How was it? I am no real help here, I was looking at that myself so my answer is BOTH!
Sinner 13 Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Personally I wouldn't pay $400 for an Epiphone when I get can get a nice used Faded for around the same price. Seriously? I have an Epi that will whup the socks off a faded/studio, and it was only 400 bucks...... And older Korean/Japanese Epis are superior to most lower level Gibson's produced today. (Ducking as the Sh!t hits the fan....)
cabba2203 Posted January 4, 2012 Author Posted January 4, 2012 Nice. I already have an SG Special faded "worn cherry". That's the one I'm in the middle of building. YouTube reviews of the Epi look tempting.

And older Korean/Japanese Epis are superior to most lower level Gibson's produced today. (Ducking as the Sh!t hits the fan....) I actually really dig some Epiphones (Casino, vintage acoustics, etc.). I played a 60's/70's model J200 (don't remember the exact year) and it sounded as good as any Gibson I've played. $300. Would have bought it but didn't have money with me that exact day and I wasn't the only one interested in it.
