Value For Money :
Poor
Guitar made in indonesia, size 00 (parlor), version priori cheap gibson her sister. This is a guitar that uses the forms and spirit of the blues box 30s. Paid 249 euros, and equipped with a micro fishman, I was expecting the worst at this price, and yet:
Spruce-mass
-dos/éclisses laminated mahogany
-Mahogany
Rosewood-
Dams cut by hand (I confirm)
-Dovetail neck joint
Grover-mechanical
At this price, we think of a joke ...
UTILIZATION
First, the guitar is superb, the finish is very good (even apart from the price). Gloss but not excessive thickness (very good), we see slightly fibers appear in the table. Surprising comfort in sitting game. Very comfortable handle with incredible but not too late and an ergonomic shape, not tiring at all. Average weight for size.
First thing, the Nut is plastic atrocious and the spacing of the strings is very small (point often criticized on this guitar), surprising as it is a place of both sides of the handle: I have everything immediately put a bone nut with a spacing "standard".
I also put a bone bridge saddle, fell slightly compared to the original (you can leave the original imitation bone, it is better than the Nut, just down if necessary).
-The frets are not polished and hang a little, I polished the frets, nickel it out very quickly and it solves the problem.
As amended, with elixir strings, the guitar is simply incredible in gameplay (for the price).
SOUNDS
I wanted a guitar of this style, not having the means for its version gibson or martin for (except the 00-15m would have been my choice, others are overpriced).
I note also that this format is ridiculously expensive for large brands. My goal is to work with, including the gypsy jazz style as Tommy Emmanuel doing so well with his or her little gibson martin 00-17. (The comparison stops there ...)
In fact it is happening everywhere, game or finger pick 3mm all fits.
Very nice sound, very balanced bass / midrange with no loss in the spectrum on any string (rare).
Connected it sounds good, it will take a little playing EQ on the amp because it is fairly "loudness" (bass and treble). It will also consider the rosette block, it goes quickly feedback. Even electro she defends herself well, although I have not taken to it.
OVERALL OPINION
At the moment it is still new, but the massive table will probably open a bit (this is already very well now).
This is simply the best value for money I had in my hands, provided they make small changes mentioned above. We can do without it, but there it transcends the guitar.
I have a lot of guitars brand and all costs, but I do not expect to much fun with this little epiphone ...
