Gibson Epoch

[overthehill]

I own one,nice little LP much like an Epiphone Special II only a little plainer,black with creme binding and pup rings,2 chrome covered classic humbuckers.With a good setup it plays almost as good as a more expensive GIBSON,it's a little on the heavy side but I think this contributes to it's low mellow tone,it's targeted at beginners but easilly suits more advanced players too.Very good for it's price range, less than 150 US

^^^^on point. This little "cheap" beast has it all. Action is high, but with a thorough set up (took a minute to get it just right) does she howl. I know Gibson states the pups are Classic buckers, but which Classic? They resemble, and I repeat resemble "Skatterbranes". Heavy? yes, but to me the weight is perfect. True, craftsmanship is lacking, but there are workarounds, and they're worth it. I challenge anyone to purchase this one, and try to stay away from it. I have a Fender, a couple of Squires, and a beast of an Ibanez, but for whatever mojo is in this thing, it's been the ONLY one in rotation. To me, the neck feels exactly like the AR30.

After you set it up, let your Ears be the judge.....nothing else.
