Considering that upgrading a regular Epiphone with Fishmans and locking tuners would cost over $300 I think these are a deal!
@BobbyBriscoeBeats3 жыл бұрын
I've got the fishman fluence in an ec-1000 and it's a beast! I like the look of this better, but I'm going to just stick with the EC until I save up for a gibson. The fluence pick ups are so awesome. Super nice paf, incredible hot rod, and crisp coil split.
@brianpartlow55302 жыл бұрын
The good pickups are $200 each. The good tuners around $100. That's $500 to upgrade a cheap epiphone, plus labor if you take it to a guitar guru to do the work. I priced it all the first time I heard my guitar humming. I think the best thing to do is play my cheap guitar, get better at playing, and save up for my total upgrade. I'm a broke pay check to pay check guy so I'll never get a Gibson but Epiphone does make some high end stuff that won't break the bank. Other companies make affordable guitars too. I have a $200 Jackson guitar that sounds great. It would be perfect with better tuners. It jumps out of tune after using the whammy a few times.

@@brianpartlow5530 I’m in the same boat but a strat guy. I’ve had this Mexican made strat and it’s amazing. It has been through a lot. Got stolen, recovered by the cops after a pawnshop reported it. Got stolen again later found at a bar and then returned to me. It’s fallen so many times off of couches downstairs you name it but it’s still perfect. For some reason it stays in to no matter what. I can’t explain why it has such a good sustain naturally, i’ve compared it to other guitars in the same range and similar range and it just doesn’t make sense. The pick ups are a little weak and I’m starting to have fret buzz on the high Estring third fret. When I was a kid I wanted a expensive guitar and my dad said “what’s wrong with the one you got? If Eric Clapton picked it up when he sound good? Why can’t you sound good on it?” So I stuck with it, but now I’m adult and have a job and can finance my fist “real” guitar. I’m looking at this one because it’s unique and would expand my style.
