[What Comes With A NEW Epiphone Guitar.]

Just got my Epiphone Les Paul 60's Tribute Plus earlier this week. Came with the poster, warranty book/owners manual, wrench, strap locks, and an Epiphone sticker.

but no ten foot cord. Get in touch with the place you got it from, tell them you need a cord. What good is an electric guitar if there is no cord to attach it to your amp It is supposed to be supplied with all Epiphone electric guitars, that is part of the entire "package" you are supposed to get. Tell them that. Send them an email with a link to this thread.

There seems to be a lot of inconsistancy with "what comes with a new Epiphone electric guitar". I do hope Epiphone will improve the quality of the entire "package", not just the instrument itself.

I believe all 50th anniversary, 1962 Limited Edition reissues (like the Sorrento I recently acquired) come with a "period correct" case (the one I got is quite nice)

I bought a Epiphone Riviera P93,all I got was paper work and no sticker or wrench.

 

get in touch with where ever you got the guitar from and tell them exactly that. See what they say.

[What Comes With A NEW Epiphone Guitar.]

I have ordered several Epiphone Electric guitars from Musicians Friend. They did not include the cord. I contacted their customer service (MF) about this dilemma, and, each time, they sent me a cord, free of charge [thumbup] Also, on one guitar, I did in fact get the cord. But, when I plugged it in, it didn't work (short circuit/non attached wires). I sent an email to MF explaining this, they also sent a new cord out, cool. So, about half the time, I got no cord, and the other 1/4 of the time, I got a dead cord lol

So, they "made it right". Thanks MF

Oh, I love Indonesia-made Epi's. Better than China or USA epi/gib's.

I like playing a well made guitar. The Indonesian made LP Jr's I've played have been great guitars.

[Do you regret your Epiphone purchase?]

Regrets ? Ya, I regret that I don't own more of them.

[1930`s Epiphone Masterbilt `Apollo`.]

that thing belongs in the Epiphone museum.

[1995 Epiphone Les Paul ?]

I've gone to Guitar Center and seen "lots" of Epiphone guitars on display. I think (sometimes) if Epiphone manufactures a large quantity of guitars for a retail place (like Guitar Center), sometimes they don't silk screen the modlel name (Les Paul, Junior, Special)on the headstock, it is just "blank".

Like this LP Special II, which is not silk screened with "special" on the head stock.

 

[Been Doing Some Work On My Alleykat]

I guess I'm just a hopeless tinkerer. :D

The latest incarnation of the Alleyat has Seymour Duncan Seth Lover model bridge pickup, SD SM-3 minibucker neck pickup, Gibson pots, Orange Drop .015 tone cap, Hipshot knobs and some Hipshot tuning keys. I loved how the tuner key shape echoed the shape of the headstock emblem. Plus, these are some of the smoothest tuners I've used. Highly recommended.

The Seth Lover humbucker is the first bridge pickup I've used that I actually like. It's extremely clear and articulate and not muddy at all.

Anyway, some pics...

 

And a clip. This is the guitar part for an original tune I'm working on now.

It features the Alleykat with both pickups active, neck volume 4, bridge volume 9, master volume 7, tone 8. Played through a Fender Chamion 600 amp, recorded in Garageband with a Blue Snowball mic.

Hi Elias.

I love that guitar, cool color, nice tune. Now, get back over to HCEG

[Does Epiphone manufacture it's own strings for their guitars ?]

I had the high "E" string break 2 times (in a relatively short amount of playing time). I polished the saddle area and changed the string to an "Ernie Ball". It hasn't broken yet (about an hour playing time). I was wondering who Epiphone used as their string supplier. Another post mentioned that D'Addario acknowledged that they have had a problem with strings breaking. Does Epiphone use D'Addario strings on their guitars ?

[Epiphone Wilshire 1967]

I've raised the strings while waiting' date=' and I must admit I'm getting used to it.

Here's another soundclip:
