jonny_2_owls Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Maybe it's just me but that colour looks like its been photoshop'd??? Just doesn't look right...looks too flat. If it is real it's one smart looking guitar though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is real it's one smart looking guitar though! Yeah, man. Its all messed up. His arm and instrument cable cast a shadow to the bottom-left, while the tailpiece and control knobs cast a shadow to the bottom-right. The control knob shadows seem too short as well. Also, his arm doesnt cast any shadow in the f-hole. That whole area is very weird looking to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, his arm doesnt cast any shadow in the f-hole. That whole area is very weird looking to me. Yeah definitely... There is a very strong light hitting his arm the trapeze and the pickups but the guitar is just so flat looking where it should have an awful lot of reflections on it. The trapeze has a dak line around the top edge that wouldn't be there too. I am a trained illustrator and would like to think I have a half decent knowledge of light/shade etc and that guitar looked wrong the minute I saw it. Could be wrong though....

I am a trained illustrator and would like to think I have a half decent knowledge of light/shade etc and that guitar looked wrong the minute I saw it. Could be wrong though.... No, you are absolutely right. There was probably too much reflection, so someone doctored the photo. As an artist myself, I understand the complexity of shading and shadows, but this is a daytime photo with only one light source, so the shadows should all be facing the same direction. The more I look at it, the worse it gets. lol. A shadow for the arm, but no reflection. A reflection for the instrument cable, but no shadow. The shadow for his forearm where it meets the edge of the guitar should curve on an arc away from the forearm instead of being in a straight line to the forearm, etc...Though I will admit, that the recolor is very clean even if not accurate. But yeah, awesome color for that guitar. I'm surprised that Epiphone never did a Blueburst on that model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crust Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Epiphone please make an ES-175 in that color...please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobouz Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Epiphone please make an ES-175 in that color...please Epiphone made a ES-135 in a blue-burst for a little while. Might have been a guitar of the month, or some such thing, but for sure it was a custom model based on the blue-burst 135 Gibson. Not a 175, but sort of within spitting distance!

Bluemans335 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 This pic is on the Epiphone Facebook site It's much better with a trapeze tailpiece than a big, bulky Bigsby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobouz Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 There are or have been Blueburst Gibson ES 137's and ES 330's Actually, the Gibson ES-330L is not a burst. It's done in Beale St Blue with visible grain. I happen to have one, and they're quite nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you are right... I just wanted to mention two of my favourite guitars... I looked at the Beale blue 330 but chose the vintage sunburst...

The link to the article from Epiphone it stated they expect to release later in the year. Prime example of the left not knowing what the right is writing.
