Mighty_Zoltan Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 COOL!! HNGD...How does it play, and/or Sound? CB beautiful !! are those Gibson minis like the rest of the '62/50 series have? I bet it goes from sweet to snarly with just a bit more pick attack! It was the only one out of the 50's reissues that didn't have Gibson minis but It sounds really great! I guess that was why it was $500 instead of $800. I was going to switch out the pickups immediately but they are actually pretty awesome. Feel wise the neck is really quick, and slim. Not as slim as my 68 Epiphone Casino (the ones they call toothpick necks but for me the best neck on any guitar I own) but not as fat as my Firebird's "60's slim taper" neck (and obviously nowhere near the size of my Jr's "Baseball Bat" neck). The guitar is super light but resonates really well. I'm also surprised that the trem is actually really solid and usable. Weight and neck wise it basically feels like a nice SG. Pickups are not as chunky as P90s or PAFs. Bit less bassy but really "tight" sounding (I mean that as a plus). Hard case is awesome too. I used to have the Epiphone Wilshire reissue without the Tremotone and this is definitely a step or two above that. For the price it's a bargain. It's almost on a par with my non reverse Firebird studio which cost more than twice as much. Upgrades wise I'm about to switch the plastic nut for a proper one plus probably roller bridge, pickups and wiring. It sounds awesome but I want to push it over the edge!

Mighty_Zoltan Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 Very nice. Where did you ger her? Online or local store? Online. They'd been sold out for months but Sweetwater and a couple of other stores randomly got one or two in last month. I was bummed to missed out the first time so glad to get one on this pass.
