Jx3 « Incredible ratio Q / P »
Published on 07/22/11 at 11:33This model made in China, I believe.
Format some hybrid small / big butt! This is not a 3 / 4, but it is relatively small. I do not think it's a Parlor as such, but it inspires.
I turned the ugly logo on the pickguard €, matter of taste ... it may appeal to some.
For spec, I invite everyone to dig here and there, it's not my cup of tea too, apart from the general appearance shown above.
Guitar very simple and well finished excellently for the price, really. This is what I like in the first place for a guitar at first
Guitar bought € 211 from Thomann, impeccable as usual at home.
UTILIZATION
So now, if you try this guitar store, you might (unfortunately for Epiphone) to be disappointed: pourraves strings, action too high (for mine anyway). In short, big mistake of the manufacturer, in my opinion. Makes you wonder if he really wants to sell? or that this beautiful guitar is a hidden treasure? Strange ...
So here, direct Martin Bronze strings 12-54, filing (specific attention) of the bridge saddle, a small 1 / 4 turn on the trussrod ... and then Bingo!
Channel ultra pleasant feeling Jazzy (reminds me strongly of my 1958 Gibson ES 125, if so). Tuning very stable, enough weight so I think, but it's not annoying, the guitar is very well balanced, and its size "feminine" love is good. Very sexy indeed!
To feel (not in sound) is really close to my Martin is 6 times more. So, I not say that to please the future potential buyers, it's my feeling ..
For me it's a big 10/10 after the niceties (all my guitars have undergone a slight tinkering with the purchase, regardless of the range), especially at this price, almost ridiculous in my opinion
SOUNDS
Got the Blues? You Have It! It rips, no other word. There is a kind of natural compression which is at the rosette, and you can clearly hear the sound, harmonics, escaping at the bottom of the box, which considering its size quite excessive, resulting in an effect a little resonator. I do not know is very special, but super fun.
A "drive" natural suits very well the Blues, actually, but the Jazz. The neck is very fast, low action without buzz, it allows to go into great delusions Wes Montgomery, Benson ...
Pus and it works very well for the agreements also brushed, not project it as a Dread, but it is not (I'm sick when I read slowly trials which slows the guys because there's no the "boom" ... a Dread)
I think qu'Epiphone was very hard on the violin, there's no photo. I plan to change the nut / bridge / studs plastoc (as many apparently), for the noblest of materials. Just because the improvement is certainly notable for a few € more, and it is well worth the small intervention.
I even have a project that keeps running ahead of his guts to stick a microphone in the spheres be-bop. Anyway, must go and see my maker ...
Then you you doubt: 10/10.
OVERALL OPINION
I've had 10 days, purchase a small guitar for cheap holiday, well I tape two hours a day on it. Big plaiz I not expect that.
I can only advise. But as always, in my opinion. He who wants to make Johnny Cash will not find their account may not (and still .... it takes up no space traveling to the U.S.).
In the end, I feel like a guitar that is worth much more expensive in terms of quality and service.
Well done Epiphone
