I felt in love with the sound of a Gibson, it caught my soul. Of course the Epiphone is for folks who can't affort a more expensive Gibson. I tested 3 Gibson models at my friend's home, and only like two of them. the 3-rd one did not please my ears (could be sweet to others though).
As expected, I fixed this Epiphone with the broken neck, using Titebond original and proper clamping, without much hassles as there are minimal wood loss at the edges of the breaks.
