6string Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I couldn't find anything doing a search but that doesn't mean its not out there. If you already know of a list of the 2014 lineup or any of its components, please direct me to it. If not, let's hear what you think may be included or what you'd like to see. I'm loving the Sorrento reissue and kick myself for not getting the Casino reissue when it was available. I'd like to see another hollow body reissue. I love me a good archtop, and the attention to detail they put into the Sorrento is outstanding. I'd be onboard for either an acoustic or electric reissue if they offered it. What are you hoping for?

I asked them to make a specialty 6/12/mando 3 neck. You think the custom shop could do that ? I envision a LP type, weight relieved...tone chambers, with a 4 string mandolin, a built in octave chorus effect as well as a custom case...is that feasible ?

RobinTheHood Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 They have been strangely silent about new models for 2014. Last year, we knew what was coming down the pipe by now. I'm curious as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgrasso Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I would imagine this will be coming out. Either regular or Elitist. And probably one with a Bigsby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6string Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 I hope the ES-390 will get true......... That would be interesting. Not sure if I'd prefer the smaller body…never tried one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6string Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 More specifically, I'd like to see a full hollowbody, single cutaway, with floating bridge and P90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lengle1981 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 -Non reverse firebird -Union Jack sheraton (the one that's been spotted in some pics) -trini Lopez copy aaa someone mentioned would be nice. Would love a semi/hollow body with that headstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender 4 Life Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 ES-339 sized Casino.....as spotted in a pic months ago !! i'd JUMP a tall building for 1 of those ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender 4 Life Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 this would be the ES-390 thanks.....with all the Gibson and Epi models, I just can't seem to keep up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Summerisle Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 With however many Epiphone Les Paul models and at least a few SGs available, it would be nice if Epiphone could finally turn its attention to the Firebird. By that, I mean serious attention - not another "Firebird Studio," which, whilst it might be a nice guitar, is really just a funny-shaped SG. A through-neck on a reverse Firebird, is, in many ways, what makes that model. Non-negotiable, however, are the mini-hums. Surely Epi could come up with something that might retail amongst their higher-priced guitars, but would still be an attractive proposition - basically a decent version of a Firebird V? Would be nice to see a non-reverse, too. An even simpler project, I'd have thought (set-neck, 3 P90s or mini-hums, don't even have to worry about banjo tuners with a non-reverse - mini-Grovers or similar would do just fine). A bit sad in a way...wasn't 1963 the year the Gibson Firebird was first introduced? 50 years ago? 2013 could have been Epi's "Year of the Firebird" or something. I appreciate Firebirds will always be less popular than Les Pauls and SGs, but I'm willing to bet there is still a pretty huge market for a decent, affordable version of this habitually expensive guitar. ...if only from people who aspire to play in Stones' cover bands...

I'm with you brother. I would absolutely love epi to bring out a non reverse firebird. I keep trying to save for a gibson but something always gets in the way. A more affordable epi version would be great. I'd snap one up right away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkuss Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 An Epiphone 390 would have mini humbuckers. I'd like to see a 3/4 Casino too with dogear P-90s and a Casino style burst, not 335 style. More 60s style reissues would be good. Coronets and Olympics please!

6string Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 The post dated 12/24 on the Epi site under "Features" closes with the following paragraph… "We can't wait to tell you what's coming in 2014. Thanks to all of our artists and fans like you who inspire us everyday. We had a spectacular 140th birthday year. Now, onto 141." Maybe we'll be seeing something soon.

6string Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 I'd like to see a nice Firebird too. I can see bringing one of those home. Especially if it was done as an RI with upgraded pickups/electronics/etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandrax Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 don't be coy, epi, show us what ya got! Oh indeed, I'm desperate to buy my first Epi (likely a Sheraton 2) but I don't want to spend the money I have in case I miss out on something really cool from the 2014 line-up! Problem is, the money I have is burning a hole in my pocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tweed2 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 While a Firebird would be nice, it would have to be the correct shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
