Kneegloc Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Hi! I was hoping someone could help me with identifying my first guitar, bought for me in the late 80's. It's an Epiphone strat-style with a tremolo (which I tightened to make it a fixed bridge, I don't know why) and I've never seen one like it around. I've played it all these years and still love it. I just want to know if there's a name for it, or a model number, or something, so I know what to call it (you know, she was my first love ). Thanks!!!

Do you think it's really from the 70's, like the ad says? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
