If you grew up listening to Joan Jett, the rock anthem, I hate myself for loving you should be a familiar tune. Joan Jett got her Gibson signature Melody Maker along the way & it was deserving.
This year, Epiphone did a take on that guitar I would say it's a waste of time. That headstock outline alone is undeserving; Epiphone is indirectly telling everyone that: 1) We are bent on a differentiated headstock for this model like how we did for other Epiphones that are semi-emulating the GIbson counterpart 2) If it looks off & repulsive, it doesn't matter. Are you are telling me, Epiphone, that the technology which could carve out a more palatable design is somehow not within your reach? Body cutaways are not accurate, ditto the rear end curve. Pickguard, pickup consideration & bridge are also off. We get the fact that the Epiphone name is a celebrated compromise, often a winner when it comes to tone & playability but this is a poor case of obligations. Folks, your money is better spent on something else.
