burchster Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Winter NAMM is right around the corner and Epiphone has yet to give us a peak at any new models. Personally I'm hoping for another 60s Sheraton reissue. What's everyone else want to see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt4356 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I'm hoping for a new riviera or sheraton, can't see us getting a sheraton though due to the new 'pro' ones! Would also love to see a 345 after missing out last time! In reality there will be some 'new' les paul, available in every colour and burst imaginable!

cody78 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Would also love to see a 345 after missing out last time! Good choice, I'm with you on that one I'd also like to see more Elitist models besides the usual Casino. Would love to try the Byrdland and Broadway Elitist models that were made a number of years back as they looked fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearhead88 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 A 50's Les Paul Junior re-issue , Mahogany , neck thru construction ( not plywood & bolt on neck ) with a P90 & Gibson shaped headstock , in vintage sunburst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromnabulax Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I saw this one pop up on Musician's Friend last week and has my attention, but at $1,000 it really ought to have a case. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/epiphone-limited-edition-es-295-hollow-body-electric-guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lengle1981 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I'd like to see: -A riviera with mini humbuckers -A 335/345 with soapbar P90's a bit like the 339 they brought out. -a firebird in the non-reverse model (never gonna happen, I know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campbell Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 A Flying V would be nice (Korina, even?) It’s been a while since they’ve offered a proper Flying V. The Jeff Waters Annihilation-II Flying-V does not count…bolt on neck!?! Are you kidding me!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peskypesky Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I'd like to see some Epiphone Firebirds like... i'd also like a white Dot or white ES-335 Pro, along these lines... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgrasso Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Archtop reissues of the Emperor, Luxor, Zephyr, Deluxe, Triumph and Century.( and a shout out for the Howard Roberts) Masterbilt reissues of the Texan, Excellente and Frontier But more than likely we will get low end Gibson Clones.

kidblast Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Now that looks cool, I've never seen a Epiphone version of a 295. hmm, they did have these in production some time ago, I think they came stock some sort of proprietary bigsby, with the pitch logo fork on it, gold finish, p90s, flowered pg. here's a vid from like 6 years ago. https://video.search.yahoo.com/video/play;_ylt=A2KLqILcG51W.2EA3yQsnIlQ;_ylu=X3oDMTByZWc0dGJtBHNlYwNzcgRzbGsDdmlkBHZ0aWQDBGdwb3MDMQ--?p=Epiphone+es-295&vid=eb7d7b4b2fb1100063e420ddb369af61&turl=http%3A%2F%2Ftse1.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOVP.Va84b7b8bda6a6520f18ecc3916cf6b59%26pid%3D15.1%26h%3D168%26w%3D300%26c%3D7%26rs%3D1&rurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DwZ33s1sZgzc&tit=Sold!+%287%2F12%2F2009%29%3A+Epiphone+ES-295&c=0&h=168&w=300&l=364&sigr=11bu07425&sigt=1128kj8em&sigi=1315rffoc&age=1246822202&fr2=p%3As%2Cv%3Av&fr=yhs-mozilla-001&hsimp=yhs-001&hspart=mozilla&tt=b here's an Ebay add from one from whats reads as 2007, could have been modified with a USA Bigsby http://www.ebay.com/itm/Epiphone-ES-295-gold-semi-hollow-archtop-guitar-in-excellent-condition-/161947069185?hash=item25b4cc2b01:g:jTUAAOSwL7VWmAFl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 All Epiphones at original, accurate, Kalamazoo Spec's! Correct headstock shape, for each model, and Gibson truss rods, and 2-hole TRC's. Also, the Epiphone "Gibson" clones, with Gibson spec's, including Gibson headstock shape, with Epiphone Logo...like they do in Japan! Probably never happen, but that's what "I" would love to see! I don't really care, where they're made, as long as they're well made, and "accurate" to the original, pre-1970 Epiphone's made in Kalamazoo, MI. USA!

burchster Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Yes I would love to see some archtop reissues. Also the master built Excellente and Frontier. But my ultimate want is a 59-61 Sheraton with white carasouel knobs, pre gibson laminated neck with the chunky v shape and either new york or mini humbuckers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One can only dream. Some really good calls there. The frontier and the excellence would be a great move for epiphone. My AJ-45 masterbilt is a thing of beauty, those models in the masterbilt range would be excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I kind of wonder why they have yet to reissue the Emperor Regent, disco'd in 2010, that was really nice/affordable jazz box right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lengle1981 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Does anyone know when we should hear about the new products? When will epiphone release the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burchster Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 Namm starts tommorow I would assume we will see then I hope they got good stuff but like previously stated we will probably just get more gibson knockoffs instead of some Kalamazoo/pregibson stuff.

Elias Graves Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I read a post recently about some upgraded Kats and perhaps a Pro Alley Kat.
