Chrystal, McMinnville, TN Reviewsbased on 13 reviewsA Jazz Guitar So Good, I bought 2 of them.
by DJ from Seattle, WA Area
I have a 1994 Natural Finish JP-II and a 2005 Heritage Cherry Sunburst JP-II Model, Both are Korean made by Samick, and are Excellent. I am using D'Addario Chrome 11 Flatwounds and Have Upgraded the P... read more [+]ickups to Gibson 490T/490R Gold Humbuckers in the 2005 model, and have installed Gibson 57 Classic and 57 Classic Plus Gold Pickups in the 1994 Version. Both are Truly Excellent Guitars, the 94' Natural Model is Mellower sounding, with Beautiful Full jazz tones and an Nice Smooth easy playing Neck. The 2005 Version has a slightly brighter and more lively sound with the 490 series pickups, and has an even faster neck, with slightly better acoustic sustain. The newer 2005 version is overall, an improved Model. I played it back to back with an Vintage ES-165, and my JP-II Played Better, Sounded Better, and didn't have feedback issues!! close [-]

by Dave Belaire from Brooklyn, Michigan
The Emperor II has been a wish-come-true for me. The guitar is more attractive in person than I thought it would be! It plays VERY well, too. The 'jazz box' design and quality is nothing short of amaz... read more [+]ing, especially when you factor in the price point of this guitar. I had considered saving up for a Gibson like the ES-175, but the cost was way too high for me. The Emperor II appears to have the same build quality, although I know that the electronics aren't as good. But that can be taken care of if I decide to upgrade them. Still, as it stands I have NO plans to do anything but enjoy playing this and leaving it completely stock. close [-]

by Marcus from Baltimore
I thought this guitar deserved better than a 3. Its a six hundred dollar guitar, I'm not going to compare it to an 8000 dollar Gibson, or guild USA. Believe me, NOTHING else in this price range will... read more [+] come anywhere near the Emperor 2. Its a pro grade instrument. I love Gibson Guitars and while I'm no expert on semi Hollow bodies this axe has definately got the Gibson Neck. Not all Epiphones do, not even the pricier ones, but this one does. The joinery is high quality and the hand work is there, Unlike Cheapy guitars which to me have a feeling as if they were never touched by human hands, much less skilled hands, but this one has got the feel.These kinds of large arch tops are what are known as "Jazz Boxes" and this one is done in the grand old Epiphone style. I have a feeling this guitar could also handle some hot electric blues or heavy 70's rock. Im going to give it a work out on my Marshall JMP Mk2 and find out. close [-]
