Review: Arrivata sei giorni prima del previsto, rapporto qualità prezzo ottimo, buoni legni ed elettronica. Le corde montate sono morbide al tatto (ottimo per i principianti), imballaggio idoneo al trasporto e certificato di controllo qualità in dotazione. Per il momento sono molto soddisfatto.
Review: Ich habe die Gitarre meinem Mann zum Geburtstag geschenkt! Er ist begeistert!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can it be used on xbox one (Rocksmith)????**
A: I’ve  never used Xbox one,  but it looks like this cable (in link below) will plug in any guitar...

https://www.amazon.com/Rocksmith-Audio-Cable-Ubisoft-Not-Specified/dp/B005OSFUZI

**Q: Is it a short scale?**
A: Yes, it is a short scale 24.75

**Q: What kind of strings does Epiphone put on this guitar?**
A: From my understanding, Gibson manufactured their own strings used on Gibson and Epiphone Guitars in a factory in Elgin, Illinois until 2008 or 2009. At that point, they subcontracted D'Addario to manufacture the Gibson/Epiphone Branded strings. I believe this particular guitar comes with .010 to .046 gauge strings.  I have sold many Epiphone Les Paul Special VE's and have made a practice of inspecting all guitars before shipment and the strings on them seem very bright, similar to D'Addario XL 110's, which is what I'm guessing is what comes on this model from the factory. That being said, as a touring musician, I change my strings on my main guitars for every show...and for my "B" guitars every 2 to 3 shows...and at generally less that $10 per set...sometimes half that price depending on where you purchase your strings, I would recommend changing your strings as soon as they begin to lose their brightness...which also gives you the opportunity to experiment with different brands and gauges to find what you like best. Personally, I recommend starting with the D'Addario XL 110's for an electric guitar (.010 to .046 gauge), which I have been using on several of my electrics for over 20 years. Happy Playing!!!

**Q: Why does it say Small business??**
A: Simply click on the “Small Business” link in the product listing, for an explanation of Amazons commitment to empowering them. I’ve bought guitars and accessories from Guitar Craftory and have always had a great buyer experience and smooth transactions. They pack well and ship quickly. Hope this helps to answer your question. Make it a great day!

*by A***R on 17 December 2018*

Soy músico profesional. Compré esta guitarra como regalo de cumpleaños para un familiar. Para el precio que tenía y por las opiniones que leí en Amazon decidí decantarme por este modelo. Creo que para alguien que está comenzando a tocar la guitarra es una compra con una gran relación calidad/precio. Es una guitarra fácil de tocar y tiene un buen sonido. Recomendaría este producto para todos aquellos principiantes o guitarristas que les guste tocar a modo de hobby. Destacar que el color Cereza Sunburst es algo más rojo de lo que muestran las fotos.
