A very nice guitar! the bridge is made of wood (ebony appears there), the pearl inlays are very successful at the head.
the pickguard is "signquot, Joe Pass, which is not everyone's taste but I like it! (I also tried to remove it, but it diffrent c nice too)
dor fittings do not stay very long bad! ...

UTILIZATION

This guitar is simple to use trs, 2 volume 2 tone, both effective, they really affect the sound.
The mechanisms are very good for once in epiphone (I played for ten years on a les paul standard that disagree Somewhat easy, and SG from 2000 that tune a little less) agree No problem during the game .

As for ergonomics, it is a 3 / 4 cash sitting so it holds well, it remains dock without any problems and does not sting the nose regardless of the position. Access to acute biensur ais is not in boxes since last ca 3 / 4.

The handle is big enough, very nice. that being said I think the patent is not conducive to rapid passages, I feel like the thumb that sticks to the handle.
By adjusting the position of a little hand and releasing the pressure at the thumb lapulpe it goes easily.

SOUNDS

Guitar purchase in the first hand, micro t have changed in favor of his predecessor Di Marzio air classic.
I have not had a chance to hear the original sound.

Di Marzio pickups ='s killer! trs powerful, they let the guitar breathe
You can feel the sound through an acoustic electric switch (I speak biensur case or sound that is strong enough to not hear the sound coming out of the acoustic guitar)

the sound is jazz but rather nervous, he pulls a little to the 50's rock n roll.
c but watch the big sound that passes through the mix! impossible not to be heard, even with a small amp. I had the opportunity to play on a bass amp (school of music hum ...), a park with 10 watt pedalier zoom 1010 and a Peavy 40 watt transistor, then my amp modeling a line6 Flextone III XL, and on my Vox 30 watt lamp with preamp ... it always comes out beautifully!

Frankly I insist on the power of microphones that have t Mountains, which make this guitar an atomic bomb for the concerts!
The mixture of acoustic acoustic / electric has a high volume is incredible.

Overdrive with a big bass sound comes into rsonance with your body and then, it's big sound, a sound fat and revenge, the precise time, a unique sound that you will not hear anywhere else very very roots and a quality die for! I recently saw the group playing Venus in concert with an Epiphone Emperor overdrive, you ca shakes organs! Frankly whatever the style I play, and I am humble with this guitar can not believe my fans!

I tried to register my jazz trio with the rotten stuff, c already very well, and I think, given the richness of sound with good equipment mix should be an example of ease!

Frankly, you buy one of OCCAZ was 450 euros, you mount the microphones at the top, for 600 euros you have the guitar of the century!

A great pleasure in playing together + + +, you can, considering the price it costs, take it anywhere without apprhender it takes a shot!

Change of microphones and a guitar is live!

10/10 with Di Marzio pickups air classic

OVERALL OPINION

Mechanical top, beautiful guitar, shame about the hardware ...
Change the microphones and let your voice touch!
