Members titovanburen Posted May 26, 2006 Members Share Posted May 26, 2006 HOLY SCHNIKE-EEZ IT'S ALREADY HERE! Its beautiful..I haven't had time to plug it in yet, but so far me likey! the one thing I was worried about was there being snags on the fretboard where the frets stick out (pet peeve) and I am satisfied with the smooth neck. Other things I noticed right away is the paint- its really shiney. I prefer minimal clear so the body can resonate- they really get the sucker wet, but it looks good. it says "epiphone custom shop" on the back also , the neck profile is nice and fat! I think this will be a keeper for sure. I'll get up some pics and a better review of the tone later. Im anxious to hear the p-100. been achin for a p-90 guitar. they say the sound is virtually the same with less hum. I could care less about hum though I want pure unaltered tone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titovanburen Posted May 27, 2006 Members Share Posted May 27, 2006 I was gonna write some more about it, but it looks like nobody here cares, so I'll go back to playing it.... I will say this: the sustain is good, I was playin it through the amp and I kept thinkin my cell phone in my pocket was vibrating because the guitar resonates so much.. I like that! so in conclusion: this thing rocks! and it's so purty I'm glad I baught it, now I've just got to pay it off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bjcarl Posted May 30, 2006 Members Share Posted May 30, 2006 Thought I'd bump this and see if there were anymore responses...I'm worried that this is just the same guitar as the standard Epi Jr, if so, there's no way I'm spending the $...

Members titovanburen Posted May 31, 2006 Members Share Posted May 31, 2006 I'd post some pics but I'm having troubles with my digicam. Its a niceley crafted guitar. I've never owned any korean Guitars before this, nor did I want to. But this is Nice. The frets are done well. The tuners are good. I don't know how to intonate a guitar with a wraparound bridge, so luckily it came set up pretty damn good too! For those comparing it to the other epi JR with the bolt on neck: THERE"S NO COMPARISON! This one is made of solid wood and has a p-100 pickup. The neck is set in and it has better tuners. IT is a good value, and the fretwork exceeds my expectations. When I get a working camera I'll post some pics I promise.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bjcarl Posted June 2, 2006 Members Share Posted June 2, 2006 So anyone know what the difference between a P90 and a P100 is? (Yes, I'm familiar w/P90's...I own a guitar w/them, but I don't have any experience w/P100's...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members L6Sguy Posted June 2, 2006 Members Share Posted June 2, 2006 Originally posted by underblu does the epi r57 have the long neck tenon:thu: theres only seven guys in the whole Gibson corp that even know what 'long neck tenon' means. and three of those guys know 'cuz they own old Tokais.
