i really dig your phrasing, how is the action and string tension on that guitar, compared to a gibson? someone was selling one locally and i thought about purchasing it.

[ovohm]

very good playing, add me as a friend. SOunds better that most gibson takes I seen done on the Iternet. why are you selling this thing?

[MBString]

Awesome sound!! And how much was that guitar?

[MrWarzenegger]

@MBString

Hello,

its for sale in ebay.de now. If you are interested....

I payed 599 + 190 for the pickups. Best, Steve

[Hashishinscreed]

[MrWarzenegger]

Sounds like you play it... Humbuckersound...

[flowerdrop1]

sounds like a PRS

[IAreCrazyChris]

really you need a crap guitarist to listen to the sound quality...

Because this guy would send shivers down my spine with any guitar.

[novamongoose]

someting tells me this guy could make a 2 by 4 with fishing line sound incredible...

[rchevalier2012]

very nice man!

[21434gdvntg]

klingt schon erdiger als meine mit den standart-Burstbuckers

[miktas1994]

Hello,

well i am thinking to buy this guitar.. Do you recomend it?

Is the neck comfortable? Are the pickups good?

thank you..

[notpopebuthope]

Im Vergleich zu deinen PRS klingt diese Gitarre etwas 'gedämpfter' ... was aber durchaus seinen eigenen Charme hat! (Liegt wahrscheinlich an den Hölzern?)Anyway - Great Thanks!

[AnteMicko]

mach doch gleich einen Deutschen Review!

[satjathamma]

what is the wood in that epi?

[MrWarzenegger]

@satjathamma

All the same like a G....n. Only a veneer on the maple top. Doesn`t matter.

[xTristan1994]

No binding on the body? How is the nickel hardware working out for you? Usually I don't check with guitars that have goldplated/nickel hardware, I hate the oxidizing parts... But this guitar in particular is just too cool... Thanx in advance

[xTristan1994]

@xTristan1994 Will you please answer my question?

[MrWarzenegger]

@xTristan1994

Hello, it has a binding ( have a look at the Epiphone website) No problems with the nickel hardware. 50`s neck, not the 60`s slim taper, which is to thin in my opinion.

[xTristan1994]

@MrWarzenegger Okay thx. Maybe any thoughts on what to do with my nickel-oxidation problem? I really want this guitar, But I don't wanna throw all the hardware out!

[javierlucianif]

hello! this guitar is like the 1960 les paul tribute model?

[nirvana238]

klingt echt geil. Wie klingt die Gitarre denn mit den Burstucker Pickups?

[MrWarzenegger]

@nirvana238

Hallo, sie klingt dünner mit mehr Höhen, weniger druckvoll....Hoffe, das hilft etwas...

[MrWarzenegger]

@nirvana238

Hallo, mehr Höhen, metallischer und dünner. Anders, aber ist natürlich Geschmackssache.

Viele Grüße, Steve

[SlimfullSim]

Just got this guitar a couple of days ago, I love it as well. :) Nice playing by the way.

[MrWarzenegger]

@SlimfullSim

Thank you very much, have fun with it! Great guitar for a low price...

Best, Steve

[elaurie002]

Awesome tone. I like the stock Burstbuckers, but the LeoSounds are cool too. Although I think that might mainly have to do with your vibrato technique than the quality of the pups

[MrWarzenegger]

@elaurie002

Hello, and thank you very much.

As always, a good player can get a good sound with nearly every equipment. But I can really feel the difference in sustain and tone. The Burstbuckers are not bad pickups, anyway.

Best, Steve
