crust Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Fedex truck brought this, yesterday. Not an electric (this time). I hope you don't mind me posting this in the "electric" part of the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearhead88 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Fedex truck brought this, yesterday. You are gonna enjoy that , I have one , was about to trade it in on a "PRO" EL-00 . We could not agree on a fair trade in price , I kept mine the store kept theirs , mine sounded better than the several guitars I played that day. I'm glad I kept it , I bought that guitar just prior to the Pro model's introduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crust Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 You are gonna enjoy that , I have one , was about to trade it in on a "PRO" EL-00 . We could not agree on a fair trade in price , I kept mine the store kept theirs , mine sounded better than the several guitars I played that day. I'm glad I kept it , I bought that guitar just prior to the Pro model's introduction. I have been playing this thing 3-4 hours a day since it arrived. Again, this guitar proves (to me) that these China made Epiphone's are mighty nice, for the price. I can't really complain about any of the several Epiphone instruments I have been able to obtain. They sound good, I haven't broken anything yet (no stripped tuners or any other "bad", quality related things). I'm hoping the "bright" tone will get a bit "sweeter", maybe with time and a change of strings. What strings might you try on a guitar like this, when the time comes to replace (which may be quite soon). Also, this not being a "pro" model, what acoustic guitar pick up(s) might you suggest trying out ? I would like to "electrify" it at some point, but use something that is easily install-able as well as removable. I am going to ask about this on the acoustic forum too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Scales Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 a handsome, gig-worthy LP gold-top for $305 - what a bargain. Amazing what you get for the money these days and few offer the style, quality and credibility compared to Epiphone for such a price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucille64 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 What modifications have been done to this "rebuild" ? Well to start with... it was completely stripped down. The frets were replaced with stainless steel medium jumbo , leveled , dressed and polished. A new vintage unbleached bone hand made nut by Forrester Kustom guitars. Then Mike Forrester proceeded to ....... rewire it with silver and cloth wire through out. Jensen paper in oil .022 capacitors installed / Original CTS 500K pots/ Volume bleed resistor circuts installed / an original Gibson Varitone circuit installed / Gold plated aluminum stop bar tail piece installed / Gibson ABR bridge / Golden Age Parson's Street "PAF" humbucker pickups installed ( Alnico 5 at the neck... Alnico 2 at the bridge )( only because I liked them better in this guitar than the Gibson 57 Classics ) Gibson Deluxe tuning gears installed / Switchcraft gold 3 way switch installed and Switchcraft jacks installed and Gibson gold bell knobs installed.... so about the only real original Epiphone parts are the body and the neck. Oh and Forrester will be making me a custom bound pickguard without the center mounting screw hole. It will be exactly like the one on the Gibson Lucille with a vintage Gibson mounting bracket soon The reason for all this custom work.... I wanted this instrument to be the very best it could possibly be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
