this quitare has impeccable craftsmanship outside and inside: quality components, welds nikel, shielding the cavity (rare at this price)
as I changed the push / pull, I took the opportunity to change the capacitor (orange drop) and rewire so 50's ...
UTILIZATION
the neck is very fast and very cozy, typical of Epiphones
access to acute is optimal, given the shape of the body.
the weight level, the Wilshire is very light (more than Strat or Tele)
to have a good sound, it's simple, you plug it sounds!
SOUNDS
light, overdrive or fuzz, sounds of thunder, clarity and depth are waiting for you ...
it can sound bold or light depending on whether or not split pickups, the middle of the toogle switch position soon proved indispensable and opens a field of sonic possibilities extensive ..
In short, what a pleasure!
I play bass with a kustom amp and a tube amp Marshall of overdives, tone bender, FUZZFACE and delays ...
OVERALL OPINION
I've had a week and this guitar has plenty of resources through its push / pulls
What is the particular feature you like best,
the look, the sound, the light weight, the price!!
the least?
Nada
Have you tried many other models before buying it?
strats, Jazzmaster, Telecaster, hofner galaxy, les paul
How would you rate the quality / price?
