Looks like a nice axe. My EPI (Std +) came with Grovers which I'm just fine with. They hold true to pitch despite my "gorilla bends" -- al'a Hellicasters' Will Ray.

I think the EPI's on the lower end of the cost scale are made in China. (I could be wrong about that though). The more $++ stuff is made in Korea and come with better T/machines and P/Us. (guest that's why they cost more)

The Hum-Bs on my EPI arn't all that bad either. I can live with the tone, but they are not linear on their output. Thus I'm going to pull them for Duncan's or Dimarzio's... choices, choices.

You might want to fool around with string guages as well. For me, Markley Blue Steel 10-43's provide the most versitility with sufficient "balls" to get the right sound. #12's on my EPI defy 1.5 step bends, but for rythm playing -- oh s w e e t !


Enjoy your new EPI, I'm just luv'in mine. And welcome to the "pariah" club!
