| Sweet Beyond Belief |
| Quality |
| Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? |
| First of all, the Lucille is well-made, solid wood that provides a sweet sustain. I remember taking it out of the box that contained it, and just running my fingers over it, and couldn't wait to plug it in. Up and down, from the abalone inlays to the volume and tone nobs to the pickups and tuning pegs, it is a beautiful, solid, well-designed instrument. |
|
| Reliability |
| How has it stood up over time? |
| Well, I have only owned it for four days, but I can see that with ordinary care and maintenance, the Lucille is a guitar that would stand the test of time. |
|
| General |
| Your general opinion of this product. |
| This guitar is considered probably the best acquisition ever made. It's beautiful looking. It's beautiful sounding. It's beautiful handling. It's strong (oh you can definitely tell it's made of very good materials). It is a VERY GOOD instrument to PERFORM EXTREMELY WELL. You pick it up in your hands and you just cannot put it down. Yippy Kye Yay! |
|
| Playability and Feel |
| How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? |
| I meant to buy a guitar strap at the time of the acquisition, but no matter. I'm a big guy and this instrument lays on my lap like a content kitten. The Lucille virtually purrrrs when you stroke its strings, when you stroke its neck, when you flick the controls. I found the neck to be very comfortable, the strings never buzzed no matter how hard I played it. It was fast. I was able to change from rhythm to lead whether or not I selected anything. But when I wanted to make a change in selection, the pickups picked up all the tones nicely, whether I strummed the strings with my fingers or with a plectrum. The controls were smoothly working and effective. |
|
| Tone |
| Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? |
| Depending on how I set my instrument, the tones varied greatly from very mellow to hot and spicy. I ran from jazz to country to folk to rock and the Lucille was right there with me the whole time. |
|
| Finish |
| How did the stain or paint job look? |
| It is a beautiful color, dark, smooth, as ebony should look, and the white finish really shows how professional the Epiphone people really are. You can tell a lot of care and attention to detail went into this instrument. I can't wait to get home and to play 'her' (Lucille) again! |
|
| Action |
| How was the action out of the box? |
| Action out of the box was great. I read somewhere that someone felt they needed to change the strings. Well, I didn't feel that way. The strings were and are great. I was able to stretch them and rarely did the instrument go out of tune. Because of the close action, it was free and easy motion from rhythm to lead guitar in a flash. Ahh, the Lucille is excellent in all respects. |
