    Hi JL and welcome to the forum. Problem with the bolt-on neck models is they used the same serial number for many guitars of the same model. Just my opinion, but if it plays well and sounds good, don't worry about where it was made, it's not important. Cheers, Brian

    It's a Casino - maybe an Elitist? Standard Casinos can be found used on Craigslist fairly regularly for ~$400.

    This video was embedded in another news item. Nice tone, even if you don't like CW. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lfpjy65K3SE&feature=player_embedded#at=141

    No, you should do the mod at the back of the switch or vol pots as illustrated above. You could slpice it in at the pickup, but that would limit the pickups usefulness later on, and create an unecessary failure point.

    Goregeous guitar Elias. I like those exposed tuners too. I need to look into Hipshot more...

    An Airstream full of guitars and a coupla girlfriends sounds pretty good to me right now....

    Well if Gibson kept better records and made them easily available - like GUILD does: http://www.guildguit...uild_dating.php Then there wouldn't be a need for the Guitardater Project....

    I think he meant 50 of the ones with his unusual headstock script.

    Mats, pretty much the whole Sheraton II history is contained in this link: http://www.thefret.n...read.php?t=9052 That's the general conclusion about these guitars, but many folks are happy with them stock. Maybe it just needs some maintenance, it is 20+ years old after all. Check the DIY thread at the top of the lounge page. Cleaning pots is relatively easy - completely rewiring a semi-hollow body guitar is fairly involved.

    That's going to be a tough one - the country of origin is at the beginning of the number, then usually the year, month, day, and unit no. All I can say is that it was probably unit no. 1235 that year. It also could have been made on December 11, or November 12. The rest is probably lost for good unless there are any other clues with the paperwork or on the back of the pickups....

    Can you post a photo of the incomplete label?

    Hey Sheila, how's it goin'? Haven't heard from you in a while. Didja get the Jr. sorted? e-mail me, I can't get PMs on the new forum for some reason.

    Hey TWANG, whatever you think is fair for the Grovers. I'd rather have them with buttons, so I can use the spares on a Cigar Box Guitar or something. Let me know.

    Duane, I have exactly 5 messages in my inbox - all from Animalfarm complaining that my inbox is full! LOL!

    hey Duane,I've been trying to PM with several other memebrs but they get error messages when trying to ping me. I've disabled Comment and Friend approval but still no go. Any guidance?

    All fixed.

    I think...

    I've received all the aforementioned swag (except the legendary and elusive bumper sticker) on the P93, LP Special, and IBJL Casino I bought new from Musician's Friend. I bought an amp and drum machine from Sweetwater and it was an A+ customer experience. I'd love to buy guitars from Sweetwater - their customer service is superb - but MF runs those occaisional 15% off deals (including used and returns) that make it impossible to resist. MF is the Amazon of on-line guitar stores and GC is the Wal-Mart. (Except Midi's LV store, that one is the exception!)

    Would you care to ID the rogues in that gallery? L to R: MIC Riviera P93; MIK Sheraton Blondie; MIK Emperor; MIK Riviera All were Craigslist purchases except the P93 which was a blind buy from Musician's Fiend. Since the photo was taken' date=' a tobacco MIK Sheraton II (Craigslist) and an IBJL Casino (Musician's Fiend) have joined the pageant: [img']http://i608.photobucket.com/albums/tt163/brianehuff/P1010198.jpg[/img]

    Checkout HarpBoy's Valensi here: http://forums.epiphone.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=14966 Very lustworthy...

    Apparently it takes more than one would think. Perhaps he's also using them for gaffer's tape at gigs?

    Hi Epi, I think we were hoping for a set-neck Jr. reissue with a P90 and Grovers, not another bolt-on with sheet metal tuners and cheap humbucker. Maybe next year...

    I have purchased three new Epis over the last year (P93, IBJL, and Special SC) and none came with a bumper sticker. I think MF is confiscating them....
