Epiphone Special-II Les PaulPlayer Pack, Ebony Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received my player pack about a week ago.Everything was included in the pack and "seemed" great.I got the Sunburst pattern and the guitar looks really nice.The amp and the rest of the gear was all good for the price.The problem was that when I tuned the guitar I had to raise the bridge way too much to get rid of some buzzing from the fret bars.Even after that I still got the buzzing when I played vigorously.Also I could feel the edges of the fret bars on the neck which I think means that the wood of the neck had shrunk and probably warped a little (sitting in a warehouse too long maybe). I chose to repair these issues instead of returning the guitar.I like it very much and I doubt that getting another pack at the same price point would get me any more quality. If my experience was not the norm then I would give this pack a 4 or 5.
**UPDATE
The warped neck was unrepairable by the epiphone dealer in my area.They sent it back (warranty) and I got a NEW Epiphone "Dot Studio" as a replacement because it would have been 90 day till they could replace it with a similar model.I really like the "Dot Studio" and it is a nice upgrade. So I got a really nice deal in the end
