RotcanX Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Well, the Sun is a star, so technically I guess you could call it Starburst... My next Epi... well, they've got nothing I want right now. However I could have said the same thing last December but then the distributor got some of these in: ...'bout the only thing that would get me GASing would be an Elitist Explorer... which is not going to happen, the Elitist as a line is a dead thing. Some kind of set-neck LP Doublecut, either in single or double P-90 configuration might also be a cause for walletary deflation. So basically we'll wait and see what Epi has in store for the future. There's that story about the reissue of the old Epi Wilshire/Coronet/Crestwood to come but between you and me that's going to be a huge flop; those guitars are fugly and only Epi phreaks will buy 'em.

pohatu771 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I just bought a Strat, and the next guitar (I've already decided... June 28) will be a Martin 000X1.

cabeza Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Lookin' at copping either a Fender TC90 Thinline.. or a Joe Pass.. It'll be awhile I 'gas' up enough to get anything else this year, as I went a 'lil haywire with the guitar buying in '07. But.. U know how that goes. All it takes is that one good deal u just can't pass up.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Unfortunately, Epiphone took the two models I was consdiering, out of the line - the Elitist SG and the Vintage G400. For me, an SG has to have a bound neck, and all the current SG models are a little too stripped-down for my taste. Maybe a Prophecy, I;ll have to deliberate a little on that. I could do without the Bling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesman1281734028 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 My next will probably be a Casino with the natural finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pohatu771 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I never actually said what my next Epi will be... I'm intrigued by an SG Junior or SG Special (if there was a set neck version available), but I'm also looking at Dots... But who knows, I may end up with an Explorer or Flying V if a deal presents itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerxst1281733995 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Ahgh! You're killin' me Spud! Every time you show that LP Special, I like you a little less! The unbridled envy!! Cabeza, that TC90 is bee-yoo-ti-ful... I love Fenders that cop some Gibson vibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the best consistency quality wise of any standard Epi model I've found. And Gary (I think), The Explorer provided a little GAS relief, but Dot might cure me. For a while. Unless I can find a Blackheart locally. Or another good deal. ;) Anybody got some tums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svet Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I just bought a Strat' date=' and the next guitar (I've already decided... June 28) will be a Martin 000X1. (2000 Squier Strat on the left, 2007 Fender Deluxe Players Strat on the right) mmmmm Martin!!! If all else fails they certainly smell the best! All kidding aside I love my Martins in all aspects! 000-28, d-35 and a Little martin I hope you get one Pohatu771, I think every guitar player deserves at least one Martin acoustic!

garyelcrrt1281733995 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Ahhh! I was hoping for a nice "Martin vs. Larrivee" hijacking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svet Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Ahhh! I was hoping for a nice "Martin vs. Larrivee" hijacking... Sorry Gary, I can't help you there as I've never played a Larrivee! I am sure they are fantastic guitars! Mr. Memphs, are you trying to give me more GAS and pique my curiosity? Well it won't work I swear, no really aaaaghhhhhhhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judybat Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I have a Larrivee J-05 that I bought new in 1997 that is a very nice guitar. I don't think they make that model anymore, though. It is a jumbo size and has a great bottom end. Very nice guitar. I went in that day to buy a Martin D28 and got hooked on this one (and spent a good bit less money that day - figure that). judybat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prospero Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Speaking of Larrivée, have a look at their new RS-4 solid-body electric. http://www.larriveeelectrics.com/ Anyone know how many thousands they're going to be asking for this thing?
