Ooo… depending on the price of those, I'd seriously think about getting one as a backup for my V…

[Transcend]

Theyre £419 according to google shopping.

I'm definitely considering one

[Loomer]

$%&#, that is horrendously cheap.

Might even pick one up someday at that pricetag, and mod the cr@p out of it.

The Gibson is nice too. I for one haven't lost faith in Gibson yet, but I still like where they're going with this.

never trust an Epiphone, unless it's a natural finish and after checking the entire body
they're good at hiding a dozen body pieces and basswood/alder/mahogany/plywood mixed bodies

[Ratrod]

Body wood doesn't really matter that much with EMG's.  :lol:

[ericsabbath]

true  :lol:


but the fact that they do that even in the most expensive models really pisses me off
you pay $700 for a supposedly professional level guitar that is built like a 70's $50 pawn shop guitar
