Another minor issue is the quality of the general finish on the guitar. There are several areas on the sides where there are visible small lumps in the finish, where the spray-paint has spattered and dried hard. This could be intentional to try and suggest touch-ups over the years, however. Mismatched tone and volume knobs and a flawless finish ensure the Lemon Drop keeps the mojo working.

You’re not going to confuse this with a Gibson, are you? The top nuts on both V100s are Graph Tech NuBone XB, which aims to “increase volume and enhance the low-end harmonics of your instrument” (Image credit: Future / Olly Curtis)

This easily beats out the Epiphones in my opinion and the unique look and sound is something you simply wont find unless you spend several thousand on a Gibson. If you have a google around you will see lots of people singing the praises of these instruments. Genuinely a lovely guitar at a bargin price and I'm really sad to let this one go but downsizing my collection so alas it must.
