Frabrique in Japan late 70's, it is already very very beautiful, and for me is the icon of the folk guitar internationnale. it is a myth! I'm 24 years old, this guitar belonged to my father before I was born (although he used only six times), I learned to play over 9 years ago, I use at least one hour per days (very least) I've never done RULES, and despite that the frets are still very good (no buzz as g have read a few times), and all notes, all of which ring true , none has dsaccorde over time, it's awesome! and yet the blows it received!

UTILIZATION

The neck is incredibly comfortable, neither too late nor too wide, ideal! While Access in acute're not easy, yet it is not hard to make them sound. ergonomics is exeptional, it lets easily navigate, and very robust enough lgre (but do not martyr either!) Even if it takes a minimum of force to make it sound, because n ' is not a guitar for beginners although it has been the case for me, who's fate is legendary, I dtail below.

SOUNDS

Here is his strength that I prfre! Sound, not a blade mtallique, is above all very hot but still hides a great agressivit dedant (yes!). Whether you play the Beatles, the Stones, the dadi, agreements have the kinks heavy, classical, traditional music (I'm Corsican) or flamenco and reggae still (do not play in the goldman or palmas, it not love, she suffers) it will do a Manir phnomnale. Let me explain: I am a disciple of the LOW ... I'm serious served! play on the bass and it will not give serious pd (apprioris desolation), the low E is impressive (dsaccordez in the r and play the bass or the dear prudence of come together, you'll see it ' gift is!), it looks like an acoustic bass (some do not, certainly not me)! It has excellent natural rverbe, which RVer. The treble can be when they have very dry, which can be let go of a solo keith richard's Premire PERIOD ie very sharp or very rhythmic reggae arrangements. But move your mdiator or fingers toward the center and, to a dry one passes a very warm sound, you want to play the jeff beck PERIOD planing, ideal for solos lover! Or even jazz, but I too admit essay!
I read reviews that the sound was not great, I think we should take a trip to think mchant ca (but beware I respect)! So that his level of happiness (all my friends to scratch, the apprcient normment, yet they have ovations or Takamine, (not the same)). it is the hearts (ok I stop)

OVERALL OPINION

In DEFINITIONS, is a exellent choice this guitar, it differs much from other models by a very sound particulire identity, which allows it to dmarquer style. I tried many other models, Fender: not terrible, takamine: excellent but too classy, ​​not enough personal style, you want to dessuite a suit (that is my own opinion very subjective, attention), ovation: I do not like.
I RPET for the guitar that, in all objectification is the big quality it's not for nothing that Macca is one, surely! It accompanies a beautiful voice Manir (Whatever your tone of voice!) And again, it too the class, she is super nice! I very very strongly the council! that's what I hold dearest in the world with my b. ..! (And yet some will say that I need much, but it's like that, it Exceeds the more expensive it. Even though there are probably better, everything is relative)
ps: I work not for epiphone.
