[QUOTE="ontariopiper, post: 499487, member: 3775"] The Epi is actually a 339, Rande - same sounds as a 335 but closer to a Les Paul in size and weight. I traded my 335 for it, and haven't looked back! The acoustic is an Ovation. I'm a bit mixed on these, myself, but I've had good luck with this one. Acoustically it's only ok, but plugged in she sounds great, with very little of the typical amped-acoustic feedback problems. The little fellow is an Epiphone Mandobird VIII - an 8-string electric mandolin, which I bought to avoid the problem of feedback from my acoustic mando on stage. The scale is also slightly longer than a traditional mandolin, so I can get my fat fingers into position just a bit more easily! :lol!: It's a PITA to buy strings for (no one makes a set of 8 electric, ball end mandolin strings, so I have to buy individual strings), and the stock single-coil pickup is nothing to write home about, but it's a lot of fun to play. Sounds great through a JAzz Chorus amp! Just realized my bodhran is missing from the wall. I'll have to remedy that! [/QUOTE]
