  1. Hello there guys. I recently purchased an Epi (I just like the axes for the price and quality), but guitar dater didn´t find anything on the serial.

    Any help? There you go:

     

    Serial# 1104210476

     

    From experience, I suppose it was manufactured in April 2011 (1104), am I correct? And what abaout "where"?

     

    Thank you.

     

    Yup, yer right.........And your guitar was built in Asia...........It doesn't really matter where in Asia......

     

    Do you really want to know ??

  2. Epiphones are all premium quality guitars that are way beyond the quality of other brands in their price range.The fit and finish and attention to detail as well as the tone are sll superb.

     

    This is it..........This statement is how I'd put it as well.............[thumbup] [thumbup] [thumbup] ..........

  3. I have NEVER been a fan of Epiphone.

     

    Thoughts anyone?

     

    Yes, I have thoughts for you.....May I suggest the Ninja Turtles Forum, The Disney Forum, The Troll Foundation, The Fender Forum,

     

    The Wisconsin Cheese Forum, The Society of Cork Sniffers Forum, and The World Is Flat Forum.....Thanks for stopping by................

  4. OK here is a closeup for everybody....you can easily see the point where the fret meets the binding, not at the edge of the playing surface but a couple mills in. E-strings catch at that point, and they wouldn'[t on a tradionally fretted instrument. thats just how it is.

     

    Interesting.......Hmmmm.....:-k :-k :-k .......

  5. I'm Damian, but, everyone already knew that........I'll be following this sub-section a bit more.....

     

    Lots of good posts here, and music clips as well.........I own some acoustics, but, not uber good ones..........Yet..........

     

    I do play acoustic, and my drummer plays pool with acoustic..............smiley-music024.gif

  6. I have just downloaded Reaper and I have to say that it looks quite good to me, and the basics are fairly easy to follow.

    It has similarities to Audacity, and to a video editing program I use

    I record on a Korg 3200 ... what a great machine :)

     

    I also use a Korg 3200............And Reaper, and Sonar Producer X-1...............

  7. American made Bigsbys are "sandcast."..........Imports are "die cast." American are 'imperial', imports 'metric.' Sure, sandcasting results in a stronger

     

    product, but, both methods are just fine for the stresses Bigsbys take.......Of course, USA Bigsbys cost more.......The cheapest place I've found for

     

    Bigsbys are at "Amplified Parts"............For the P-90s, you might want to go with P-94s, basically P-90s in an HB size....They are real P-90s, but

     

    some claim they sound a bit different.....You COULD put a SD in the bridge, and a P-94 in both the middle and neck....A calibrated set can have

     

    have one P-94 reverse wound, thus eliminating hum when both are used at the same time......I prefer Gibson P-94s, and they are under a $100.00

     

    each at "Amplified Parts." As the great "RaSTuS" says, the Wilkinson roller bridges are great....I bought and use some as a result of his advice......

     

    They are also metric, so, they'll fit Epis without a problem.....I buy mine at "Guitar Fetish" for the cheapest price........As to the 6 way switch, that's not

     

    my area.......Check the Epi stock sizes vs the switch......The only drawback I can see in your mods are hurtin' fingers due to not being able to put

     

    the new geetar down..........................

  8. Santanu, the issue and discussions about Epiphone pickups is extensive......Remember, most of us on this forum own several guitars, and some like me

     

    own, um, er, ah, hmmm, many guitars........So we have a varied experience with different guitars and pickups......When guys like us have so much experience

     

    with many guitars, the differences become very apparent.......In your case, with just one SUPER FINE and REAL EPIPHONE LES PAUL, you will be more

     

    than happy with it's tone and sound......Myself, I prefer upgrading Epi Les Paul pickups to Gibson Classic '57s.....This is expensive.....Others upgrade to

     

    different brands of pickups, and many are happy with the stock pickups......So, unless you get a chance to play a Gibson Les Paul with it's pickups, then,

     

    by default, you won't hear the difference, and you'll be happy with your stock pickups, which actually are just fine.......Read the link by RaSTuS, it's interesting..

     

    What I find most important right now is, that, the Epi you found appears to be the real deal, and not a fake or a copy...............................................................

  9. That's wonderful.......I'm very happy for you........As far as the climate goes, what country are you in ??? This will help us help you...

     

    The jack is built for lots of use, however, they can go bad, get loose, etc etc....There's the washer on the outside of the jack;

     

    keep this tight....Wires will sometimes come loose....With some solder it can usually be fixed....Usually wiping the srings down

     

    after playing will make them last longer.......Others will add info, and will correct me ( :rolleyes:[crying][scared][lol] ) when I'm wrong........

     

    Once again, congrats.....Always ask us questions, we'll always be here Santanu...........[thumbup] [thumbup] [thumbup] [thumbup] .........
