intruder79 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 hello guys! a few day ago some Genesis lovers! met to toast for holidays!! on this occasion we had a special guest, a beatiful PRS Singlecut, (in the first meeting the guest was Gibson Les Paul) http://www.mylespaul.com/forums/other-epiphones/249336-epiphone-genesis-meet.html we could compare their sound and were more than happy that the Genesis once again showed his great tone, even beside to a guitar that are more much expensive. everything went better than planned and had a great night! I hope you enjoy the pics folks! happy Holidays!! 1980 Epiphone Genesis Custom ( original pickups/ Gibson knobs) 1980 Epiphone Genesis Custom / SD jazz+JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vomer Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Cool get-together . Great to see more of your sparkly blue one, I really like that, and I wouldn't usually consider blue. Any other forum members there? And a happy new 2014 to you too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkuss Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Genuinely gutted this isn't about Genesis shaped toast! Looks like you had a blast though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaZie Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 These are all old Genesis guitars. I wonder how new Genesis compares to them, in terms of sound, playability, crafmanship quality, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc1funk Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 These are all old Genesis guitars. I wonder how new Genesis compares to them, in terms of sound, playability, crafmanship quality, etc. I was also hoping there might have been a comparison of the old and new. I bought a new one last year cos it wiped the floor with everything else (with Humbuckers) under 500.

intruder79 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 IMHO, honestly, The old Genesis have much of the "old school" crafmanship, very different of today guitars... i was played several Les Paul Epiphone (china, indonesia, etc) the last i play was a really nice honeyburst Les Paul Plus Top Pro, lovely guitar, but not even close to a vintage Genesis. The feel of the neck on the old Genesis is amazing, the neck is real fat on my 79 blue, glorious, and noticeably thinner on my 80s sunburst but also nice, the body too. i dont like so much the slim 60s profiles. I read the excellent review of Brian and i think the new was a really nice guitar for the money, but the old ones are several steps above.imho. The old Genesis haves that tone and sustain that make it a real kickass guitar. including testing them beside a lot more expensive guitars. i feel very fortunate to have encountered them let some pics 1981 Gibson Les Paul Standard, 1980 Epiphone Genesis Custom, 2012 Fender Stratocaster Custom Shop Pro Model. check this reviews for more opinions http://epiphonegenesislovers.blogspot.com.ar/p/reviews.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffsct Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I don't know why I've never noticed these Genesis. What a cool little ax. I might play a new one & if I like it look for a vintage. Very unique LP alternative for sure. Thanks for the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Powers Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Here's mine. ALL original - every screw, ever fret, every wire. Hasn't been played since 1984. Never gigged. Sounds great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crust Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 30 years.....don't you think it's about time to strum it....a few times ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Powers Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 30 years.....don't you think it's about time to strum it....a few times ? I have strummed it a few times - but just a few. I bought it off the original owner and I'm going to sell it as a fully original sample. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
