its my first guitar, and for a first guitar/practice guitar, its pretty nice for the job. mines alpine white, with the pick gaurd bein black. two humbuckers of course! i realy like. however once me and my band start doin gigs and shows, im gunna look into buyin a better one that ill use for that, and make my epi my practice guitar. the only thing i dont like bout it, is that i was fuckin retarded and didnt get mahogony wood. i didnt no bout it back then(lol) so i got a cheeper wood thats easy as fuck to dent! i have to be careful when i walk with it or set it down on something. other then that, i aint complainin!
