Groovedoggie1 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Sinner, I'd love to know how you like that Firebird when you get it home. I keep waffling on pulling the trigger on one. Never held one in my hands, so I'm not sure if I'll like it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinner 13 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Sinner, I'd love to know how you like that Firebird when you get it home. I keep waffling on pulling the trigger on one. Never held one in my hands, so I'm not sure if I'll like it or not. Well Playability on this one is awesome, and I love Epi neck to begin with. Once they are set up, they rock. As that it is modded I have no control to compare it to tonally, but with past experience being that Epi stock innards are crap, I am sure it is a overall improvment. It did how ever make a 100w super lead stand up and take notice, so I am stoked to really light it up through my half stack. (78 Fender bassman 135+Avatar "Blues Breaker" 4x10 with Celestion 30w Ceramic mags and a Way Huge Fat Sandwich.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalep Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 [quote name='rdsmith3' timestamp='1313690442' post='98870 dalep - are those your kids? Nice family. My kids would not be able to resist holding the guitar. Yes, those are part of the herd. The little one is learning play. They both have their own though.

Gary Moore Tribute Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 For that kind of money (£300 here) for me it has to be this http://www.epiphone.com/news.asp?NewsID=2000 The recently released NIGHTHAWK Custom Reissue, it just has that lovely blend of 9 tones inc fender light brights thanks to the coil splitting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcooper830 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I've heard so many great things about the Epi LP Traditional PRO. I want one in Wine Red. That would be my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Graves Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 I've heard so many great things about the Epi LP Traditional PRO. I want one in Wine Red. That would be my favorite. Have been playing those. I like the korina model way better, but they're very nice. The best Epi LP I've seen. EG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfinguru Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I've heard so many great things about the Epi LP Traditional PRO. I want one in Wine Red. That would be my favorite. I do love those Red Wine versions. I had my eye on one of those for a good long while but ended up with a "clown-burst" instead. I've since had it set up by a local luthier and couldn't be happier! Oh, and I got it on sale for $429. Bazinga! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldhippie Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I've got to go with the Wildkat. I paid $399 for mine a couple of months ago, they're now up to $499, but this review says it better than I could: http://forum.gibson....wildkat-review/ Just an awesome guitar for the $$. YES I own one as well and I love her The Wildkat is my beauty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireroadeddy Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I would have to say the Korina Traditional Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaSTuS Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 No such thing as a $499 Epi in Oz, unless you count the juniors and low end stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzoboy Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 When I play my $500 Trad Pro through my JCM 800 2204 stack it sounds like a million bucks.I had it plugged into my Blues Jr. for the longest time and it just sang the blues and jaz chords.I currently have it plugged into a 1981 Traynor TS-15 solid state and it really can blow you away through that little amp even though it only has 2 -8s and 15W.The Epi Trad Pro sounds so good I can see no point on spending over $3,000 on the Gibson version as it couldn't be that much better than this guitar to warrant spending that kind of money on it.
