Epiphone E422T Century Hollow Body Cherry 2016
Epiphone Century, cherry red, made in China 2016. This looks classy, no? The Century is a reissue of the 1966 original, released as part of Epiphone's top-tier 'Inspired by Gibson' line. It's a fully hollow slimline body, so it's wide across the top, but only 46mm deep. The neck is a comfy moderate C style shape, and the classy hardware and lightweight body make for easy playing. The single P-90 does good work: under a light touch, it's rounded and gooey with a pleasing balance. Dig in a bit harder, and you'll get a snappy, papery attack and a percussive clarity, rewarding a nuanced player. These are no longer available new, so if you're after a skinny jazz cherry bomb, this one might be looking for you too.
