    It really does have a different sound from a Gibson J-45 or J-50. Clearer, more percussive.
    Maybe more snappy would be a good description, but it still has the presence of a Gibson
    on the low and middle strings. I'm impressed with this Epi, truly.

    I bought a ‘64 Texan after spending an hour A-B-ing it with three mid fifties J45s and there was no contest. The longer scale makes these beautifully punchy and the low end began to seem non-existent on the Gibsons. This guitar will have you WRITING songs, they just have that indescribable quality...

      I always wondered about that and I can't get any good answers from Google. Besides the tension does the longer scale have any advantages as far as Tone.

    • @guydude6546
      @guydude6546 Před 5 lety +1

      Guitar ocd I don't know if an advantage, as long as preference goes, but due to the larger tension it requites a bit more strength to play, which results in a more snappy and responsive sound, sort of like a single coil as compared to a humbucker in electric guitar
