Freddie King Style (breaking in my Epiphone Lucile pt.3)

Seems I discovered that my webcam can record in 640x480 (doh!).

Trying out my new Epiphone B.B. King Lucille. Going thru a handmade Zendrive clone "Zingy Drive" (my 'signature' overdrive pedal :) ), a T-Rex Replica (a brilliant delay pedal) and into a Mesa Boogie .22+ Studio Combo (with an Eminence Red Fang speaker). Bridge pickup, Varitone switch on 1 (no freq cut), Elixir .009-.042.

Playing over a Lick Library backing track (from Three Kings Of The Blues), playing a Freddie King style solo from that instructional DVD, to make a sound sample/test for Lucille. Lick Library DVDs FTW! (no, I'm not getting paid, I just love those DVDs!)

how does it play? :O

[leozingy]

@bluesboydude It plays great, I took the guitar to a repair shop where it was set up nicely (lower action) and a week ago I had the pickups changed to a DiMarzio Bluesbucker in the bridge position and a Seymour Duncan Jazz SH-2. I'll upload how it sounds now really soon.

@leozingy aw nice! but do you notice any diffirence between the gibson and epihpone bb signature?

[leozingy]

@bluesboydude Yes, there is a HUGE difference in craftsmanship. The Gibson is a lot easier to play (softer strings, easier to bend), it's a bit heavier and a lot sturdier. But I can't afford it yet... so the Epi is good for now :)

And it still has the sound I'm looking for, that's good enough for me.

@leozingy aw ok. by the way. that E on the pickguard is that a sticker?

[leozingy]

@bluesboydude Yeah, easily removable. I got Robben Ford to sign the pickguard after a seminar last week in Italy. :D

The two people that disliked this probably think Freddie is BB's little brother

[bluesboydude]

@leozingy NICE! epiphone really gotta work on their ugly guitar parts :P like the headstock.

@Guitarszekely If you haven't bought a guitar already, my advice is to first try out a lot of different guitars and amps and choose which one you like best.

[Guitarszekely]

I like to buy a guitar, and I can not choose which, think of what a better guitar, epiphone shertaon 2 or epiphone BB King Lucille ??? (sorry for my english i'm hungarian)
