MGR/Max B « Epiphone Beast »
Published on 05/23/04 at 15:00Bought it off e-bay for £115, it was a christmas present.
The metallic red colour which I have on mine looks really cool. It more or less looks like an explorer but with a flat end instead if a rounded one. It is a great buy for £115, it looks great. The clean channel can sound it bit muffled by this guitar, but crank up the overdrive and it sounds raw and heavy. Great for metal players. It also works great through my Zoom 606 multi-effects pedal.
The guitar was more or less new when I first bought it, the action was incredibly high on it. The action can be lowered though but you may hear a bit of fret buzz at times. The muffled clean channel isn't that good either, the pickup switch seems a bit flimsy. Some players may also find the neck too wide.
The body of the guitar is very tough, I've dropped it a couple of times without hardly any damage. The guitar feels goo to play. You WILL need to have straplocks on this guitar if you intend to play standing up, they come straight off without them, which is the erason why I dropped it in the first place.
A great guitar for the money, a guitar you can really show off to everyone. I seem to have put more bad points than good points, but I'd still give it 4/5 for the money.
