catnine Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 My EL00 case is supposed to blow into MF warehouse on the 22nd of Oct at least that's what they told me after talking to their buyers. I also noticed on the waist of the treble side of the guitar where it is black the finish is a bit odd. I can't tell if it's the black paint they apply in the sides waist or the clear they apply over it . It's like raised lines that go with the grain and I can feel it but to see it you need to hold the guitar at an angle so the light shins on it. I tried to take a photo but I get just glare no matter what I do. I can see it but the camera can't. I can live with it , it just bugs me . I guess you can't expect perfection for $299. Gibson is sending me a new saddle so I can raise the action a bit. As I said before it's not worth the hassle sending it back and hoping another one will be better or perhaps worse. The finish is not covered by Gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crust Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I haven't "beat on it", yet. I suppose I could...but like you said..."it's too nice", and yes, even though I might have a "few" more guitars than some, I did work hard before I retired to obtain subject instruments...too hard actually and do not "mistreat" my guitars...just a "figure of speech". Now, it's time to "beat" on my EL-00... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffenstein Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Cat, Look for imperfections in any guitar long enough (regardless of price point) and you'll find 'em. It's a guitar, a mighty fine one. Get it set up the way you like and have at it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I guess I look at a guitar as an "instrument" of performing music. A tool. The question always to me the past 35 years has been whether the tool was appropriate to the task. Prior to that it was, "Is this a nice guitar that looks like what people think I should be playing in this/that style of music." Bottom line is that in ways I think a really nicely set up Epi for how you play can be an excellent choice. This little guitar is a good example. Then again, so is the "package cheapie" PR4e that's 200 bucks with an inexpensive little amp that can run a mike and guitar at the same time. I'll not use a knife if possible when a regular screwdriver is called for. Yet both are similar enough in function to share some uses, and in that case either is appropriate. I figure pretty much the same when it comes to guitars. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodger11 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 that's a great reply I was looking at the PR4e and the wee acoustic amp - very cheap and the amp looks great would you recommend Milod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
