SONORITS

For me it fits everything my style of music, I wanted to have a guitar sonorits approaching Nick Cave, Mark Lanegan ... A E minor a shot Bigsby and the fact .. .dropoff window
I play on a Marshall JCM 2000 TSL 100 with a Electroharmonix smallclone.
In the clear has sounded very much full of wealth (neck pickup and bridge) in crunch with the same combination then the microphones has rings ... super enjoyable to play on I get tired! In the lead is nice but I not serve too, on the other hand for the fans to play the noise, emo, post rock (pickup) I played compos watches and has made it bold enough degeulasse ... interesting!

NOTICE GLOBAL

I for 1 week, and I am very happy.
What I like most is the clean / crunch and I think it will defend very well. The price quality ratio is good. Epiphone has a good reputation but it has its detractors too ... I for one had a bad xperience with this brand, despite a I trusted them again and I regret it, so yes I would do this choice!

UTILIZATION

My model is antique natural, a little straw
this is very nice to play on the fretboard gibson les paul typer with yellow paint it makes a nice contrast with the keys to the visual
22 box its very accessible, the body is very similar to a les paul, but with all little more width in the ass, the weight is correct, for it is the cross between a casino, and are 335 is a great guitar despite its price

SOUNDS

it very versatile I tested in different musical styles and make an assessment:

jazz, flat fillet angelico November 50 very good momentum, its soft, warm and cozy

rock / pop / metal / hard rock, ernie ball cobalt September 46 very good presence, but the potato distortion of death due to avoid feedback dizzying

surf rock / Latin / Tex-Mex / irish, dean markley vintage reissue September 46 his deep passes well in reverbs without being too runny which weigh in acute
the all through my Danelectro nitfty fifty and my Marshall 4 × 12 and equalizer at noon

OVERALL OPINION

this guitar is a gem not hesitate to be tested as will be little cuop lightning,
you do not stop to do whatever epiphone (beacoup men jazz, blues men, Beatles ... plays on the brand), or that it is manufactured in China

call you back just a point and the machine is a country whose traditions millennium want the art to reproduce is a real discipline, the Chinese are very demanding and miticuleux this art, if you have a contractor who has not produced a single requirement expensive then this product will crappy in China or elsewhere, but gibson china send a party of his staff to manage factories, The stipulations are the same when Europe or America, but not the cost of labor works .. . if gibson / epiphone want good Chinese instruments can do, and cheaper than elsewhere

I purchased this guitar from Musiciansfriend.com. I buy all of my guitars and amps from them. I own four electrics, one acoustic electric, one acoustic, and a banjo. Great company and they pric match everything. I paid $499 for this guitar. It' the most expensive piece of my current repetoire. I bought this guitar because Epiphone guitars are incredible for the price, there built like rocks, and the Wildcat just looks awesome.

This guitar is superb. The action is as low as you can go, and the fretboard plays like butter. Has a set neck, which is nice. I love the natural color. When I bought it, I thought it would be more of a solid yellow because that how it looks in every photo. Actually, though, you can really see the grain of the wood. The tailpiece and hollow body just look sharp. It sounds great, too. Dual humbuckers are powerful and LOUD. I have it hooked up to by V-AMP and a Marshall Amp. Just Sweet.

The ONLY thing I'm not crazy about is changing the strings. They're difficult to replace due to the fact of how the go in...a minor pain.

This Epiphone, like all, are as solid a guitar as you can find. I have a Special II, a G-400, the WildKat, and the PR5E (Acoustic/Electric). They are all solid and built well. They are not cheap. they are professional quality.

Bottom line? Forget any doubts you might have and buy it. You won't be disappointed. I can't give this guitar enough praise. I've owned it now for two years. I'm never satisfied reading reviews from people who have had a guitar for two weeks...being new there is still excitement and love which may cloud their true perspective. It's just sweet.

bought at Motor City Guitar $555.00 w/case.


This guitar has the sweet sound of P90 pickups.It is antique natural,and very comfortable.A small bodied semi-hollow bodywith a Bigsby style tailpiece. Alot of bang for the buck..It plays all styles of music with ease and doesn't seem to need amp settings to be changed too much. I play through a Peavey Classic 30 amp,and they seem to be a very good combination.I have also played this guitar through Marshall,and Fender amps.No problem.

It has two single coil pickups,but is very quiet. I am amazed by the quality,and tone,and most everything about it. It does tend to squeal a bit at High volumes..But it took me alot to get it there. Unless I stand RIGHT in front of the amp.Then obviously it will feedback.But that is common sense,and all guitars do given that situation. No real surprises from Epiphone on this. Just a quality instrument at an affordable price,with sweet tone,and style.




My only complaints is with the switches and pots they put on this guitar.take the time to upgrade the pots,and you will be happy. the knobs seem to be just thrown on.I.E.:they are on crooked,and wabble when turned. But for the price,and considering the rest of the assets I can't kick too bad..



Good construction. No visible glue or finish flaws. the finish is on smooth,and no runs or buildups to be seen


For the money the "Kat" series of guitar represents a great value.The AlleyKat is cool too.But I prefer the P90 sound,so this is the axe for my tastes.It has replaced my Gibson les Paul,and my tele as my working guitar.If this thing were lost or stolen I would be fast on the trail of a new one. It is so sweet to play,and to hear. The sound is so nice. Distorted or clean,it shines. A solid guitar buy. Check it out.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very comfortable, very good access to acute, and the guitar is well balanced. It is actually not too heavy, but this remains in the hands and shoulder.
Nothing like a toy, it's a very beautiful and good guitar, even if the finish is not perfect (I think to the gills, which could have benefited from better treatment, and the cables that leaves more guessing through those famous gills).
The acoustic sound is not violent. It is audible, but not this type of game it is intended.

SOUNDS

Conviennet sounds perfect for my style of music: blues, rockabilly, hard rock, metal and even while going very well. It has a warm sound, which he knows to be slamming when necessary. I plugged into an H & K Attax40 (amp transistor) through a noisegate, compressor, distortion (metal muff) and Wah (V-Wah).
The Feedback is a little annoying, think cutting the distortion at the right time, but the sound is always superb!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year. I loved its appearance, the presence of the Bigsby, and I tried almost all models of archtop this price range. This is the one I found most interesting.
The value was exceptional.
This choice I would do without hesitation.

Made in Korea (South!) 22 frets, 2 P90 pickups or gretsch type (?), 1 volume + 1tonalit micro, gibson type selector 3 position, original Bigsby bridge

UTILIZATION

Okay, so this guitar a violin irrprochable, a handle type gibson es 135 classic al is a semi hollow body half so there's more comfortable, but I have no problem from this point of view l. It is relatively lgre (compare a BB King Lucille!) Trs enjoyable play.

SOUNDS

At first the audience is the live by Epiphone rockabillystes (imitation Gretsch) but usage, it is not. It's a good guitar Blues Rock. It must be said that the microphones with a big dose of distortion in addition to a squeaky feedback ultra sharp ds that do not play! I rsolu the problem by replaceable by Gibson P90 (Thomann!)
l. .. and I can put the big Fuzz no problem! (I'm plutt noisy blues). In the light / crunchy, perfect. The Bigsby is trs beautiful and participates in the sustain ... but the accuracy is nonexistent! forget ... I do not use. Having said that by putting mcaniques wraps must be solve the problem. I also exchanged the saddle in a PLASTIC bone nut.

OVERALL OPINION

I for 1 year, APRS these changes (micro / nut) you end up with a great guitar! bought 500 euros (160 euros + 60 euros of P90 and laying nut). Mine is blue cadillac, to love ... I play bluesy rock noisy (R deep draft agreement) and I have sound with it! (And also a marshall lamps ...) Otherwise, the Bigsby is galre to change the strings ... She's beautiful and classy, ​​trs good violin, but good investment compared with the semi hollow gretsch correns

Made corrée, 22 frets

UTILIZATION

Handle more that nice! we 'reports on the first take in hand, it makes you want to play . the access to the treble is a bit limited, good sound until the 20th has to bend and cargo, worth mieu Get off at 18th.
the weight and shape of the guitar are perfect, neither too heavy nor too large.
you can get a sound quite notament suitable for jazz or you have a well rounded especially on the low, after, after the amp you have, it may surprise more than one I think! personellemen, I use a peavey vieu transistor and a sound I like a lot

SOUNDS

A very good guitar for jazz, rock (not hard of course because the popping sound is not pronounced at this point) and even the blues! Wildkat the res is really versatile and allows to have fun for all styles of games.

OVERALL OPINION

J 'depui uses this guitar about 10 months at least three hours a day and I' m tired! what I like most about this guitar is first and foremost its sleeve, offering unsurpassed comfort, and the general shape of the guitar.
when I have bought cettte guitar, I 'props not very good guitarist and I don' know very little, I have therefore taken for its aesthetics without really paying attention to his sonoritées, and today, I realize I do not follow me wrong!
value for money is exellent, I have to try guitars in around 1000 euros and I do not really find them more qualities than this.
a choice I would do it again without hesitation!

Buy the good guitar
