All user reviews for the Emperador ES-335 Replica

Don’t listen to the guy saying you can’t compare it to a 335. A guitar is only as good as it feels and sounds and is a personal preference. I own three 335’s and one E-200. Sure, it’s a copy, has a bolt on neck, zero fret and weak tuners but in my opinion has the best Bigsby copy ever made and plays better than most. This guitar stays in tune better than any Gibson I own and have several. The best thing I can say is one night I was stepping off of a stage about a ft tall. My foot got caught on a cable. I landed on concrete on top of the E-200. I landed so hard It bent the toggle switch and put a gouge in the lower part of the body. Never mind that on that same stage a month earlier, my J45 fell over from the wind (and the headstock broke off) this E-200 was STILL in tune!! Don’t get me wrong, I love Gibson but they are delicate and some are duds. Bottom line... if you’re lucky enough to find one of these E-200’s, buy it and replace the tuners and possibly the electronics. I will NEVER again underestimate any musical instrument built in Japan. They are master builders. A legacy of creating greatness with a small price tag.

Gibson ES335 copy, finally she looks!

UTILIZATION

You can you use a tennis racket but it is a man's need to know ...

SOUNDS

Very good, if thou upgrades

OVERALL OPINION

Here without Youmi Wallace, I just do a little of that famous com Emperador E200 ...
Of course I have one, I know it well, we have a long history both, so I just talk to her in this there is no demo and no one owns it.

Mine is 1969, I changed the pickups of unknown origin for 57 gibson and there arguably sounds, before that it sounded just acoustic.

I recently put up for sale 350th and to my surprise I received a lot of exchange proposal (U.S. Fender, Gibson Les Paul vintage amp etc.) of the proposal disproportionate to what I asked suddenly I increased the price to 550th.
I found on the net between 600 and 1200 e not upgraded.

Mine is very beautiful, the painting took a patina and seen it all, after 44 years, it adds to its charm.

To come to the most important aspect for us, sound, yes by all not buy what a guitar to look at even if it is very pretty, emperador, to own her, she is a copy of Gibson ES335 but just physically, original microphones installed completely destroy the guitar and takes him to the frontiers of stupidity, the mechanics make it virtually unusable upgraded this guitar is really interesting, it is made for the blues , rock, reggae, jazz, short versatile enough.
The fake Bigsby is effective and luckily he is here, he gives this blend of wood pallet an advantage, yes the wood of the guitar is not uncommon in my opinion even if it has older.

Notice of Rockncoks is quite justified, I agree with him on almost all points, I pass the salvation and analytical insight.

Nevertheless, the Emperador E200 is rare and if it is not shown in 44 years to become a reference I think it is only because of his pitiful microphones and all those who have played in the state that can not be quickly forgotten if they played mine today I'm sure they would remember her for always it is atypical, this guitar is an encounter that leaves no one indifferent.

Since I have, many have played it and it was they who made me realize its true qualities, I did not like this guitar, and one day I had the means to pay me a Gibson ES335 true, after having tried a few, I ended up buying a sound and keep my Emperador which was plenty for me.
Given the market, I think 1200 e is a bit abused, 600 e is already more reasonable.

Anyway, I do not have too much to sell except for exceptional proposal also is on the right corner for those that branch.

Finally, just a little spiel about reviews Audiofanzine or other people who give their opinion on the material often have no experience of the material in question or worse, of course I am not talking of Rockncox in which I place great hopes for my future purchases.

We just read here and there, lots of platitudes "preamp transparent" etc ...
We should be wary of young guns who draws a warning larigot, when you know the material in question we quickly realized we did not have to do the experts ... While distrust!

OVERALL OPINION

rare find. Mine is 1968 in a time speakers a little older but nothing n'enlve in the magic of its sound qualities.
I think it will be hard to sell because too few people know this magical instrument that could overshadow the models of the inescapable mark Gibson.

On the day of its sale has not happened yet

Guitar EMPERADOR E-200 (copy GIBSON ES 335), but is a copy of AWAY! She is beautiful it's true, nice looking but can in no way be compared to a Gibson ES 335, this model EMPERADOR E-200 Semi Acoustic Electric Guitar costing $ 120, so then of course the old things can be tremendous value, but why the subject should not just be rare, it should also be sought, which is not the case for this guitar.

I do not know if the person who has previously posted the notice on this guitar this guitar has really paid 2500 E, but excuse me, I really n'veux not offend you but it is not worth that price! after that may be a stroke of lightning, but in principle with 2500 Euros you buy a gibson guitar not a Japanese that range.

Very few people know of it, it did not mark the spirits, despite its importance in the early 70's in the USA by Jack WEISTHEIMER. It has been very little used, if it had value today the word is quickly passed.

This guitar EMPERADOR is certainly pleasant to see, the sound is nice for rock and roll, blues ... obviously it is for this, but after it is done with basic equipment in all areas (timber for microphones that they are just strangers).

I could also see the auctions, which it left once to 120 euros for the Yellow sunburst model 69 and once at 140 Euros for the red model emperador 68.

UTILIZATION

The neck is very thin, always the same we love we love it, personally I like his scintillating

SOUNDS

, acute ... It's a beautiful guitar

OVERALL OPINION

to see but built in Japan with very basic equipment, in no way be compared to a Gibson, much less an ES 335, a guitar EMPERADOR merit today ' Today a bargain price for my share of approximately 250 Euros.
That's my opinion, thank you.
