Epiphone ET270

Post by HNB »

Got this from Gonkulator. It came in yesterday. Before I put it together, I am filling in some neck pocket finish cracks. :) It is really hot looking. I am very excited. :)

Got the neck mounted. The clear nail polish to fill the finish cracks didn't work. It dried gummy and scraped off so I tried super glue. It kind of did the same thing, but the cracks do look better. They are harder to see and kind of look more like scratches now. I have a new tremolo arm black tip coming in the mail. Hopefully it fits ok. Tomorrow I should be able to get strings and tune it up.

Thanks! Got strings on it today and it is great! That neck pickup is super warm and the bridge pickup is nice and jangly. :) The treble cut switch is pretty cool as well. I bet that rocks through a fuzz. I have just tried it clean and with two Klons so far. Awesome neck.

i always forget about these until someone posts one and i fall in love with the body all over again, its like a strat, but it looks cooler to me since it looks a like a jaguar beat it up. and the bridge intrigues me.
how is the trem on it?

The roller bridge works great. The four screws on left and right lower it or raise it. It only goes one way vs a floating tremolo, but works well. Holds tune well also. :)
