Members Dash4814 Posted February 26, 2011 Members Share Posted February 26, 2011 Seriously nice guitar. Got it as a gift from his girl, said she paid $200 even for it. Finish is beautiful, flawless and sharp. Grover tuners are solid as a rock. Heavy as hell. And it sounds great! Amazingly rich full-bore, but it mellowed nicely with the volume knobs rolled off. I don't normally like Epi LPs but this I would play the hell out of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fusion1 Posted February 26, 2011 Members Share Posted February 26, 2011 I guess these have an import version of the 496R/500T Gibson humbucker set. Anyone know how close they are to the originals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sxyryan Posted February 26, 2011 Members Share Posted February 26, 2011 I had the gothic thunderbird bass. It sounded and played awesome but after logging some time on it... the finish looked so bad. Like it wore in, but not in a pretty way. I can't stand Epi's satin finish after a couple months of hard playing, particularly the black and other dark colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fiveoclockhero Posted February 26, 2011 Members Share Posted February 26, 2011 You don't hear much about those anymore. I guess they still must be around but a lot of people seem to have forgotten about them. It's cool his girlfriend got it for so cheap. Glad you enjoyed it.
