epiphone acoustic

[dave robinson]

Epiphone make some good stuff Peter, I noticed James Bay played a couple last night on Jools Holland Hootenany.
I have an Epiphone single pickup solid SG type bass in the studio as well as a P-93 Riviera, they stand up to my Gibsons at a fraction of the cost, I don't understand how this can be either, I just enjoy playing them.

hi all happy new year my aj 220s arrived and it does look really nice. played it a bit but the action is way to high, neck seems set ok so will shave some off the saddle. I have been looking at video's on the net and a few of them show that lots of new budget end acoustics are shipped with shims under the saddle and after removing them height seems ok, so will check that first. but first impressions with quality and finish ect are very good. looking at the invoice I paid £99 including postage and vat so price after that was appox £82. the guitar is far better than that price range doesn't make sense to me. peter

I bet you that adjusting the truss rod will knock a couple of millimetres off the action at the twelfth fret!

Never cut until you have proved that adjustment won't work...

I have an Epi 'Les Paul' & a 'Casino Coupe' ( smaller-bodied version). They are both well-made guitars & good to play. We all know that they are probably only a third of the price of the Gibsons they are modelled on, & you do get value for money. It can be worth upgrading the electronics to your own preference. I have installed a pair of Wilkinson Vintage- style PAF humbuckers in my 'Les Paul', & this made a great improvement in tone.
