lengle1981 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Been a while since I've been on here and was looking on the epi site and stumbled across this. http://www.epiphone.com/News/Features/Features/2013/Richard-Akers-The-Epiphone-Interview.aspx Anyone think they could be working on this model. It's the 20 year anniversary of them signing with creation records this year so maybe an anniversary edition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I also noticed was that the Union Jack guitar is hung up in the back ground. This is surely going to be brought out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the 20 year anniversary of them signing with creation records this year so maybe an anniversary edition? I knew I'd heard of this concept before, back in the 90's when Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher played one: http://britpoprevival.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/the-union-jack-guitar.html I'm not sure I'd have one in the colour scheme though, I'm a traditionalist at heart :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemans335 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I'm not sure I'd have one in the colour scheme though, I'm a traditionalist at heart :) I'm a tradionalist too, but if there's a flag that should be on a guitar, it's a Union Jack. There's been so many great musicians and so much good music from the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lengle1981 Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 I am a traditionalist too but wouldn't mind this guitar more for the memories (Maine road). Don't think I'd have the balls to use it live to be honest ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_s Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Small aside for those not in the know, it's only known as the Union Jack when flown on a ship, otherwise it is the Union Flag :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lengle1981 Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Well as a proud English man and Brit, I'd love to get my hands on one of these if they come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggy Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Small aside for those not in the know, it's only known as the Union Jack when flown on a ship, otherwise it is the Union Flag :) Actually that's not strictly true as the term Union Jack and Union Flag have been officially interchangeable for at least 200 years (in fact in the late 17th C it was officially called His Majesty's Jack). In addition technically a flag is only a'jack' when flown from the Jack Staff at the bow of a ship, all others pennants and flags or ensigns.

Lord Summerisle Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Actually that's not strictly true as the term Union Jack and Union Flag have been officially interchangeable for at least 200 years (in fact in the late 17th C it was officially called His Majesty's Jack). In addition technically a flag is only a'jack' when flown from the Jack Staff at the bow of a ship, all others pennants and flags or ensigns. This is true. If one wishes to be really pedantic, the terms officially became interchangeable in 1908, following a House of Lords debate on the matter. Hence, from 1908 onwards, it is both the "Union Flag" and the "Union Jack." Even in the Royal Navy it can be referred to as the "Union Flag" (a decision the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty reached in 1902) or the "Union Jack," although one imagines that "Union Jack" would be more commonplace in that institution. People often forget that just as there is a code in the U.S. for the American Flag, there is a whole, complex set of rules in the U.K. attached to the Union Flag - it should never be flown in an inferior position to another flag or ensign (with the sole exception of a Royal Standard), should only be flown at night if illuminated, and so on...All of which is determined by a Parliamentary Committee called the Flags and Heraldry Committee: http://www.flaginstitute.org/pdfs/Flying_Flags_in_the_United_Kingdom.pdf Something tells me that it's probably improper to paint the Union Flag on a guitar, too...but I think we'll have to overlook that!
