[font=trebuchet ms]I jam with a guy who plays a hollow-body Epi and I like what I hear. I strongly recommend trying it out in person, and then buying the one you choose, not the same model pulled out of the back room. Quality control issues make it important to keep your money in your pocket until you find a guitar you want to take home with you.
Then don't let it out of your sight.[/font] :D
