Members GAS Man Posted April 1, 2008 Members Share Posted April 1, 2008 Just yesterday I returned this. and ordered this I wasn't getting tones out of the Faded V that I needed. Nice fat crunchy tone, but I couldn't get it to sing the blues for me. Maybe just me, but after trying it out for a week, I sent it back. But I have to admit, it felt pretty comfy, even sitting down JJ. It should arrive back at www.wwbw.com by Friday if someone's looking for a deal. It was sold to me for $449 + tax, and there was nothing wrong with it, i.e no blems or particularly sharp frets, etc. My original inclination was to go with the Epi Korina V, I think that actually would be more to my liking, but this 50th Anniversary model got me GAS'n.

Members GAS Man Posted April 1, 2008 Members Share Posted April 1, 2008 i dont suppose anyone has anything nice to say about the epiphones have they? BootsRoots is proudly picturing one above as is JJ. I've long wanted to add one to my collection. I have the Epi Korina Explorer and I really like its tone. The limba wood is quite resonant and the pickups have a nice vintage warm deep tone to them. Not crunchy, but more bluesy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya know, I never thought to look on the S/N to figure out the date. But since they were doing a clearance, it'd be a safe bet that it was an '07. Not a bad guitar, it just wasn't me and I have plenty of guitars that can get a good crunch. I was tempted to hang onto it cuz it's hard to find Gibsons for $449. You might want to give them a call and tell them it's on its way. Tomorrow if you like I could give you the Fed Ex tracking number so you can watch it arrive back at Woodwind and Brasswind - South Bend IN I treated it with care, even wiped the strings down after each play with a Fast Fret. It needed a slight truss rod tightening to reduce the neck relief and get the action lower. I gave it a couple short turns and then the action was dialed in pretty nice without even touching the bridge. So it's now in better playing condition than when I received it.

Members BASSDAD Posted April 2, 2008 Members Share Posted April 2, 2008 That would be great! I already emailed them that I wanted to know if they got any faded V;s in stock;) How was the fretboard at the point where it meets the neck wood? I've played some w/a definate ridge. How'd this one feel? I'll try to call 'em and snatch it up. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
