Epiphone and Orville guitars have stood up to the abuse of gigging heavily so I continue to use them, I start with the base guitar and build them into what I want them to be.
Funny thing is dealing with Gibson concerning Epi guitars has been nothing but great service.

Thanks for the straight-forward, honest answer - THIS is what I was getting at
Epi's are great base guitars if you know how to pick'em (and I'm sure you do).
BTW - congrats and post lots of pics when you pick it up!
