MGR/hybrid « Epiphone Supernova »
Published on 01/08/04 at 15:00I bought this in Hong Kong for less than $3000hkd which I thought was a very good price. I wasn't really planning to buy a semi-hollow bodied guitar but it sounded really good and the price was good.
The paintjob (Union Jack) is awesome and it looks like it'll last for a long time. The pickups are alright and it sounds good clean or dirty. I can get a very nice classic rock sound with some overdrive.
Feedback isn't a big issue, which is good.
It doesn't stay in tune very well and the body is a bit big.
ES 335 style, 2 tones, 2 volumes, toggle switch. It is Oasis' siganture model and it has he guitarist's name on the pickguard but I took it off. It looks better without the pickguard. There's imperfections of paintjob but they are pretty minor. The inlays on the fretboard aren't 100% perfect but as long as it doesn't stick out/ fall off it's not much of an issue to me.
The input jack is a bit loose, like most lower end guitars.
Overall, it's acceptable.
The guitar's good valued and it sounds good for most of the styles I play- jazz, blues, rock and some metal <-which doesn't sound very good with this.
