Happy Birthday! Do you remember how the T-Rex played guitar with them short arms?

So plugged her in, the neck pickup was easy to get clean but didn't dirty up well without boost. Bridge pickup dirtied easy, but didn't clean up as well. Still have more fiddling to do, but I like the pickups. The kill switch spring is too stiff, so I'll see if I can pop it open and cut some coils. If not I think I have a spare.

I’ll be plugging her in shortly....

That’s purdy! I was looking at a few of them when I found my j45 20 years ago.

My HP Flying V had a slightly repositioned button, but that was because they contoured the heel. I see no reason why they did that on the SG. Curiouser, and curiouser.... $4 straps and $2,000 guitars don’t mix. Unless you do double duty as the tambourine player, and lead guitarist, holding your guitar helps. Although some seem to have mastered both....

8.7k neck 13.9k bridge I’m liking those readings, especially since the magnets are alnico, no idea if they are II, III, IV, XXVI etc...

Well she did arrive today! I need to dress the fret ends, the action was set by a drunk 4 year old, and the truss rod was overtightened, but so far so good. I ran out of my regular strings so I’m doing a drive by set up for now. I added strap locks and a fender amp knob, and I may try to find a white chicken head knob for the varitone. I’ll try to plug her in tonight if I have time...

Powder is better for sticky nuts...

I think if the SG hadn’t come along, I’d have a metric buttload of crestlines, et275’s, coronets and Wilshires..... and I still might.... This is one of the few guitars that is distinctive Epiphone, and not just a Gibson copy. I’m excited to try out the varitone, the only other guitar I had seen with one was the “hawk” guitars and those don’t appeal to me. I think my sons mcokingbird has something similar, but I haven’t messed with it too much. Ups said it would be here Friday, but I’m not sure I believe that.

I’d shoot for 50% less but it should be any easy fix, but what else is damaged? How was it damaged?

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...

I loudly criticized the management over the constant stream of Chinese spamming, was told to stop because it hurt the mods feelings, then told the mods to **** themselves. Here’s my BFG...

I’m banned from tdpri. The BFG’s are sweet guitars. I have the p90, and was thinking of getting the humbucker one too, but a wilshire has got me distracted.

That looks nice, I may hit my HP V and BFG with some of that stuff.

I keep trying to sell out, but nobody’s buying..

So where’s the pictures?

I don’t know if anything is a real “upgrade” but a 57 and 57+ would not be a mistake.

Dude! That’s tempting to pick up another, I got mine for $729... I’d get a HB model and put some ******* covers on the pickups... I am not a Neanderthal.... We don’t have uncovered humbuckers in this household.

That’s a confusing short history... I got one of the newer p90 versions, I wish I had the humbucker in the bridge like the older version. Very nice guitar. And well worth the clearance price.

It’s not the case it’s the guitar. Vanilla is a better smell than cat pee... don’t ask me how I know....

Play it, or put it in the case.

If I'm paying that much I want one of the old cardboard cases with a broken handle, and duct tape holding it together as well. Bad Gibson!

1) How does it play? 2) Quit measuring ****, and play it. You're welcome.

I had to google what the CM was... I like it. I'm not afraid to modify anything, but I seriously think you should send it to me for proper disposal... Or I'll trade you something for yours... I like that a lot. Check out my BFG thread... My link
