  1. Hi Folks,

     

    I'm doing some Lennon-style work on my Epi Casino and would like to get a vintage-style 2-screw hole truss rod cover. I would love to buy one from Epiphone, but I've heard that they don't sell them as parts.

     

    Does anyone make reproductions? My current cover has three holes and it just doesn't look right.

     

    Vintage ones are quite pricey. Any help is appreciated.

     

    Thanks!

    Dave can make about anything you need

    and many selections to choose from.

    I recommend them highly

  2. The best way to describe the contact with this neck is,

    it grabs your hand as you play it, not letting you leave until you have been convinced of its being.

    You will find yourself either in love or running for the door.

    That simple.

    I never thought I would like it, but I'll be damm if it didn't just whip me instantly.

    Then I had to go all out and add new wiring, bridge, staple pickup and stuff.

    It truly will take you.

  3. I haven't come around here in a while, so I missed this thread

    It's been about a year since a few changes took place in my '55 land:

    I was told waffleback tuners wouldn't work out on the guitar due to the size of the headstock..

    simply not true I see.

    I really didn't do much else but a good set-up

    but Yours looks The Deal.

    Very nicely done

    of course I had a bit of inspiration:

  4. I'm doing the same with my ES 335 Pro

    had to order the pickguard off Reverb from a seller that makes a 5 ply version specific for the current Epiphone 335 Pro,

    I ordered it without the hole drilled for the bracket because I want to glue the bracket on.

     

    I had ordered a Bosco 335 style pg but it doesn't fit, is 3 ply, and looks cheap

  5. For what it's worth, I just picked one up yesterday and there is almost no noise, even with higher gain settings.

    There's bound to be some new, tiny problem with the release of something most people -such as myself- had never even heard of.

    ..but dang if it doesn't sound like the coolest option

  6. been waiting for someone at epiphone to realize how great this would be

     

    'Inspired By' guitars are usually very good, and I have a feeling there is alot of wrangling in the Legal dept. when it comes to a certain star of a Family ensemble that is no longer functional in its original form and everyone has a lawyer on speed dial, or even tougher I suppose, someone whom is deceased-yet still dearly loved by fans who remember his magical playing style, such as The Beach Boys guitarist Carl Wilson.

    A Riviera 12 string re-issue done proper and built at a cost the avg. Joe can afford is all that I really want.

    Fun fun fun
