Why become a member? ×

I had one I liked, as it happens :)   A double cutaway short scale with a P pickup in it.  I swapped the stock pup for an Entwistle one and it was pretty tidy.  Weighed 3kgs, too. 

The neck wasn't great - a little bit warped - so in the end I mated the body with the neck of a Hondo II 32" scale, with some jiggery pokery and moving the bridge back a touch, and have a nice little rocking thing now.  But I'd get another of the Encores if one came up cheaply.

Well it seems like my cunning plan to recruit a few fans to The Lovely Eggs has backfired 😀!

I just hope that their bass player is not a member here.... oh, hang on, they don't have a bass player 😉.

I had an encore Les Paul once, it was quite good, hefty like a LP, even looked quite decent with a cherry sunburst, it wasn't too shoddy at all, suppose it depends which of the usual suspect manufacturers made it.. Pretty certainly MIK I'd think.

If they don't have a bass player I hate 'em already... Just as I do the Doors.. ;)
