Bought it based on looks alone. I didn't realize it was a new model. I've had a couple sc p90 epi specials and that was gonna be my next purchase until I saw this. I didn't have any humbucker guitars and have been needing one. It arrived and I immediately top wrapped it with 8's. Almost too slinky at first but I quickly got used to it. Set up was unplayable out of the box. Bridge and tailpiece were way too high but nothing to complain about because I was gonna top wrap it anyways. Frets are gonna need a little attention eventually. I'll wait until the wood aclimates to southern Arizonas lack of humidity all the way so I don't have to do it twice. It is already my #1 after just playing it for a few minutes.( Over a Duojet w/p90's, a Mim Strat and a Mim Tele). I'm always very impressed with Epiphones. Have had some stolen and foolishly sold some. Eventually I'll put in lollar imperials but it really doesn't need them. I also considered a prs se McCarty single cut but I just can't handle the birds. I see no reason to spend anymore on anything else as good as this is.
