the pickups sound amazing, and goes with my jvm410 very well, it wasn't set up though, but I didn't expect that. then I noticed a crackle were the neck joins the body. it went all around the from the binding to the back of the neck to the other side of the binding, then i looked at the package and it was pretty damaged on one side. so it has been sent back to get a new one.
the goods
-amazing pickups
-neck feels great
-i love binding all around the guitar
-locking tuners
the bads
-the binding was a bit rough on one the sides on the neck, almost greenish/yellowish
-wasnt setup
-bad design flaw on epiphones, they paint over the neck joint, so over time it will eventually crackle at the neck joint
the features for 900 euro are great: amazing inlays, binding, tiger stripes etc.
overall pretty good bang for the buck, maybe i was just unlucky with the first one, i hope the second one doesn't have any damage
