evhwolfgang Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Could someone tell me if a Long Deluxe Vibrola will fit ok on a Epi G-310 Junior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoloTy Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Correct me if I'm wrong, but yeah, it should fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcwillow777 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 It will fit, but the unit costs $150. http://www.allparts.com/store/tailpieces-tremolo-tailpieces,Category.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RotcanX Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Some guys like to fire off replies without thinking I see. No, a long vibrola will NOT fit on a G-310, and here's why, so pay attention, artards. The G-310 has a bolt neck. To make that work, the neck is inset by about three frets distance. To keep the intonation, this means that the bridge and tailpiece have to be moved the same distance, about 1 1/4 inches. This puts the bridge right about where the end of the vibrato wants to be. Take a look at a G-400 Maestro and imagine moving the bridge by 1/ 1/4 inches: Crash! ...just kidding about the artard remark. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob SG1281734027 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Even if it could fit, the price of the vibrola would be nearly as much as the cost of the guitar. The 310 is a good starter axe, but if you're looking to invest some money, I'd strongly recommend upgrading to at least a G400 and go from there. If you haven't tried one out yet, give it a shot. There's a very big difference between the two. And Spud, that's a seriously nice axe you've got there. The custom shop case is a pretty nice touch too. I've wanted one of those for ages.

jcwillow777 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 My mistake, I didn't know that about the 310. You learn something knew every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that logo came out nicely on there, although next time I might not make it quite so large... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[img']http://www.marantatech.com/Graphix/maestrocase.jpg[/img] I've seen the photo and few times and I have always loved your case, I love the G-400 as well. I guess I always thought you bought the case like that, I didn't realize you did it yourself. That makes it even more impressive! Very sweet.

Rob SG1281734027 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Yeah, if I could ever find one of those G400's I'd grab it up in a heartbeat, especially considering modding a regular G400 with a maestro would likely leave exposed post holes from the tailpiece.

RotcanX Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 They'll likely show up at MF again some day. They're too popular not to make more of them, one of the most sought after of the 2005 GotM models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob SG1281734027 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 You'd think Epi would see the demand for those and make them part of the standard production line. While I'm wishing, it'd be nice if they'd fix the taper on the side of their SG's as well, but aside from the Elitist line, I don't think that's gonna happen either....

RotcanX Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Probably not, but you never know. They eventually fixed the knob layout on the EE G-400s... a bit. They also corrected the shape of the horns which were really off on the old Saeins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubstar Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 and when pigs fly, they might produce a LH version... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubstar Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 yes, I meant a version with a vibrola, as discussed above... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evhwolfgang Posted March 22, 2008 Author Share Posted March 22, 2008 I appreciate all of the responses. I kind of figured that with the bolt-on neck, that it was too long, which is why I asked. As for the question why a G-310 instead of a G-400? Because I own a G-310 and not a G-400. Besides, I went with the Short Vibrola, which I ordered for $78. I only paid $100 for the guitar a year ago. As opposed to buying a G-400 and then buying a Vibrola, I think I still came out ahead. Thanks again for all of the responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
