You're famous! And dig that sexy redhead!
Hey guys, should we get a list going with our City locations and guitar #'s from this limited run just to see where these guitars have found homes? Just a thought.
-
And to top it off after 13 years of shopping at my local shop I finally made their website/facebook! As strange as it sounds its a weird honor. I remember as a kid their old store was covered with the photos of all of their customers going back to the late 80/early 90s. Its cool to finally be in the club! If you are in Alabama I cannot recommend Guitar Gallery of Tuscaloosa and Pelham enough!

Well my tax returns came in today, Guess who's having a NGD on his lunch break? :)
Go get 'er Yogi! Well mine finally arrived, #821, 2 days after hernia surgery so my time with her has been limited but what a beaut. The Cherry finish was not scraped very well from the headstock binding but hey, I've seen much worse on Gibby's. The neck is 2 mm wider at the 12th fret than my Valensi Riviera and overall a bit thinner from front to back too but still is a great neck.
I will likely add my Gold Bigsby B7 with a good roller bridge. Any thoughts on which choices are out there for a Nashville style roller bridge with a 12" radius? Can't seen to attach this picture straight, grrrr!

Just got mine number 1313 of 1962, hopefully not gonna bring me bad luck lol!
Awe dude that is too sweet! Where's mine??!!
-
Yes, it does and it looks really cool that way.
-
Here she is :
Awe dude that is SO sweet! I'll bet you're gushing. :-) The tailpiece looks brushed vs. woodish as seen in original pics, I like it better. Does the case shut ok with the arm folded back? I ordered mine with the Frequensator tailpiece but now I'm thinking, hmmm....?
-
Well I have about 500 left to pay before I take her home, but this new one is absolutely flawless. Its #1300 something out of 1962. It wont let me post a pic from my phone :(
Sweet! I'm waiting for my call from Long & McQuade to make my day too! These are already unavailable at some retailers and we're just receiving ours now. Good thing we ordered when we did! Seems like most of us ordered the Cherry...
-
funny you mention that. I have a gold Bigsby arriving this week that I plan on installing on my Cherry ltd edition Sheraton. Stay tuned for pix

Please! We'd love to see it. Have you considered the Chet Atkins arm, as it allows the arm to hover over the strings (like a Strat) vs. the flat arm which prevents that.
-
I still haven't got mine yet, I'm waiting for pay day. The cherry is available I a few places here in the uk, granted we'll have got the sheratons later than the US though.
Hey gents, while waiting for my Cherry Sherry to arrive, I've removed the Gold Bigsby B7 from my LP Custom, (it was too close to the pots to be comfortable) and was thinking how nice it might look on the Sheraton.
Thought 1, would it be irresponsible of me to mod a Ltd. edition guitar when I have no plans to sell it and..,
2, has anyone used a Chet Atkins wire arm with their Bigsby on a semi acoustic? Thanks!
-
Just got word that my Guitar just arrived in Nashville and is going through inspection, Setup, and QC. SO hopefully it should be here soon.
My Cherry is on it's way to me from Long & McQuades' head office in Toronto and should be here in Vancouver late this week or early next. Can't wait! Glad I ordered when I did as it seems eveyones' sold out of the Cherry.
-
Great to see these things hitting the streets. Send your thoughts on her!
-
Don't you hate the suspense? ;-)
-
Sweet! Pics please with your glowing review?!
-
Excellent to hear! I'm waiting 2-3 months for my Cherry non-trem model but have heard nothing but praise for these guitars so I'm happy to wait.
-
Very cool info Red, thanks so much and I'm ordering that 335 book too!
-
It shortens the functional length of the inner strings allowing a more accurate pitch as you change chords say from an open E to a D chord for example. It really does work.

Their drop-in shelf nut is what i'd put on the Sheraton but my LPC has the older style stepped look to it, still very functional though.
-
I have one on my Bigsby equipped LP Custom and it's quite remarkable.
-
Does the Tusq have benefits over bone? Had you considered a drop-in Earvana compensated nut?
-
Stupid auto correct, not Kingman..., Longman!
-
Hey Kingman, may I ask what you chose for the replacement nut & bridge?
-
I'm waiting for mine! I've taken the plunge and ordered the Cherry with no trem. I'm hedging my bets that it will be of fine quality as the other Epi's I have - a LP Custom (Chinese made) and a Valensi Riviera (Korean) are fantastic quality. I see that Sweetwater already has them in stock but have ordered mine from a local shop on special order.
This is a serious GAS machine and could not help myself. Even my wife is OK with it so why not?!

Anyone got a 1962 50th Anniversary Sheraton?
in Epiphone Electrics

Hey guys! Well here is #821, finally, with my Bigsby B7 and Wilkinson locking roller bridge. I've also added locking Grover tuners, had the nut and frets dressed and yikes, what a player! It stays in tune extremely well and is now my go-to axe for just about anything. I trust you're all enjoying yours as well!
