Epiphone IGC Amethyst Sparkle: it had to happen…
Bought a beautiful Amethyst Sparkle Epiphone IGC on impulse. It had to happen: fret issues, a wonky truss rod, and a trip straight back to Thomann. Still rate the IGC series, just not this one.
The Honest ES-355: Why an Epiphone Isn’t a Gibson (and Why That’s Okay)
THE NO-NONSENSE HOOK (Recommended) Is a 1,300€ Epiphone actually worth it? Or are you just paying a premium for a "deliberately handicapped" version of a Gibson Custom Shop? I dive into the Epiphone IGC ES-355 to see if it stands on its own merits or if you're better off saving for the real thing. No snobbery, just the truth.
