "softer" and muffled)
- I play on an amp head lamps Blackheart "Little Giant" + Celestion
OVERALL OPINION
I use the guitar for 1 year 1 / 2
The combination Amp-Guitar-Pickups is perfect, at least that's exactly what I was looking for, ie a supplemental to my Stratocaster guitar (and thus quite different) and cheap enough to not be afraid of tinkering !
The finish is obviously not that of a guitar at 2000 €, but we must get past this first impression of guitar "cheap" (surely reinforced by the weight down), it is so nice to play it quickly forgets his small defects
I found the quality / price excellent, because by changing 2 or 3 tips depending on your needs we create a super small scratch original and not expensive (mine came back with all the mods, 300 €) &% &% &% &%
