I have always wanted a Wilshire, and was eyeballing some MIJ 70’s models, and the newer models.
The newer models had a really fugly 6 inline tuner headstock, but had some models with nice looking but goofy vibrolas.
The MIJ 70’s models were decent but the nicer ones I could find were sunburst, and I just can’t bring myself to get a sunburst, but they had nice 3x3 headstocks. I wasn’t sure of the quality of electronics on these, and I wouldn’t want to modify them.
Then I came across this... it’s some dudes signature model, Frank Iero, from “My Chemical Romance”. I don’t think it’s my style of music, but the guitar is.
It looks like it has some decent alnico pickups and a 6 position varitone switch, and a kill switch.
I got it for an alright price, but I’m pretty sure I won’t have to modify anything.. and I like the color.
Here’s the epiphone page.... Guitar specs
This is the best demo I could find...
