@@daveshank1921 I just picked up the amp. Just the amp. I am not really interested in the guitar, ironically. Just wanted the amp, b'c I am into the vintage thing right now. I'm really an 80's rock guy. But I ove the look of this Epi amp. Picked on up off of Reverb. It's really good. Not fantastic. But really good. I was shocked to be honest. Had it a few days now. Looks amazing, and sounds a LOT better than I figured on. Sounds so much better than all the other crap amps that come in these packs. My only (2) complaints are as follows: Wish it didn't say "Snakepit 15G." LOL I wish it just said 15G. But it's not all that noticeable. Small print. The SLash signature is OK. Also very subtle. And the 2nd small gripe is... the mids and highs come on way to strong and gives it a little bit of a tinny sound. But I crank up the bass full on. And almost nothing on treble and mid. And honestly... this amp has a very full and rich sound to me - when you dial it in to something you like. An 8 inc speaker instead of 4 or 6 like many of these little starter amps. And MUCH fuller sounding. For cleanish and a little break-up type gain... it is AWESOME! If you want to play Def Lep or Van Halen - forget about it. LOL But I have equipment to do that.

I got 1 of these amps w/ o power supply off Ebay. Found out power supply is a crazy 24v AC to AC wall wart. Really hard to find. When I did find it had a problem getting it shipped. Had to complain real loud to the company shipping and they sent back the shipping cost. Whole amp ended up costing me $49. I like this amp. It ain't my Boogie or Twin but for under $50 it sounds good enough to play with along my other practice amps.

got one last week after tuning the sound was not right figured i got a bad deal until I found a video of an old guy showing how to do what he called a step-up setting on the humbucker poles adjustments so after a dew hours tweaking and adjusting everything from the humbuckers , neck rod, string high , string distance on bridge its now the best sounding guitar I've ever owned. Have new bridge coming going to get rid of the wire holding down the adjusting screws , that's a messed up design but it will get you by to see what's it's about. Seems all good just have to spend time adjusting . Only thing better than this guitar I guess is You Tube to find out how to do things.

Err. Are you sure you checked the intonation? You compared open string to 12 fret harmonic. I thought you actually had to fret a note at the 12th fret and compare it to open, or the harmonic to setup up intonation? Otherwise you've not actually determined that the 12th fret is half way along the string have you?
