The Mahogany neck sits comfortably in the hand, with the Custom “Phenix” profile feeling slim and providing a smooth and articulate playing experience.

The single cutaway body design provides the player with unobstructed access to the higher register, great for those high end lead lines.

The Epiphone ProBucker in the neck position sounds thick and full, with a rich low end great for rhythm tonalities. The Epiphone Ceramic PRO in the middle position provides a punchy, tight midrange great for chordal styles of playing whilst being able to cut through a mix. . The Epiphone ProBucker in the bridge position produces a clear and articulate top end, balancing very well with a punchy output, providing a great feel and clarity, allowing the player to achieve a wide variety of tones all at the fingertips.

Headstock: Overall very good condition. All faces of the headstock demonstrate light scratching under close scrutiny.

Neck: Overall very good condition. There is a finish crack along the neck where the headstock meets the neck, this does not flex under pressure and does not pose a structural concern. The rear of the neck demonstrates light scratching under close scrutiny.

Body: Overall very good condition. All faces of the body demonstrate light to moderate scratching , as is common with a high gloss finish. The rear face of the guitar has multiple, evenly spaced, imperfections consistent with the guitar having rested against something that has reacted with the finish. These are only visible from certain angles and have not reacted with the finish in a way which can be felt underhand.
