3 / 4 body, table glued laminated maple and spruce, flamed maple back, rather pretty,
maple sides and also the handle.
Rosewood bridge, two volume, two tones, golden mechanical oil bath.
Micro seymour design. (Two humbuckers with gold covers)
Channel broad profile in D.

UTILIZATION

Overall the handle is quite nice
with access to acute enough correct.
The balance is held.
Acoustically it's pretty bland
Connected, the sound is rather poor given the price.
Are low but the drafts, the highs are Criar, not really musicals.

SOUNDS

Well, I'm pretty disappointed.
In fact this is my fourth Epiphone and I think it's the last.
The pickups all his phonics.
Not to mention that the handle comes off at the junction with the body!
A luthier told me that this is due to variable quality materials used in the heel and the mortise.
Well honestly the instrument is exploitable by taking technique are very fine to play and manage the equalizer.
Evidenced by the title "Acid Corporation" (see my site).
But considering the price, I expected better.
(I use it on a PV classic 50)
I bought this guitar in order to address and fusion styles soul-Jazz/Acid-Jazz
such as Pat Metheny, Benson, Ronny Jordan.
Feasible but difficult.
The instrument has no personality to help you with inspiration.

OVERALL OPINION

This instrument has very good looks, brand new with its gilding and its Pouche
and the flamed maple back.
But are the beautiful gilding very quickly especially at the micro-caps.
The sound is not up to what the instrument suggests.
The electronics are the picks, I spend my time putting the bomb on the contacts pots, switch and jack, let alone micro phonic!
And unfortunately I fell sue a model at the junction sleeve / body particularly fragile (I am told that I was not alone).

In summary: Belle de Loint but ...
