My first ever amp
It's all fun and games until you press the "drive" button and you're greeted with a sound which can only be described as 10,000 bees at once.

Great but it has issues
My Epiphone Wilshire is the guitar I wanted from day one and I'm pretty happy with it. I'll start off with the issues, there's a slight rattle at the bridge (G string) and the high e string falls right out of the saddle when bending. I then switched back to a size .10 string set and had it setup, noticed that the added tension had almost eliminated that problem (emphasis on "almost").
However, this guitar can play like a dream when setup properly. First, the vibrato system has to be one the best for staying in tune, you can really hammer on it without much issue. The pickups sound good, like a cross between a Telecaster and a Les Paul model; a very unique and pleasent sound. I also find the fret access a great bonus.
Overall, I'd say it's not for everyone but I personally enjoy it, it's a very unique instrument, I'd recommend it for blues, rock, 60's pop and pushing it towards high gain stuff.
