Mahogany
Rosewood
22 jumbo frets.
Groover mechanical oil bath
Fixed bridge type Tune o Matic.
Channel type "Slim Tapper" 60 '
1 New York Mini Epiphone Humbucker (Ceramic) to handle.
An Epiphone Alnico Classic (Alnico 5) in bridge.
1 master volume, neck volume 1, volume 1 easel, a general tone, one 3-position selector.

UTILIZATION

Channel enjoyable. but not too round. Radius key dish (12 ')
Good ergonomics. Light guitar (half case).
Access to Acute is correct but nothing exceptional.
The original sound is not bad but I recommend a change of pickups.

SOUNDS

Personal I changed the bridge pickup for a Gibson Classic 57 (the top).
The neck pickup "mini-humbucker" sounds good. Small output level close to a simple but quiet.
The "Gibson" in the bridge really makes the guitar sound like a real body half made in United States.
The intermediate position is super interesting.
I played on a Vox AC 30 CC2.

OVERALL OPINION

I have 2 years and I gets off.
I have guitars Made in United States but this little Epiphone is largely the comparison. (Maybe not with the original pickups).
I play as much as my other guitars even though it is certainly the cheapest.
Excellent value for money.
Look fabulous.
Sounds close to a solid body but with the weight of half a box.
Format Les Paul type guitar (a little bigger) but much less so great a ES 335 with a more compressed.

I know that the model is no longer for sale so if you come across a model OCCAZ one second please ...
