macoshark Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Ok-- Well noticed another Epi for sale, but wondering if anyone here can pin down DOB and Manufacturer. The photos showed an orange label, Gibson on TRC, serial number begins with S01xxxxx. Back of Headstock had a label showing inspected and set up in USA. Thinking "91" Samick but wouldn't mind a little confirmation. the label appeared orange but that might be just a shade off by whoever took the photo. thnx
vomer Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 That sounds about right. The serial number is consistent, and my '04 Saein has the orange label. I don't know exactly when Samick made Epiphones till.
bobouz Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Gibson on TRC, serial number begins with S01xxxxx. 2001 made by Samick.
macoshark Posted October 28, 2014 Author Posted October 28, 2014 Thanks for the replies- By the way, Bobouz, I noticed you have one of the JLH AIUSA Sherrys. Do you like to play her a lot, I noticed your a bit of a collecter. Just wonder how different the JLH sounds than atypical factory Sherry?
vomer Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 2001 made by Samick. Sorry, that's what I meant by saying when they made them till, yours being 2001 not '91.
macoshark Posted October 28, 2014 Author Posted October 28, 2014 Vomer- Not saying your not right and it makes sense. The only thing that throws me off is the Gibson on the TRC. Owner said he bought it in 2003 and he is the original owner. Didn't ask him about the TRC. Guess it's just one of those things. thnx
vomer Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Gibson on the TRC. Yes, that's correct, lots out there with Gibson trc's, or the epsilon.
Jon S. Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Yes, that's correct, lots out there with Gibson trc's, or the epsilon. Indeed. Most Epi's made throughout the 90's until around 2003/4 had "Gibson" TRC's.
