Made with "Okoume" body and neck? Never heard of that before.

Sure hope that's a typo or something. From what I've read, doing a quick skim on Google, it might make a nice veneer, but you wouldn't want to build with it.

his sig mini stack looks pretty sweet, too.. $1099 for the lot.

Seems like a strange choice indeed.

EDIT: After looking around Epi's site for a minute at specs, it seems they are using this on a lot of the cheaper Les Paul models now including the Slash 'AFD' Special-II.

The site has changed to woods to Mahogany in case anyone hasn't checked

I never saw the Epi site list it as "Okoume", only on the Sweetwater site. The Epi official site doesn't have the greatest reputation for their descriptions of specs being accurate.

At least not recently, as evidenced by that whole signature Century debacle.

Oh noes! It's not teh rosewoods fingeryboards!

I mean... at least give the thing a shot before going ape-dookie.

I know of okoume, African timber is widely used over here.
I wouldn't worry about it.

Marketing in most cases is king.
Btw I'm looking the guitar...
Who the hell decided is a good idea to screw the blues power plate like that....
If they absolutely had to, why not drilling the holes at the center of where the tailpiece posts should be.
So if someone want to mod it, he would have the guides already there....

If I didn’t already have the 55, I just might get one of these. I still want to check one out though, as it does seem like a very cool axe.

 

[Mongol McPhee]

It’s cool but I’m not sure about having one pick up!

"They" say it forces you to play differently to make different sounds.

I dunno though, I wire my stuff up to add options, not take them away. Then again, that's fun for me, so maybe I'm not exactly unbiased.

Blackstar seem to be the ones to watch at moment! In two minds about their I.D core combi.

I like "multitools".

You can combine replies. Hit reply on the ones you want to comment on and type in between the bracketed /QUOTE (starting point) and the bracketed QUOTE=random user (end point)

It condenses things a bit.

If you need to cross pages when replying; just hit the "save" icon (bottom row 3rd from the right -looks like an old disk) before you move to the next page.

Like so.
I do this all the time, keeps me from having multiple back to back posts.
