The guitar came from Mars Music of
Cincinnati. My son bought it for me for a father's day present so I don't
know the purchase price of the instrument. I had been trying out Taylors
Guilds Ovations and Takamines. I'd honestly never heard of the Skunk. Man
what a surprise! Beautiful sunburst finish incredible neck gorgeous trim.
But then THE SOUND!
The Electar/Shadow electronics offer both
standard and XLR outs coupled with full EQ and on-board pre-amp. Besides
that unplugged it sounds like a classic Gibson acoustic. The Skunk has
blown away my pals both in the studio and on the stage. Probably the only
criticism possible is that the tuning keys aren't on the same scale of
quality as the rest of the guitar. Seeing as it was set-up at the Gibson
Custom Shop Gibson couldn't give the store away. They have guitars to sell
too.
Honestly the box itself is truly top notch.
Excellent craftsmanship. I'm sure if I knew the price I would probably
make a lot of friends sick who are playing top of the line axes like
Taylors and Takamines. The Skunk emblem at the 12th fret, the inlays on
the rest of the neck and lastly; tasteful signature on the headstock make
this a truly exquisite guitar. It is definitely a player's axe! I was
truly surprised by the quality of this guitar.
Epiphone has retaken its place as a proud
member of the Gibson family. The hunk of junk days are obviously over.
Guys who are out there nervously playing gigs with that cherished Martin
or '62 Hummingbird march down to your local Epiphone dealer and demand
that he get one of these sweeties in-store. It could be the answer to your
nightmares.
And by the way the tuning keys don't suck.
