Customer Reviews
5 out of 5 (191 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Buy this guitar. It won't let you down."
Sound: Despite the low price point, this guitar is very much stage worthy. The sound is clear with an immense growl and serious punch. While the sound is dedicated to being incredibly dark, it somehow manages to do justice across multiple genres. This guitar is extremely playable. When you see below what I paid for it right here on zzsounds, keep in mind that it is both blemished and was on labor day sale. Feature: Most useful: As someone who very much prefers to use a thumb rest this guitar is perfect. When I bought it I was concerned over wether or not the pickups could be used effectively as thumb rests but I took the plunge anyway. It turns out that the pickups are contoured with great care to accommodate a resting thumb. Past that, there is a ridge carved into the guitar that can serve as a thumb rest that runs the length of the body. This allows you to rest your thumb absolutely anywhere on the body allowing you to easily create more dynamic sound without fiddling around. Least useful: While I like the bridge well enough, I have yet to figure out of to adjust string spacing which may not even be possible. Further, I know for a fact that it is not possible to adjust individual string height. But don't look at these as deal breakers! This guitar is so playable it doesn't bother me. As another plus you can adjust overall string height with the tiniest turning of a single screw. Ease of Use: The sound this beast produces is fantastic and highly distinct. Quality: So far this thing is solid as a rock. One thing to note: This guitar is humongous. Even the headstock is substantially larger than any I have ever seen. After unpacking it the first thing I thought was, "Does this double as a Kliningon weapon?". Be careful with it or you might knock something over or put a hole in the ceiling. Not that I consider this a downside. It is this unique styling that makes it an object of physical beauty. You will get a lot of compliments regarding the guitars look and presence. Value: Oh my yes! Manufacturer Support: Haven't had to deal with them. The Wow Factor: Extract answer to this from previous answers. Overall: I am comfortable enough with the high quality of this guitar that I now fully intend to drop $500 for the pro model at some point in the future. However, I am so satisfied with this guitar I don't see justifying that purchase for awhile. Maybe next spring\summer. Also, I may now be dedicated to Epiphone bases in general.

"The goth Thunder-bird packs a punch! For it's price it's a bargain! Good feel, Good tone, Good vibrations!"
Sound: This bass the goth T-Bird I just bought is one surprisingly punchy bass,So surprised that I had to write this review! It doesn't have the brightness that I hear from most active bass guitars but if you want a solid sound on your notes this bass has it. If I were to compare this bass with a precision, my personal oppinion I think it's punchier.I've played this bass thru a mark 1x12 combo and also thru a marshall 2x12 combo w/15" ext cab and they both sounded good. If you were to add a sans pre-amp direct box it will brighten your day or night! Feature: No, Noaccessories inclued. The features I liked best were the neck it feels real good it has good balance. Again it could use a little more on the bright side but thats my personal preference. The bass is good the way it is of course, if it were active maybe that would take care of the high end issue. Ease of Use: Easy to get a good sound depending on your style of music. With a little adjusting and a sans amp your good to go. This bass is very comfortable. When I saw the shape I thought it would be very arkward but it does have a good feel and is very playable. Quality: The product is made good for it's price. Maybe I shouldn't say this but I"ve own gibson basses before like the EB3 and for cosmetic and the sound was just as good and it even looked better except for logo you see a gibson logo and you automaticly think high price better bass. Right? Not all the time.Anyway I wound up take the gibson back and I'm very happy with my EPI EB3. I own a 1973 fender jazz,a 2003 musicman, a 1970s Hofner bass,and a customized fender tele, and epiphone is alright in my book. Value: For it's price its very worth it. I'm inspired to buying a 5 string T-Bird honestly! I love the sound and the feel! Manufacturer Support: Never dealt with companies nor their warranties sorry. The Wow Factor: The T-Bird style bass is Rock history! Of course it looks good!It's everything you want in a rock bass. If you are a good bassist you can incorporate this bass into any style of music. It's a beautiful bass! YES! Overall: I buy basses and if I don't use them enough I turn around and sell them,this one staying with me for a while I'll probably windup buying the TB 5 string. I have been looking for a 5 string to fit my taste and if it sounds anything like the goth with a little more clarity I'll be very happy! I about ten bass guitars right now and I love messing around with all of them I probably won't wear it out. If it ever got stolen? I would probably cut my losses and not very much either right? I like the feel and solid tone but it lacks high end.
