Nice looking little Epi' there James, hows' the action? Those strings look mighty close to the frets, should be an easy player. First time I ever saw one with hex screw clamps to hold the strings down to the nut like that.

I hae a ratty old Fender Mustang myself, bright red of course.

It was my first electric and compared to the steel string "Epi" that I was used to twanging on, was pretty fair, much easier to get a tone on without fuzzing the sound except when you got way down on the neck for the high stuff. For some reason it gets sorta "fat" closer to the body, but I have figured it out over the years, just have to change your hand position a bit. Watching Joe Satriani videos helped, that boy can wail.

"Cat Scratch Fever"

Gee, it always took me at least a couple of days to snuff out a set of strings, have you tried the new titanium ones yet?

Andrzej
i have played many guitars in my 5-6 yrs of playing and this is one of the best, even compared to gibsons, it has a real nice action, nice sound and a stable termolo,
my last guitar was a les paul, hence lespauljames,
but im sticking with that name cus its catchy
