Steveuvdic Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I just purchased my first Epiphone product and have to say how very pleased I am. I have been playing guitar since the age of 8 and am now 58 and not sure why I never considered buying a Gibson or Epiphone. The action on the neck is phenomenal, the finish is flawless and the sound is great even through a basic 25 watt practice amp. I know that strings are pretty much a personal preference, however I was was wondering if anyone had any experience with that guitar as far as the " perfect" string. I'm looking for a light gauge with good sustain etc... I would greatly appreciate that any members would have. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeman Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Congrats on the guitar! I've had my g400 for 12 years now and it's still going strong. I use Ernie Ball 10's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steveuvdic Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 I really love the split coil pick ups. Able to get interesting sounds . The thin neck has great action as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteWilson Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I really love the split coil pick ups. Able to get interesting sounds . The thin neck has great action as well. I do too! However, the best sound for me is to split the bridge pickup, but not the neck. Enjoy that new guitar! I am loving mine! Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
