An excellent Epiphone. I had a 339 a few years ago that I eventually sold due to lack of feeling, but this signature model is really amazing for the price paid. First of all, thanks to Woodbrass who sent it to me set up, that counts a lot in the discovery of the first minutes with a guitar. I just had to lower the action, a matter of taste. The guitar is beautiful. Although I'm not a big fan of "Dark Wine," when you discover it, it makes you dream. The handling is easy. I want to specify that this model has a neck with an amazing "Slim C" profile. I have very small hands and I was unpleasantly surprised - at first - by the first handling. The neck is certainly thin but fills the palm of the hand well. However, I am very comfortable in my playing, in a few minutes I went from "damn, I'm going to have to send it back" to "what an exceptional neck!", it remains a personal appreciation. Otherwise, the guitar is a bit heavier and more massive than my favorite Telecaster, but I mainly play sitting down and it remains lighter than a Les Paul. In return, it has a great sustain that impressed me. The pickups are really excellent and very balanced, you can very easily get the sound of Oasis's first 2 albums with a slight overdrive. The case provided with the guitar is of excellent quality, also beautiful. The frets have no defects and do not catch, the Indian laurel fingerboard is perfect. One can regret the rosewood, personally it doesn't bother me. If I had to find faults, they remain minor: the tuners feel "cheap" as well as the "witch hat" knobs, one of which, the treble pickup volume, was poorly positioned and resistant to touch when unpacked. In the end, it's a quality guitar that I will keep with great pleasure. Thanks to Woodbrass!... (Show more)
