See previous opinions, however, a detail the handle is in parts, it's cheap, we know why
Mine is solid and does not fall apart as some people say is opinion but a matter of luck I think. Price ranges on these inequalities in a skyscraper to another it happens

UTILIZATION

Nothing to say except for one detail that is not one, the frets are absolutely crap. As with all Epiphone I tried, if you press too hard it makes up the note and the coup is wrong. Donors Council contends that good I do not play enough "fine" but when you are full and flared one piece does not always "fine".
It is frankly difficult and it requires to shrink by a luthier fret
Pulling rope light improves the problem but that kind of scratch likes thick rods. Obviously it will be in disto tape clean but it's a real worry.
The feedback is also insane. Impossible to work with a clean thick of the gain on my engl thunder.Sur against a hot rod with it very well, without feedback, but the sound is very fine.
In disto again the problem of feedback is less cumbersome and can make it last notes ever. Do not let go of the strings between songs.
So to jazz on my amp is pretty poor, even with a hush, for the big rock by the cons that's fine.

SOUNDS

I totally agree with the previous opinions on the sound. This is an exellent guitar, with a serious dose of breathtaking. The sound is open, full, distortion in it directly affects the internal organs with a lot of infrastructure. Microphones origins are not bad for once a spike, unless it is who loves me are drooling is also possible.
The microphone sounds like the micro acute severe a lot of other guitars.

Obviously it's a matter of amp, a fender is more acute than on a engl
By adjusting the height of the microphones and screws (no it is not allowed) I think everything should be possible. With a high gain ceramic micro it must be surprising and effective for the big sound metal, funk to be its only limit

Clean typed jazz, smooth and full fat
devastating crunch like "the Apocalypse is near"
thick, fat distortion
lespaulien enough in my view, more open, less dense and fatty

Unplugged it's not worth a folk but you can still work with, and without peter ears because it does not sound still not very strong. The sound is "decent" at best

OVERALL OPINION

Good scratch, but the frets are a concern, I know it's hard to flog stuff is but it must be objective. The mechanical origins are also dismal, the feedback can make life (hush inevitable but does not solve the problem so far)

Knowing that it still requires many qualities but the costs for improvement. At this rate it is well worth a scraper which prices are three times
attention to the stuff to use with it changes at all while the final result

I tried gretsh the same price, unless personality
The non-Ibanez, sheer snobbery
The rest too expensive
the other half body type epi sheraton, dot, casino or other frets avaint problem much more serious than this one, as to make me forget the frets of the emperor at the time. paid 400 euros it's worth OCCAZ
