rodyblek09 « the cheaper the better »
Published on 03/18/12 at 13:11Made in China, it is equipped with bridge and tailpiece typical of this range Gibson / Epiphone, the handle is quite nice: nor a "log" as the Les Paul Studio, or highway of the Firebird (owned in the past two heads) , 21 frets, I think, two open humbucking Epiphone and only two potentiometers + inverter.
UTILIZATION
The handle is very nice, it must be done every guitar when more than one, it is advisable, the lack of benchmarks "dots" are coming: I made the big dots + white polish on the edge of my neck! ...
Finally, the ergonomics are very good, the body will stand under the right arm (right) and the guitar is light (mahogany, and dry? ...), Access to acute is pretty good, when one has Strat G & L Tribute or, I return the length of the handle: a move from a 24'75 25'50 becomes tiring with age, is not Stevie Ray or Hendrix who wants ...
So, question her, with my Bugera amp (tubes of course), emphasized bass settings, it's a pleasant surprise ... for an Epiphone! BBKing revisited, with the feeling of modesty and necessary ... ! The body is beam, ie a block of wood (white, maple?) Separates the two inner parts of the body and the pickups are set out in this beam, which should sound differently than a Washburn HB 30 ? ... anyway, finally, for almost half the price (Washburn HB33DR mahogany / beam), I prefer the Epi Dot Studio, mine is worn cherry - all black hardware and SUPERB, I find it really beautiful!
SOUNDS
For blues, rock, finger-picking/folk-rock, Kaukonen, e tutti quanti, it's not bad! ...
The sounds are dependent on the amp: I'm "old-school direct plug ins" if it sounds, no need for pedals or 36 Encor less synthesized sounds as the lights ARE THE Son! ... Certainly when I had the urge to tinker, I would change the mics: I have old Aria, Epiphone also, "Slasher" who "fart"; Wilkinson double and P90, enough raving, but I other budget guitars to "upgrade" (or downgrade, you never know, I'm not the fashions of the moment ...)
So I play on Bugera V55 head and 4x12 cabinet 'ditto: I re-repeat the pleasure of searching sounds very exciting, as usual you are doing (I do not play in a group).
So I recognize the limitations of this guitar pickups, the ideal - her older sister Gibson - worth six (6) times its price! ...
OVERALL OPINION
2 weeks and conquered; purchased on the net for a "half box" beautiful and interesting and certainly WITHOUT A PRIORI: I was right! ! !
I like the quality, finish, the look and beauty, color, etc. ...
I recognize the limitations of microphones: they were better, "they" would sell more than Gibson!
Value for money: 9/10, while the other Epi are worthless, although expensive +!
Choice to repeat the colors in non-imported (blue, white, yellow, etc ...!)
