Great! Thanks for your answer, Israel. I nearly bought a gibson ES 335 for five times the money loosing my economy. Don´t ever need more than the Epi sounds. But, they aren´t availible at the moment in Germany, have to wait. Keep on rockin´, Martin.
gracias hermano... tengo que tocar en 2 dias y me diste muy buenas ideas para este tema que la verdad me tenia confundido en cuanto a la linea que podia darle. exelente ejecucion y buenisimo sonido.
@osensei2987 Of course i know, and i agree. I play for many years, in rock, jazz, fusion, and besides the legato effect, so dear to guitar players, i love sonic explorers, like the first great one Jimmy Hendrix, Bill Frisell and others. For me the most important thing is music, sound is each musicians voice..
I think it really is (its not perfect cause its not full hollow body, it's semi-hollow,so it means its best of the both worlds), check other utube videos that have the clean jazz sound that you are looking for with this guitar.You can get that sound with proper strings, amp , amp settings cables and FINGER TOUCH with this guitar :)
Yes, Considering I can play the same styles convincingly on my Les Paul which is a mahogany solid body. Any hollow or semi hollow with humbuckers will most likely give you the tone you're looking for. Honestly, I think its more about the player than the equipment. But assuming you are a great player some guitars will get you closer to the authentic tone. Once you can hear the subtle differences in guitars however you will naturally gravitate to the ones that do the best job though!
israel soy maria moreta una alumna tuya que tuviste en la escuela de edith!!!q tal todo??yo muy bien estudiando arte drmatico y sigo con canto... donde se te puede ver actuar??un beso
Now i ordered one from online store and she came Made in china instead of korea and completely out of order. So I send it back, I´m through with Epiphone.
What year did they move to China? I have an Epi that I bought in 2006 and it rocks! Anytime you move factories though your going to have production and quality issues do to the retooling and retraining of the workforce. To be honest I'm really damned tired of US companies offshoring every job they can and expecting laid of American workers to buy their shit! As far as I'm concerned they are a foreign company!
@somiberico Really! Distortion is not a new sound for jazz. I know purists won't like it. But allow me to explain what I mean. Jazz has always been dominated by horns. Horns have sustain out the whazoo (because they are wind instruments) and also can string together nice long legato phrases. Historically, clean jazz guitars lacked these traits and could not compete with horns. Distortion and sustain allowed guitars to phrase like horns for the first time.
