A long time ago in a music shop far away i played my very first gibson les paul, i used to say, "they are just over rated" was i ever wrong.. shortly after that i decided if i wouldn't buy an epiphone and i would just wait to have the money to buy a gibson.. i stuck true to that. i never owned an epiphone in my life.. until yesterday.. i've wanted a 3 humbucker guitar for a while just to add variety to my collection, and scrolling the local kijiji pages there it was, the epiphone g400 custom. so i decided id be in the area ill check it out.. and thats when i got the warm fuzzy "first gibson" feeling again.. i used to shun epis because.. well everyone else did.. i dont know about lower class models but this guitar is amazing, he bought it in 2006 and hasnt played it since so the hardware is in rough shape, but im changing most of it anyways. I was expecting a warped neck, terrible action, some bad buzz somewhere.. was i ever shock.. i dont think ive seen a straighter neck.. absolutely amazing.. i played it for a short few minutes and it was sold. no regrets. just thought i'd share this little narrative with you folks, overall moral; you shouldn't judge something before you really know what its like, and you never know what youll find when you take a little chance.
