![]() Good hardware, good electronics, GREAT humbuckers. I find NO flaw or problem with this NEW, CHINESE made Epiphone at all.it is as solid as my old standby Korean made Epis and maybe even a bit better. I am still setting the pickup height because I have not quite got the exact chime I want from the bridge pup, but I can not recommend this guitar highly enough.įWIW, I change out the factory TOM bridge for a GOTOH on all my Epiphones and most Gibsons because GOTOH's are a far better design - very solid with NOTHING to rattle or come loose, wider for more adjustment as needed, and IMO sustain slightly longer. It was set up by a tech while I was watching, and I got it home and did it again, after replacing the factory TOM bridge with a GOTOH, oiling the fret board and installing a set of Ernie Ball Nickel Slinky 10's, top wrapped over the stop bar. If you have ANY interest in a 335 type guitar, I really HIGHLY recommend getting one of these. I was attracted to the Alnico humbuckers with coil splitters as standard equipment, and I found one in Ebony, and I jumped. But I was really attracted to Epiphone's ES 335 Pro, and found the Limited Edition version of that guitar for sale at a good price around Christmas, so I ordered one online to be shipped to the closest GC, about 40 miles away for pickup. ![]() I don't buy many new guitars, because I long believed the "old ones are made better" theory.
