£206 including shipping from Thomann! :)
Since having a '64 Epi Olympic, which I ended up selling because the neck was extremely small, I've like the 60's styl Epi's. I fancy the full-on custom shop one, but £2500 is a bit steep.
Now they've released these cheaper ones, so at the price Thomann are knocking them out at, I couldn't resist.
I've also been interested in mini-humbuckers since seeing the Tokyo Dragons.
It's made in Indonesia, excellent quality, played well straight away, nice enough pice of wood, good fretwork etc. It's very light, which I like.
The pickups are ok (bridge) and poor (neck), being ceramic and too hot. the bridge manages ok, but the neck is pants, so I'll be swapping those out anyway, It's got a nice bitey SG-like tone, but still has good punch. I imagine it'll only be better with a set of alnico V 6.5k mini's in.
The colour is the Aged Cherry, and it doesn't show well in the pics, but it's almost identical to the top of the '64 Epi I had.
