How are the frets ? And the feel of the fretboard is it rolled ?
having medium size hands im always picky with necks. The specs say it's a 50's medium C.
.87 at the first
.00 at the 12th which really is not the typical "fat" neck.
I stayed away from any neck that included "50's" but after playing the 355 @ GC yesterday, man I was shocked it was actually easier to chord and play with so much more leverage. Just felt closer to my fingers if that makes sense. Im a Gibson , Fender U.S.A. guy and never considered buying an Epiphone or guitar made over seas but damn man, never mind the bollocks just play one and youll realize there is not 2,000 dollars between this one and the Gibson.
Absolutely right! I have one in Ebony. Plays fantastic. I hope a Natural version will be released sometime down the road. Cheers!
have you had feedback problems with it at loud high gain volumes? Wondering if I can gig with it playing social distortion , Ramones style gain/distortion.
Great tone demo! Appreciate the closing words. Great advice Brother!
Wish they made the 59' in left-handed don't cars for 62 which has the slim neck.
