Ooh, tell us more!

I recently picked up a nice Mexican-made Fender Telecaster, it's a lovely thing to play. The build quality is pretty much just as good as my American built Stratocasters, the only real differences are the fret tangs are visible and it's got a poly rather than nitro finish, neither of which affect tone or playability at all.



A couple of years ago I had an Epiphone EJ200 which was a big old lump but played beautifully. I sold it when I got my Martin OOOX1AE (Mexican built Martin with HPL back and sides, a stratobond neck and Richlite fingerboard) which I love and play as my all-rounder. A couple of months ago I saw that Epiphone were bringing out a smaller-bodied version of the EJ200 with a cutaway called the EJ200 Coupe. Now, I've been considering a cutaway acoustic for some time so whilst int he shop yesterday I had a play on one and it instantly felt familiar and fabulous. It comes in 3 colours as well, including "Wine Red". Nice. I am a big fan of Epiphone guitars and have an ES339 hollow bodied electric guitar. Had our first gig as a new band last Friday night!!
