    Opinions on this Epiphone blues combo

    Dont know about Epi blues combo But I can on Valve Junior. Tone is good for the price. But the tone is a lot better when you change the tubes to a good high quality. Did wonders for the sound. Pure tube distrortion and more headroom. I am sure the same applies ffor the Blues combo. Gibson did...

    amp too big

    Change the tubes. Put a good high quality tubes. The best mod of all for Valve Junior and GA5. And like the Epi VJ it doesn't void the warranty.

    Info on a Fernandes Stratocaster

    Its alder wood. Be careful of the electronics also they used cheap pots and switches in a lot of the LE and TE series guitars You may be changing them sooner than you would like. But the Body and Necks are well built. Of my 2 one is still stock the other I rewired.

    Nitro Vs Poly

    I own a 50 year old Gibson- Nitro finish. I own Takamine, Fender, G&L, Fernandes, GTX/Kaman - all poly. Like in the previous posting: Judge guitars own their own merits. I have found out all guitars are different if built by machine or hand. The finish of poly is more durable. The wood...
