Epiphone Crestwood Custom

[turbid trout]

Thinking of picking one of these up. Anyone played them or have any thoughts on them?

Interesting look, interesting sound, but if you want a really nice guitar, there are better options

So what specifically do you want from a guitar?

[turbid trout]

I’ve got a bunch of acoustics but only one electric (MiK Tele). I’m wanting something with a sort of 50s/60s style to it that that’s decently versatile. Going down to London in a few days to buy a new guitar so would need to be from there (ideally a shop on Denmark street)

under 1k

I also don’t really want something like a strat, i want something unique

[carmine sluice]

I really don’t like the look or feel of these guitars I definitely recommend playing one first

It felt so weird

Get a jazzmaster or a 335/Les Paul

Wunjo guitars has a big selection, probably one of my favorite shops on Denmark street

Sixtysixty is overrated tbh

These are what I'm currently thinking of:

This may sound incredibly dumb but I'm not overly wanting something that's a 'cheap' version of a gibson, rather something thats cool in its own right... closest to that ig would be a guild aristocrat but that still feels like it isnt just trying to be a copy

[brave dagger]

I would say the crest wood is another fantastic option for something unique

[turbid trout]

Think that’s what I love about it, it’s epiphone being epiphone not chinese made gibsons

i can’t decide how about the les paul… the lack of finish is either really cool or really not. think that’s defo gonna have to be seen in person. the two builds are cool to me. the violin body is another one i can’t decide if i like or not. same with the two epi’s

[brave dagger]

Very good point

I like the red crest wood the best

[turbid trout]

definitely yeah

[grizzled shore]

ive tried them at a local gc
