crust Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 will reorder....soon :) Â Â Well, I did order another guitar today...Not an Epiphone . I believe this will be quite nice (if it doesn't arrive broken) Â 2014 Les Paul Melody Maker Electric Guitar TV Yellow Satin Musician's Friend Estimated Shipping Date: Feb 7, 2014 Â I liked the Epiphone LP's I previously had, This one looks like the "real deal", Made in USA . If I didn't like the Epiphone ones so much, I most likely would not have obtained this Gibson. Now I will have to wait about a month before it's shipped...not too bad . Heres a couple pic's of the Epiphone TV yellow LP's I used to have that are also "satin TV yellow" (sold to my youngest kids guitar playing friends to fund this Gibson Melody Maker). Now I can't wait . Hopefully, all will go well (I did not order from Amazon/Sam Ash/FEDEX this time) So, I went with Gibson this time. Looks like the Pelham Blue Epiphone SG with Maestro trem, will have to wait until some time in the distant future. I guess it was not meant to be (right now)...lol I like the 140th anniversary fretboard inlay...looks cool, makes the guitar a bit different than a plane Jane Melody Maker LP. The Gibson Melody Maker LP is a bit of a combination of those 2 Epiphone LP's. So, what do you think ? Should I order a scratch plate to go with it ? Mounting hardware ? If so, where to obtain ? Does it look better without a pick guard ? :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crust Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Those melody makers look great and cheap for a gibson. I loved the LPJ in gold that they brought out last year too   Well, I cancelled the Les Paul order. The guitar isn't available for shipment until mid February. I could have waited but decided that the yellow color wasn't for me at this time (another day most likely). So I did cancel the Les Paul order, for another Epiphone Riviera P93, black. I do like the 2 (wine red and gold) I already have. I'm going to set this one up with the bridge set a bit on the high side, for open tunings. So, This should be here next Wednesday or Thursday. I ordered from MF this time (not Amazon/Sam Ash). I've never had any problem with anything from MF. Also, my oldest son, who is also somewhat of a guitar hack (like me) likes the wine red one the best of all the instruments here. He was happy to see another one for slide playing and dropped D stuff (he likes that chugga chugga cookie monster stuff...go figure) lol. So, whadda ya think ? The saga may actually be coming to a close    got my fingers and toes crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crust Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 I spent some time doing some minor set up work. I lowered the bridge, raised the pole pieces and tuned it up. Sounds great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
