Are the ZW epiphones any good?

Regor · 03-24-2008, 08:33 PM

I got one, put black hardware on it, and the real ZW EMG set. I've got 10-52s on it, and I tune it down to whatever I please. Currently its in C standard so I can practice my Dethklok covers. I like it. Its not my #1 axe by far, as I'm not much of a 'LP' kinda guy (neck profile is too thick for my tastes) but its FUN AS HELL to play on. I got it cuz I love ZW, and I wanted a fun guitar I can tune to whatever I want to play along with random metal bands that tune other than standard or 1/2 step down, i.e. KSE, Shadows Fall, Dethklok, In Flames, etc.

Excluding the Eclipse II, the EC1000s will eat just about any production lp under 2k alive, with ease

wont eat mine dude

anyway - i've played 1 or 2 ZW's, and while they were reasonable guitars i think the price is too much.

sounds like an eclipse is the way to go...

so is there a big difference in quality between the LTD EC-500 and the EC-1000 ? and then between the EC-1000 and the ESP eclipse's?

i played the white bullseye one. i thought it was a good peice,

budda · 03-25-2008, 03:40 PM

i thought most people bought eclipses because they aren't the size of a regular LP

I believe the 400V has the thickness of a regular LP, whereas the other Eclipse models are thinner and lighter.

God fucking damn it Jason- you son of a bitch. Right when I am ready to finally pull the trigger on a schecter you have to go givin me more aglie gas. Shit this one is hot! I wonder.... you think the quality would be good here? possibly a fret crown? I hear the agile quality far surpasses the sx and douglas models.
