In 2020 the Epiphone has changed for the better, definitely! The feel of the guitar is much nicer than the earlier releases. The appearance is very cool. The maple top also looks very awesome, it has cool looking "wavy" 3D effect. Finally the head shape is now close to Gibson's, looks tasty! In general, the assembly is done with proper quality. Tuning holds perfectly, which was a surprise for me. A thicker 50s neck is great for those with long fingers like mine. :) In 50s version pickups have something middle between the mid and high output with vintage character, but its can handle any of your tasks. The sound became much closer to the daddy Gi :).
Definitely worth every penny and your attention!
Thank you very much Tomann for fast delivery and safe packaging!
