Oh nooooooo! Epiless for the first time.

[Mr. Bill]

Just sold my Epi Riviera. This is the first time I have been without an Epi since I started playing guitar again. The Riv was so well made, but had that doggone skinny neck I just could never get comfortable with.

 

You have to wonder how well they will continue to do with the flood of Chinese guitars (of course that includes EPi) coming in at a lower price point than the typical same style Epi. I have a Chinese made Ibby and the quality is spot on and it plays like butter. I also have two Chinese 335 style guits, both cost less than $250, although they did require some fret work, nut replacement and in one pup replacements. Even on the one requiring the most work, I still have less than $400 in the guitar.

 

Now if Epi would just make a Casino with a chunky neck I would be back in business.

There shall be others (hopefully!). What style of Neck do you

prefer?

 

 

 

And since your post had the right elements (all in good fun) New,

Chinese Gits, Some needed work, etc. [biggrin] :-

Couldn't resist the pic....

For some reason I can't get it on with solid bodies. (ooops) What I meant to say is solid bodies feel smallish.

 

Anyway I prefer hollow and Semi's and have given up on buying any more solids except for a lap steel. But one never knows what will be introduced in the future.

I only own three Epiphones 2 guitars and an amp I would not part with any of them and the necks suit me fine........

 

 

 

My Sheraton, Zephyr and Pacemaker..........I will never be Epiless

ZepReg has a neck like a baseball bat, very 50's, and way bigger than a Dot.

Unfortunately I already have 2 other 335 style guitars and they have nice chunky necks, but I have seen some of the newer Dots and they were really nice.

I am a Hollow/Semi person. All the solid bodies feel like toys to me.

I like the florentine cutaway but not much of a dot marker fan. I like big fat block markers kinda like in your pic there.
