NGD: Epi 50th Ann. '62 Crestwood Custom


Kestrel

Recommended Posts

Just wanted to share a couple of pics of this little gem I picked up over the weekend on clearance. Came complete with a nice hard case and a binder with a certificate of authenticity. Didn't know what to make of the mini-humbuckers at first, but they sound nice. Not muddy as I was initially expecting. It's very well put together and plays great. The only things I'm considering changing are the nut (eventually) and the bridge. It definitely needs a roller bridge to make good use out of the tremolo.

Very nice guitar, Kestrel - congrats! [thumbup]

 

The lower position of the neck pickup is a very rare feature. This gives a distinctively different tone, also when used together with the bridge pickup. I love these sounds of my Frank Zappa "Roxy" SGs. Perhaps FZ took the idea for his modded SG from the Crestwood?

 

Have fun with this nice Epi!
