Sound: Fantastic sound from both pickups, the tone takes it from smooth to gritty with great range, 2 volumes and a master volume on the lower bout, with the neck volume up and the tone to the back. Not the usual thin sound of a single coil, but meaty and full. Great sound even unplugged. The Bigsby is smooth and sounds great even though a tune-o-matic bridge. No noise and smooth control knobs. Feature: Came with wrench and cable. The only thing I wish it had was separate tone controls. The master volume is nice and the Bigsby works great. There is no height adjustment possible with the custom p90 pickups. Ease of Use: Straight forward. I just loosened the strings, lowered the action a little tuned it up, whammied a bunch then re-tuned, and it was ready to go. Very nice neck and body feel. Great frets and no buzzing. Intonation was perfect. Quality: The only flaw was a stain spot at the base of the neck bottom onto the body at below the glue joint,from the darker stain used on the neck back. Hard to see, but there. The wires are very visible through the lower F hole. It seems otherwise very well made and dependable. The chrome parts look like a thick surface and not cheap. The flame maple looks very nice, although not a perfect match. The flame maple joint down the center is only really visible between the pickups. Value: This is a great deal for a great guitar! $50 cheaper than other major dealers, too. Even then, it is comparable to guitars costing twice as much or more. It reminds me of a Gretsch. Manufacturer Support: Zzounds was very helpful. No repairs needed. The Wow Factor: I lusted after it because of the dual acclaimed P 90s, the nice flamed maple color, the B 70 Bigsby, the master volume knob on the lower bout, and the metal on the headstock totally different than other Epis I have. I feels great, too, in addition to a great sound. I didn't need it, I suppose, but only had an SG Junior with P 90 and no vibrato. My other similar shaped semi-hollow had no Bigsby and was twin humbuckers. So this has its niche in my sound. Overall: I hope this satisfies me for a long time. It would be one of the last I ever sell. It plays similar to a strat, nice and comfortable with great whammy action.

Sound: This guitar sounds fantastic! It's a little dark but still versatile. P-90's are very expressive and you can get a lot of sound out of this thing if you want. Words can't describe it though, just watch this video of my band "The Trip" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYqvGC9KmTU It's a beast, you've got to work with the master volume to tame it. Feature: Master Volume control is all you need to get this thing going. Has all the features you could ask for. Ease of Use: Easy to use, again, just back down on the master volume pot if you have to. Quality: Licensed Bigsby, Grover Tuners, Flamed Maple top, mahogany body with set neck.. All for such a good price!!!! Had to threadlock the input jack and glued in the top strap holder because it kept getting loose. No big deal though. Value: Such a good deal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Manufacturer Support: Never had any issues, no support needed. The Wow Factor: This guitar is so sexy! The looks are stunning! Overall: This guitar will always be on stage with me. I don't see myself playing a gig without it. Seriously just watch the video I linked to above.

Back to Product Information
Sound: Absolute killer single coil P-90 wail. The P-90 is a legend for a reason. The small semi-hollowbody adds to its unique sound. As with others of this style there can be a feedback problem if played loud in a very small space. Good miking helps avoid this. The Bigsby sounds like a Bigsby but adds the problem of frequent tuning needed. Feature: No accessories except a very crummy "instrument" cable but it does come with both hex keys needed. The master volume is tits fer sure. Easy to use and "set it and forget it" with the added versatility of the3-way Les Paul style switch on top. Ease of Use: Very nice neck profile. Smaller body shape makes it usable by smaller players but it's not so small bigger players feel confined. Some neck dive maybe but I never noticed as I use lined straps only (suede or wool) and it's a lightweight as well. The gripes about going out of tune? Easy - don't buy anything but hardtails. Any vibrato or tremolo on any guitar is a tuning chore. Quality: Set up super before shipping. Grover machines? Genuine Bigsby? P-90 Alnico pups? It does not get any better, especially at this price! Value: Like I said above - find any guitar this well made of quality tonewoods and with the appointments this guitar has for even 50% more and I'll buy it. Manufacturer Support: Never needed it on this ax. Have dealt with Epiphone and Gibson before and always get answers even if Gibson takes awhile. The Wow Factor: This ax is hot. Even snooty "name brand" buyers openly admire its looks and many comment on the sound, the styling overall. Overall: I can't see getting rid of this guitar for any reason. Will I buy others? Sure. But this fills the spot for rockabilly/hard blues & blues rock very well. Would I like a Gibson 335? You betchum. Can't swing it. If this were stolen I would prosecute to the fullest and ask for the thief to be sentenced to play a Wal-Mart Special for life.

Overall: OK I friggin' love this guitar. It's gorgeous, sexy and sounds like you playing something special. It came from Zzounds set up perfectly and i don't know about they rest of y'all but the neck is perfectly playable for me. I can get bell clean bluesy and p90 dirt rocky sounds from thi baby. I'll be doing a lot of recording with this gem. This is by far the most guitar you will get for the price. Yes...of course the Bixby knocks my baby out of tune, but I'm going to have my guy look at it down the road and get it solved. This guitar is all good. The wires could be hidden better...I did it myself. To sum up, this is the coolest guitar i've ever owned...... and I've owned a Trini Lopez Gibson and a 1959 Ricky Capri. Of course the price contributes to my respect for this beauty, as it should

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
Sound: This guitar is perfect for country, blues, classic-current-and even hard rock. The P-90's deliever quite an expressive sound, very true to attack! It combines the sounds of 4 of my favorite guitars, a Les Paul, 335, White Falcon, and even a Tele! It is all in the knobs kids. By tweaking the tone and individual volume knobs you can either swing, or sting, its all there. Fo Rock or Metal players a noise compressor would be nice, cause it can feed back, but it really puts out aswell. Also locking tuners would be nice, that is if you over use the Bigsby like a Floyd Rose (which I have been known to do!). But overall from vintage to virtuoso it kills. The action is nice and fairly low, and it does require 10's, but I swear they feel as comfortable as 9's on the smooth wide neck. Feature: The features are great, the Grovers, Bigsby, Set neck, F-holes all a plus, and of course the finish, it shines. The knobs are the key, just remember. The pickups are not easily adjusted, cause they are dog-eared, and some folks may thank that the neck pick up is a bit muddy, but the middle position is what the guitar is primarily made to be on and then adjust your highs and lows from there. Ease of Use: Easy to get great diverse sounds, from Neil Young, Billy Duffy, Bill Gibbons, to Jerry Reed, Merle Haggard and Brent Mason. Quality: Great Quality, can't beat the price or features unless you spend from at least 3-5 hundred more dollars. Value: Great value, worth every dime. I bought this guitar and it blew my mind! Manufacturer Support: Don't know, never had to use it. The Wow Factor: Very Sexy, chicks dig it, guys want to have it. It is very curvy, voluptuous if you will, yet refined and classy. Overall: Overly satisfied, definetly what I was looking for and more.

Sound: Somewhere between a Casino and a Les Paul. I replaced the bridge with a Compton Compensated bridge, and the guitar opened up wonderfully. The pickups may require some minor adjustments to the pole pieces as well. After that was done, this baby ripped the place up. I saw many people complaining about the P90s in this guitar, I have no complaints, and they sounded great through a VOX AC30. The neck pup is nice for some creamy blues or jazz tones, and the bridge pup is very bright (almost too bright for my tastes) Oh, and the Bigsby has some nice long posts to mount the strings on, nearly double the length of other Bigsby's I have. Feature: No real accessories needed. The guitar is solid and has all the controls it needs for a semi hollow, dual P90 guitar. Ease of Use: Fantastic ability to get nearly every tone you'd want from a guitar like this. From rich, deep tones, to raw, gritty, swampy tones, you can cover them all. (I don't play metal, but P90's aren't really a metal pickup) Quality: The only complaint I have about this guitar is the bridge. It's not good in any way. It rattled, it was the only weak link in the chain. A good roller bridge or compensated bridge is a great way to really improve the tone, acoustically and plugged in. Value: This guitar is a really good value, especially since Epiphone dropped the price $150 from the original. The Wow Factor: To me, it's a great looking guitar, with it's own unique appeal, from the larger LP style body to the vintage Epiphone logo on the headstock. I think some subtle block inlays would fit the guitar better, but the dots are just fine.

Overall: Great guitar ! I purchased for my son and liked it so much I am getting one for myself. It has a cadillac like appearance with great classic sound. A little noisy but thats the P90 pickups with the vintage sound. Other reviews mention that it go's out of tune easy. I found if you hammer the Bigsby tremolo or push down on it to hard that is true. Both my son and I just don't hammer the tremolo and just use it for the vintage sound and looks.

Sound: This is a great guitar, i play a lot of classic and blues/folk style rock, and this guitar does it all. There are a few myths out there that this guitar does not hold its tune, i have found this to be false it holds its tune just as well as any other quality guitar. The best part about this guitar is the thin neck on it, and the action it is very versatile and easy to play. I would definitely replace this guitar if it was stolen.

Overall: GREAT looking guitar, balanced easily, smooth, flat fretwork. But the 'whammy bar' would only rotate about 30 degrees then lock up, tough to put into a case that way. The input jack nut was loose and now the tone pot rotates as you try to adjust the tone. Not a great 'quality product', IMHO.And speaking of tone: I plugged it into my Fender Princeton Chorus and unless I turned up the Treble to 11, it was incredibly muddy sounding. I've read about fixes for the 'mud'....new wiring through-out, swap out tone pot, change tone cap.....but don't have a local guitar tech I'd feel comfortable assigning these tasks to. My Strat is clean as a bell, stays in tune and is great to play. I am hoping that by gaining info from other owners, I can get these issues fixed and can add this to my guitar 'mix'. Am sending the guitar back to the local repair site in Emeryville, CA, after having it for only 2 weeks....not a good omen, but hopefully the ONLY time I will have to do so. Hope I can make this a 'keeper' instead of an 'also-ran'.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: Robust P90 sound... not quite as big as my ES135, but definitely an ES type of sound. Sounds good through a Marshall JMP as well as a Vox AC. I immediately replaced the bridge with a TonePro and was simply surprised at this little semi-hollowbody's growl. Feature: Read a bunch of negatives about the Bigsby and intonation being hard to get with it... simply not true or either I got a good one. The TonePro might've helped, but I think most folks review without proper expectations on a lot of things. The knobs are cheap as well as the toggle switch. The pots will also be on the chopping block when my electronics order comes in. I bought this giutar knwing these parts would need to be upgraded, so, no fuss here. It's a great guitar for $650 (guitar + pots, knobs, switch). Bought an ES135 style tailpiece as well after reading the stuff about the intonation problems. I'm not a big tremolo guy so I might just change it to mod this cat a little more. Ease of Use: It's a great little guitar... and for the money, you could do a lot worse. It helps fill a nice little niche in my lineup. Plays great after a good setup. No complaints here. Quality: Can't give her a 10 here because of the new car finish. This thing is loaded with clear coat... glassy smooth which probably robs the natural sound a bit, but maybe they do that to help hold the cheap wood together! LOL... Just kidding. It exceeds my expectations. I bought it from the blemished section of Zzounds and, again, very satisfied with this guitar. I'm upgrading the electronics and will not hesitate to pull her out when I need that sound. Value: Worth more than what I paid for it. Even with the upgrades it needs (IMO) it is worth the money. It's a solid guitar and sounds great. Coming from Korea, the pots, knobs and switches are the cheap stuff so plan on replacing for peace of mind. Not totally necessary, but doesn't hurt the thing and it's an easy DIY upgrade. Manufacturer Support: I've never had to use it for Gibson, Fender or Epi. The Wow Factor: It has sex appeal... not as much as my LP's or Strats, but it's a keeper. Overall: Very satisfied... especially getting another blemished piece from Zzounds that I cannot find a thing blemished about it. Not coming with a case is low rent, but, for $389 you can't go wrong. It was a whim buy just because I used to admire the Flamecat. I always told myself I ever saw one without the flame paint job, I'd grab it just to see if it measured up to its looks. It does. It's a great guitar to mod and do some things that you might think twice about with a reissue or premium ax. I'd recommend it to round out your sound choices. It definitely has the booming ES sound.

Ease of Use: Very easy to play, except for one thing... when you stand with the guitar, it tilts in the wrong direction. I'm trying to think of a way to fix this. Maybe weigh it down or something? Quality: Good quality except for the fact that it is not balanced in weight and tilts the wrong way. The Wow Factor: Everyone says it looks really nice or "handsome" or "sharp" or "pretty" or something like that.

Sound: P-90's are what they are and can get a set of tubes to really groove when cranked. Master volume knob, what's that all about? would have preferred a second tone control. Swapped out the stock tone pot with a Fender TBX and greatly increased the diversity of sounds this wounderful axe can emit. Feature: The original Bigsby is nice and became more user friendly once the Grover tuners made way for the locking Sperzel's. Again the Mstr. Vol. control is as useful as tits on a bull unless you only want one particular sound and never play more than one song (all my amps have volume controls) Ease of Use: Comes with appropriate size tools and well written instructions if a musician wants to play luthier. Quality: Was absolutely blown away with the appearance of this beast. Got the limited edition Tiger Stripe with gold hardware and the finish is flawless. Set-up from the box was quite playable (we all have our own preferences)with the neck being fast, flat and smooth all the way. The ends on some of the fret wires needed to be deburred but no big deal. Value: Well worth the money spent. Manufacturer Support: Have not had the need for support. Warranty registration was a breeze on-line. The Wow Factor: If they had only gone with an abalone inlay or even a screen printed logo on the headstock instead of the GAUDY metal piece. I guess the extra mass adds sustain and this baby sings. Overall: It's a keeper now. A very versatile guitar that sounds wonderful clean and can handle the overdrive as well as any (semi)hollow body.

Back to Product Information
Sound: I agree with most of the reviewer comments on sound. I expected it to twang , buzz and rattle also I expected it to make feedback because of the Bigsby and it was the sound I was after. I play everything with mine from Rock , Metal , Blues , Country and Rockabilly. Feature: p90's sound like p90's should sound , the chance of feedback is greater than most guitars I played but is controllable with tone and volume on both pups. Ease of Use: Grover tuners , Light Strings , Easy to use neck and frets are like butter. The twang/buzz from the tailpiece is rarely picked up from the pups. It is moderately heavy but a feather compared to my Explorer. You pick it up and you can play it like any other gibson/epiphone guitar it is ready to go. Restringing can be a pain the first few times but once you get a hang of it its like anything else.I suggest stringing it from outer to in both E strings first. I had to adjust my truss after the 10th set of strings so that seems to last too. Quality: No major flaws. SMall drop of glue on the rosewood first fret. All Wildkats have one flaw , the G string intonation is off due to flaw in the bridge saddle positioning. there is no known fix but 99% of owners will never know this. The body quality meshed with the one piece neck seems to flow perfectly with no crease bumps. Value: This guitar won awards for being a best value bang for your buck quality guitar. They are not making anymore for a few years so when the last new Wildkats are sold off the value will increase also it will increase more after the recession is gone if that happens. The Wow Factor: One of a kind guitar that turns heads like no other I ever played. Overall: First time I played it I was sold. Last time I played it was as fun as the first. I put over 15 sets of strings on this guitar since Christmas to give you an idea how much I love her. her name is Erikka btw....

Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

4. We make returns super easy

You have 30 days to try your gear at home, in your practice space or studio. If you're not absolutely in love with the sound you're getting, just let us know. We'll promptly arrange for an exchange or a refund without the hassles or hidden charges you face with some of our competitors. If there's something wrong with the gear you bought from us, we'll email you an electronic return label so you can return it easily and free of charge.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
