I guess it's a non-Gibson. I love my Epiphone EL-00. I don't own any non Gibby electrics...

Please ignore the Gibson since it does not apply to the thread.

ksdaddy, that is awesome. Is that like an external jack or something on there? Very cool. [biggrin]

My two "coolest" are "coolest" because I didn't have access to anywhere close enough to go guitar shopping and there was a "ma and pa" music store where I lived that was pretty decent to work with.

 

So...

 

A purchased-new Ibanez mid 1970s the real thing "patent infringement" es175 clone (except for the obvious Ibanez brand stuff on it - they didn't mess with that obvious illegality) and a Guild SG copy, same store, about a year prior - it has the carved acorns and oak leaves and a marvelous neck.

 

But note that they were as close to Gibsons as I had access to...

It has a 4 pin output jack and I didn't want to change it. Looks something like a DIN jack. I made a short adaptor cord and soldered it onto a bracket that goes on the tailpiece.

Nah. Not one to name them I guess. It amazes everyone that plays it though; it plays like an old Jaguar and sounds more like an old Gretsch than an old Gretsch does.

 

Did you click on the link? There's more pics.

This is my '88 Strat. It was my first real electric, making it cool.

It's a FSR for Guitar Center, so it's a standard that has this Kahler Spyder (Floyd Rose Lic.) tremolo, whick makes it cool.

It has Earthquake Damage from the Big Bear/Landers Quakes of 1992, lending it some Mother Nature Cool.

Now it has a Trio of Blue/Silver/Red Lace Sensor Pickups, giving it some Hot Rod Mod Cool.
