I just got my blue one today..It sounds amazing! Action is decent, tone is great, and I play it through a 25W Gamma amp. (if you don’t know about Gamma amps, look into them. They are amazing amps, and the 25W was only $100 at Musician’s Friend. it has a 10” speaker, and 2 channels, and the 2nd channel has 4 distortion levels that sound better than my Marshall Valvestate upstairs.) I also have a Gibson SG and just wanted a 2nd guitar to just grab downstairs real quick. This Epiphone is HEAVY! Not as heavy as a full Les Paul I guess, but it’s a hunk of wood!
Thanks! I just can’t find a single fault with it! Everything is straight and level, I got good intonation, and was able to lower the action to near my Gibson SG! Maybe the tuners might be considered the weakest link, but they work for now. Love this guitar! @@Nov95
I agree. Mine doesn’t have anything wrong with it. Maybe some locking tuners as an upgrade but it sounds fine to me as is. We get what we pay for. $200 and it holds tuning well, it’s an Epiphone which is great. They make good guitars. I’ll check out the gamma amps
They aren't the worst guitars, i'd say on par cost and quality wise as a Squier Affinity series. Requiring a setup out of the box for sure. But don't expect a standard Les Paul. It is a bolt on neck, body shape is lighter/thinner. Lacking individual volume and tone controls for each pickup, generic tuners
Yeah it is pretty heavy, i was thinking about sawing off the wood above the pickups and bridge.. is there any sort other way wiring that would get in the way?

No problem. I was jammin on the epiphone tonight, sounded awesome

The blue looks cool, has some flame maple. It’s a nice guitar for a good price. I enjoy playing it. Lots of fun. Congrats 🤘

I’m not sure about that, but maybe take the pickups out before you saw into it? Sorry
