Topic: New Acoustic

Hi, where has everyone gone?  default/sad  thought I'd better get signed back in, Here is a picture of my new acoustic Epiphone EJ 200, this really is a lovely sounding guitar, and plays nicely considering it is strung with 12s, took a bit of getting used to but I've got it now and will probably keep it strung with 12s.

Re: New Acoustic

Hi Alun

Looks great and great to see you back on the forum.

Is this just acoustic or semi acoustic? I will look forward to hearing how it sounds on your recordings!  default/big_smile

I think I may have 12s on my acoustic - what gauge would you previously have used? I bet the tone of those thicker strings is great sounding?

I have just got a new guitar but I will start a new thread on that!

Re: New Acoustic

Hi Olly, it's completely acoustic, I use 10-47s D'Addario phosphor bronze on on most acoustics,  but only ever RotoSound super bronze contact core 10-50s on my Yamaha acoustic.
But your right about the sound of the 12s on the Epiphone,  they sound amazing, I will put a clip up in the next couple of days,  default/smile

I do like Telecasters


My black Tele is great, named her Greta. I wound my own pick ups, took for ever, but well worth it.

I will put a recording up shortly.

Re: New Acoustic

Very impressed that you wound your own P/up's, good to have your own sound, I have the American Standard Tele, and the other one you see is the Squier Classic Vibe Custom, by Fender, it's made in China, the build quality and finish is second to none, I would Highly recommend this guitar it's equipped with Alnico V p/up's, the neck is slim and very fast straight out of the box, at £300 you couldn't build one like it, give them a look, the whole Classic Vibe series are excellent.  default/smile
