This guitar is made Indonsie. For CHARACTERISTICS has not changed the opinion Previous. They correspond to the Epiphone website: table massive pica (the light), rolled the body (mahogany, powerful), but finely crafted.
The mcaniques type "vintage" with plastic button are pretty average. They are manual lubrication and I find they do not rev much tuning. (Self-Mcanique blocks up is 100 x better.)
The problem is especially for me at the action of the strings. The notches of the nut head do not seem open enough for the ropes nets.
For cons, the mini humbucker is gnial. It really changes the piezo sensors. Its position in the handle rose prs Confre him a good capture respecting the game of the guitarist.
One volume, one tone and no frills ...
Faux-pearl inlays on the button: aa of the mouth.
on the other hand, unlike Acetate, she silent naked book, but mine has everything you need to attach the strap (a hitch lower body and another on the heel of the handle opposite the guitarist.)
A more frets, the bridge and head are made of bone. The sound suffers.

UTILIZATION

The handle type C LES PAUL but a little pais. It is enjoyable. This is not a BChE.
There is no pan shot but it is not Gnant.
Form "southern jumbo" or "round shoulder" (dreadnought with a narrower shoulders) and depth of his body confrent a beautiful sound power. It is quite lgre (about 4 kg).
The acoustic sound is good trs (think changing the original string. Mine was more like ropes than electric folk).
The sound is great INTERESTED electro and more respectful of the original sound of the guitar a piezo. (Long live the mini-humbucker rosette)
In practice, it dlivre a warm and slightly rough (roots) that I am not dsagrable. It reminds me a lot, the Gibson J45. (Hi, hi, the look comes close, but the sound too.)
It DCID I change strings, and mcaniques srement ankles (going to save the bne sustain). Once the handle rgl (it's not the foot from the factory) it provides good, this little guitar (in fact, is enjoyable, the key to trus road is provided and a cable too).

SOUNDS

This is a guitar of characters. It is fairly typical folk, blues, rock ... but it is in parts trs INTERESTED rides finger picking. Its range allows it to sound
not be trans among other acoustic.
Test-l in all situations. For now I'm not.

OVERALL OPINION

It has been two months since I played with. This is my quatrime guitar. J'tais more jumbo acoustic (I have a CORT NTL 50 (table pica mass / body Rosewood) but I needed a more powerful guitar with a mahogany body to diversify my compositions.
Report qualitprix is ​​gniale (416 euros). I tried other models but you have to pay a lot more to find a shovel which supplants.
Some small BMOL all of the same: action ropes, plastic anchors and mcaniques showing their limits quickly keeping in agreement. I had the same on my pearl Epiphone LES PAUL (PC) and I made exchange for self-locking Sperzel (which does not gchent style as they have the same shape tulip mtal). It's another world.
With exprience, I would take the same guitar that nice Epiphone EJ 160 E.
