A good buy--my opinion. Full chorale sound of a 12, and a fairly slick action.
I had a Vox 12 back in the mid-sixties; similar to that save that the Epi seems
a trifle heavier in the body. Good balance on the lap, deep bass from a light gauge
bronze wound string. The neck a bit wider, thicker than my old ebony LP custom--
has to be for that forest of strings, which will take a lot of getting used to.
Fretwork is high for my taste but should wear in as frets always do. After almost
fifty years of guitar work--mostly rock--it's nice to just ease back and listen
again.
Tip to those breaking strings: bring them up to pitch slowly, over a couple days
if necessary, longer if need be. And when changing them, use a bit of clarinet bore oil on the fingerboard. Rub it in and then wipe it off well. I've had my
Les Paul 35 yrs, and couple others nearly as long, and use it every time I change strings.
