craigb Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Is it New Gear Day already??? ? Must be. I just went with my roommate on Friday as he picked up a sweet Epiphone SG Double-Neck (in Wine red). The 12-string side is worth the whole price! Though it IS weird playing a guitar where the necks seem heavier than the body which makes it more difficult to play (reminds me of the old Kramer's that had an aluminum neck!). Good looking guitar Grem (aka Michael)! ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) That is one pretty lady! Congrats, man. And it comes with a pair of Gibson humbuckers?! Amazing. The Epi headstock is always a bit of hit or miss for me but on this guitar, I think it works perfectly. And I also love the ivory-type tuners (I prefer those to regular chrome ones, personally). Had an Epi Riviera that I really liked, although it wasn't on the high end like this guitar. After the car accident that messed up my shoulder, I noticed I couldn't play big guitars anymore so I had to sell it. But man, I wish I could at least try one of those ES-335! I'm sure it sounds as gorgeous as it looks. Enjoy! Edited October 24, 2022 by Rain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grem Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share Posted October 24, 2022 The neck on it is much thinner than I thought it would be. Feels really good all the way up and down the neck. Sound is fantastic. I wasn't expecting such a rich and bright sound. Surprisingly the tremolo bar works really well so far. I mean you can hear the effect of it and it hasn't fallen out of tune or any strings getting stuck or "flexing". The pics really doesn't do the color justice. Digital cameras don't do red well. But it is an excellent cherry red. I haven't really got to bond with it yet. That will come in a day or two. I am extremely pleased at the quality that I have gotten from my two Epiphone's. I only have one small complaint with both of them is the frets are not polished enough for my taste. Very small detail!! Other than that, both guitar's frets are smooth on the edge and all sit flat up against the fretboard. Nut is gauged for the size stings on them and don't stick or bind. Binding on both guitars is really good. Smooth and well finished. @Rain I also like the tuner heads too. They do look good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
