JayGLongBeach Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Ok - Today the good news just came out! The government's stimulus plan just got approved.

Guest Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 And they hint that a McCartney Casino is in the works. I have to admit that even I'm a bit curious about say..an Elitist level Crestwood Custom ????... but the last thing Macca needs is more money from some hokey endorsement deal. The only difference is the headstock and the color of the knobs and pick up covers (and a Bigsby) and that will add up ultimately to a minimum $300 up-charge over a post-'63-styled model...pleeeeeeze.... then again, maybe Macca got raped in that divorce settlement and needs the extra dosh... ...and Al's your uncle.

[/quote'] Since the run of Lennon reissues seems about to be sold out, a Macca signature reissue looks to present Epi with the opportunity to bring another similarly priced (and quality) instrument to market. There's probably an audience who would buy a reissue like that for its collectable potential, another audience who would buy for nostalgic or sentimantal reasons, and another audience that would buy to get a vintage spec instrument with a Bigsby. Plus it's good PR for modern-day Epiphone to be associated with McCartney. And it probably does him some good, too. I bet there's more than a few younger forum members reading this wondering who he is and why anyone would want a reissue of his guitar. And say, wasn't he the bassist? Plus, since the guitar will (hopefully) be made by the fine Luthiers in Japan, and will be priced accordingly, owners won't have to feel guilty about any potentail exploitation of the Chinese. Gotta go practice the Taxman solo in anticipation. Red 333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
