I never write gear reviews, but I gotta do this for my pals at zZounds. Not only is it an easy company to do business with, particularly if something goes awry with a piece of gear. I bought one of these Epiphones and it arrived with a cracked neck. They dispatched a replacement the same day. When I got the new one, that was in stellar condition, I was excited right out out of the box. I’ve owned and played very expensive guitars but I could never get over the fact that this thing I was playing was worth entirely too much money, which diminished my enjoyment. The guitar I cut my teeth on was an Epiphone Tom Delonge signature. I popped a Dirty Fingers in this guitar and the resonance and power countered all the high-priced guitars I ever played. Out of the box, it was playable. Being a serial tinkerer, now it’s among my favorites. Epiphone is really stepping up their game by outfitting these new ones with good pots and tuners goes a long way. These are great guitars to use as a canvas. A little mod here, a swap here, and you can bang it around with some abandon. A winner all around.
