Geeze - what kind of entry is this ?? In the past 2 years I have 2 Epis , A Sheraton 2, ( a "2nd" too ) and one of the new Les Paul Special SC TV Yellow Limited Edition models . I love 'em , love 'em , love 'em ! It's sad you are not happy with your Epi's ... hopefully you will find nice models like I have. I think Epiphone is a God-send , really , as most quality instruments cost an arm and a leg....( thousands sometimes ) , but Epi is makeing great stuff for 1/3 the price ! Try to find one of those Les Paul Special SC models that just came out ( TV yellow and translucent cherry ) - they have P90's and are soooooo sweet ! Cheers !!!
