Re: New Epiphones starting to appear?

Thanks for that.

I'll see how I go with the stock strings.
Top wrapping looks interesting so I'll try that on the 10's first.

Just wish Epi would get the paintwork polished up and get them shipped.
Still, if they're making sure each one is up to spec, then that's good too.

Yep, patience often pays off...  I'd rather wait for quality then get a sub-quality product that was rushed.

Re: New Epiphones starting to appear?

Checked my status on UPS this moring.  It says my guitar arrived in town during the night and it's out for delivery!  It was also shipped on the 23rd and was scheduled to be here tomorrow.  I'm almost tempted to stay home from work today!

The fit and Gold finish are really good, the setup from Gibson was spot on....I guess the only thing to complain about would be the Signed certificate is placed under the guitar instead of being folded up.. The wrinkles will come out though...at least it is not torn and ripped.
.
I will never again knock down an Epiphone product..the possibilites are endless to upgrading one to perform as good as this one.
.
If I can get the girlfriend's camera..I'll put out some pics...

Thx again Joe/Gibson/Epiphone for creating another great guitar.......
