intellivised Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 ...I took my alpine white re-issue for it's first gig with my new band. It was a big event (200-300 people + all the girls from our new roller derby team in town); it went better than any first gig had a right to go. The guitar did exactly what I wanted: got a lot of "what is that thing?" questions and looks. Really distinctive. The instrument performed admirably and got high marks from other musicans - esp. considering it's price. From my usage I can tell a few things: - It stayed in tune quite well now with a new set of strings, it's original set didn't do very well. I'm using EB Heavy Top/Skinny Bottom. - The electronics on this thing are horrible and need to go. I have a 10 band MXR EQ I run through my effects loop and hide in the back of my amp that squelches the squealing but this needs a complete 100% top down overhaul. So... my $.02. I'm waiting for a DVD-R with our pictures to show up in my mailbox and I'll throw up a picture of it in action if anybody is interested! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tulsaslim Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I'm never surprised to hear about the crappy hardware. Anymore I change it out immediately upon acquiring a new Epi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
