Description
This guitar gets a lot of play time for its versatility and how easy it is to pick up and start playing.
I've always been drawn to Epiphone Hollow bodies ever since my first guitar teacher who played a red Epiphone Dot. Truth be told that was exactly the guitar I was looking for at the time but when I played this one I fell in love instantly. Maybe it was the beautiful headstock inlay that I'd never seen or maybe it was the fretboard inlays. I'm not 100% sure but it felt great to play and I had to take it home (but first stop for dumplings on the way to celebrate).
I've since done a few modifications to it to make it my own:
I've since done a few modifications to it to make it my own:
- Replaced the tuners to these antique style (I never liked the rounded grovers)
- Hand made rosewood pickup rings for absolutely no reason
- Added a mini toggle to go into split coil rather than push pull pots
Added then removed a Howard Roberts finger tailpiece but it was so heavy
This guitar gets a lot of play time for its versatility and how easy it is to pick up and start playing.
