burlyblack Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Hi, I'm a newbie saying hello. Amongst other guitars I am a new owner of an EL00/VS. I find this little guitar to be a real gem and find it hard to put it down once I play it. Just wondering what other's think of their's -BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thawk Dean Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I bought mine used about 9 months ago. I love it. I play it as my primary git. I have a PR350E that I also love playing, but that little parlour guy is just a joy and easy to play. BUT, after I got it, I took it in for a setup. The action was WAY high according to Epi specs. I also had a new saddle (Tusq) put on. It was amazing the difference in the playability of it with a proper setup. I initally put D'Addario Flat strings on it. But they made it a bit toooo mellow. I went back to conventional strings to brighten it up a bit. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine. Keep It Fun, Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burlyblack Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 upon purchasing it,as my others, I get tusq saddles installed and the action lowered. Initially I had installed d'dario lites and with the new guitar I found the sound a bit sharp. I changed to silk and steel and that mellowed the sound quite a bit. Once it opens up substantially, I'll probably go back to regular strings again. I'm glad someone else is enjoying theirs also BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
