Korean guitar 21 frets, a cutaway, set neck to the 17th box.
A humbucker at the bridge and a mini humbucker in the neck the two designated and certified by Gibson United States. Fixed bridge. 4 knobs settings, volume 3 (one general) and a tone. Grover oil bath.

UTILIZATION

The handle is half a box, that is, a real highway to the 15ème/17ème box, but after the acute access is necessarily not the strong point of this guitar. In terms of ergonomics, the guitar is really comfortable, it's not an enormous chest half (it yours in a bag for paul). it has two anvantages, the first being the aesthetic is not found with a huge guitar it seems to have areas of no-man's land and are therefore poor. Secondly, and this is surtoutr the interest it gives more versatility to the guitar and sounds less heavy, especially when playing on amps means. So this guitar has a very fast its very hot on the neck pickup and is able to have a lot of fishing when we go in the bridge position, the pickups gibson with good sound quality.
It is also worth noting that unlike many of the epiphone is not too heavy.

SOUNDS

While the sound now ... Well, the one is really surprised by this guitar. I use a small frontman 15R with a blues Breaker 2 (Marshall) and necessarily gives some great blues sounds - blues rock and putting just a little boost on the pedal the ghost of Chuck Berry haunts us. but it does not stop there! Rory Gallagher's on it seems to end up growing in the garage rock! I love! lot of fishing, a favorite neck pickup and the solos sound the fire of God! well on this guitar knows its limit on the metal or even hard rock! but half a box so we do not take it for ca!
So this guitar has a really surprising versatility for a half box, mini humbucker in the neck allowing it to not have sound but keeps running over half a mind body and can reach a lot of styles with sounds really great for a guitar in this category!

OVERALL OPINION

I have for a month and a half. Ca in the store was love at first sight, this guitar is really nice, I have a vintage tobacco burst is really splendid! Another thunderbolt AC was the sound! versatile and really good! I tried many cases half of this range, ibanez, peavey, and other epiphone (dot sheraton casino and the Sheraton is very nice but expensive and rare) and I found this great compromise between quality finishes and Price! € 525 bought a really good price for a guitar like that so for sure I would do this choice!
Note that the violin is really good epiphone which allows you to change the pickups safely!
