CNJ Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 NGD - Epiphone Slash Anaconda. The guitar was set-up well right out of the box. Took delivery in the store in case there was an issue it would stay right there. Impressions; fret ends were nicely dressed, action low, no buzzing, all notes ring out nice and clear. The pickups are, I believe Epiphone Pro-Buckers. I did comparisons against my Gibson Standard, Gibson Classic, and Gibson Studio and found them to be lower in output, but a bit more articulate than the others, however, the Gibson's all bark with more authority. The neck profile is between the Standard and Studio. No doubt the Gibson counterpart of this Epiphone has better pickups, but I'm happy with the purchase. Sings pretty good with a Tube Screamer into a Fender Twin. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mihcmac Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 The Slash Anaconda is a beautiful guitar, with its Slash designed Custom ProBucker Alnico 2's. I guess I could install humbucker sized P90's. I agree with Big Bill and Kelly that I can't convince myself of no new guitar need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
