  1. I really like the Peerless (Korean 90's) Broadways, but I'm coming from a mostly solidbody power pop machine world, not the jazz guitar world, which expects much more out of an instrument than I do. The Broadway's top resonates much better than the other Epi archtops IMHO... I think it's spruce or something, vs ply. But if you're coming from something with a more resonant top, unencumbered by things like pickups stifling the resonance, then you might not like it. And it's possible I jsut got lucky with a good one... it is one of 40 made in Ebony finish, so I got lucky with that already!
  2. I think I'm looking for an M3 x 1.25 x 20. In gold. Tall order, I worry.
  3. Hi everyone. Can someone who owns a Peerless 90's Broadway please examine it and measure the specs for the long screw that holds the pickguard to the top? (up by the neck pickup/neck joint) Thanks! J
  4. Well Ill be. Its 2.7mm. So is my '97 Supernova, so ill just poach from that temporarily!
  5. Buying both is a good idea - I may do that. I have digital calipers but I'm not sure I can accurately get inside the hole of the switch tip. I'll try though, thanks!
  6. When I look at StewMac, they sell two things that both could be right: One is M4 x .7 (generally described as "import"), the other is M3.5 x .6 for "modern Epiphone switches." How modern do they mean by "modern?" I'm guessing that means recent years' Chinese production, and the 90's Korean part I'm after is the former, not the latter. Has anyone purchased a replacement for a 90's Peerless-made Epiphone Casino/Sorrento/Broadway/Supernova/Riviera and know specifically which one will fit? And in case you are thinking "just measure it," I don't trust myself to be able to eyeball the difference between 3.5mm and 4mm just by holding it up to a ruler's edge. Thanks everybody!
  7. I already posted on the TGP thread for this, but thought I'd share for the folks here... starting to look like a FT-150 neck on a Teisco body very similar to the ET-270.
  8. One way to tell if it's UV discoloration (from sitting in the sun in a shop window for 3 years) is to peek under the pickguard.
  9. Hi gang. The nut on my blue Supernova's jack cracked in half! Never seen that happen before. Will the StewMac item 1236 fit? Bummer I have to spend $10 to have them ship a <$2 item! lol
  10. Tweed, how'd you see mgrasso's pics? I just see the "pay Photobucket money" image.
  11. The neck dimensions are just right for me, it seems. I tend to like smaller necks a la Rickenbacker and vintage Gretsch. The Peerless Epi's scratch that itch and have good enough pickups and electronics to hold their own. Sometimes tuners need to be changed, which is simple, but often the stock ones are even ok.
  12. I've got a Sunrise Orange (trapeze) and a Gold Flake (Vibrotone). Fantastic instruments! https://www.flickr.com/photos/155319390@N02/shares/u88c6Z https://www.flickr.com/photos/155319390@N02/shares/5Ed4Qh
  13. Hey there! Still like Epi's in turquoise?

  14. Hi gang. A friend of mine is thinking of getting either a Broadway or Joe Pass. The only differences I see on the site are the end of fretboard, inlays, switch position, signature, and tailpiece. Any other differences? Would they be the same-sounding unplugged? Thanks, J
