She's a beaut! I have had my eyes on this series and this one in particular. Currently have a couple 2006 era Masterbilts that are fantastic. I really don't need a new guitar but the pull is strong. Probably going to unload a HD28 that I love the thought of having, but just not connecting with.

Hey Bruce, Congrats on your latest. My Epiphone IBG J-200 is still my go-to guitar at this point. Have fun with your string testing. Have even more fun with your playing choices. Hmm, Gibson J-200 or IBG solid-wood faux-Gibson? Hmmm? (Not a knock on getting the Epiphone IBG. I live in that glass house myself, as I just mentioned.) I have 3 Epiphone jumbo cases now. One holds my Alvarez AJ60S guitar. And it has brown trim too. The case, not the guitar, which is a natural blonde. Neck, Body and Top. Collar and Cuffs indeed. If music be a gift of the gods, then play on. (Paraphrasing and altering Shakespeare and Fleetwood Mac.) Be well, Don .

These IBG Epi's are already hitting the used market. I just bought a near mint one locally with a very nice hardshell for about 1/3 off of the regular retail price without a case. The guitar sounds fantastic and the setup is spot on. Only change I made was swapping the plastic pins for bone.
Congrats BruceBubs, hope you enjoy yours as a I do mine.

Congrats on the new Epi! I like mine quite a lot and it just seems to work well for my needs. I will be interested in hearing your opinion of swapping the pins to bone.

  Pins are sitting nicely on their collars and I think volume and sustain have both improved - remember I only got this guitar 3 days ago!
