Setup - Epiphone 435i made in Korea 1980s modded electric guitar - Bridge work

Cool Epiphone shredder from the 1980s, set neck design with a virtually identical layout and design to the Kackson soloist. It had been neglected for quite  afeew years and needed some attention.

  • remove bridge and reset into body
  • fix output jack and grouding wiring issues
  • adjust truss rod to improve string relief
  • clean & polish frets
  • restring with Ernie Ball slinky 9 gauge


This is an interesting guitar. Epiphone's very literal take on the very popular at the time Jackson Soloist
