Emily The Strange Epiphone Guitar

This stuff is very very cool, if i were guitarist, i would buy this guitar. This guitar have Awesome finish! Big Emily collector who plays music or band player must have item. My friend penot, he is guitarist from The Mad, Indie creative pop band from Yogyakarta, Indonesia , sold his Ibanez RG and then buy this guitar.
These are his review about his Epiphone Emily
Features :
"This guitar was made in 2005. It has 22 frets. You get 2 Volume, 2 Tone and 3 way. You get two humbuckers It's an SG body style. Came with a original Emily's gig bag and strap.
Cost me about the cost of the actual G-310"
Sound :
"It sounds pretty good. I wasn't used to it, but I made some adjustments and it works fine. I'm using a Boss GT6 effect into a 300watt Marshall Cab.
Its very quiet, i usually have the knobs at 10. I only play the neck. It sounds a hell of a lot better for some reason.
It's a basic guitar with a super cool graphic"


Action, Fit, & Finish :
"It was set-up okay. I didn't have to do too much to fix it up. The pick-ups were okay. The bridge was way too high and the streets we're atleast a cm off the frettboard. it was a hasstle to change that.
its very light, which is the reason i bought it. and also the graphic is awesome. The graphic is probably the best thing about this whole guitar. IT IS AMAZING. they put these swirly stickers onto the speed knobs, and they peal off."

Reliability/Durability :
"I've played this guitar live, but it went out of tune after a few songs, so i had to switch guitars. The hardware looks okay, i usually smash my guitars at performances, but i think i might just keep this one. super good looking. the finnish is lasting pretty good. the neck is huge thou. way too big. i ended up sanding it down and repainting the back of the neck."
i would use a back-up with any guitar.

Overall Rating :
"Overall, this guitar is the exact same as the G-310, just way more worth the money. Its a limited edition. Its an awesome graphic."
