new guitar

I've FINALLY got the epi that i ordered.  it's been an nightmare and a comedy of errors. damaged,wrong style,wrong shipping address, ect. but it's here. out of the box, it was set up very well but i took it in to a tech and "dialed" it in some more.  folks, the dove is a masterpiece of playability.  the fit and finish is incredible. it has a voice that is very "Gibson". it beats my tac all to heck. it will never be a gibson but, for $300, it is most impressive. it fits in extremely well with my martin d 28. if you're looking for your first guitar or your twenty   first, you would do well to give the epi dove a look. bends, hmdwns and pull offs are a breeze. and sustain! whoa. the only down side is it's so good that i might have to find a cheaper guitar as this one is definitely NOT a beater. i might even put a baggs under the bridge. hmmmm.   p.s.  welcome back chordie. had me ascared for a bit and i ain't ascared of nothing. except for my wife and her two cats.  <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif" border=0 alt="Laughing">
