Epiphone Signature Models?

Meh, I just vote they add more models to the elitist line.

 

The thing about signature guitars is, they're signature because the guitar player is playing a unique guitar... Not the guitar their favorite player uses.

george harrison SG with maestro

spec'ed (sp?) to those guitars, with no visible signatures or other obvious signature model appearance

other than the features the originals had...I guess a signature facsimile on the back of the headstock is OK

The Clapton signature 335 first sounded like a good idea but when you think more about it, it would just be a regular Dot with some scratches and "weird powder" (lol, check out the GC video) in the pickup cavities. Buy a cherry red Dot (preferably Elitist) and you've got your own Crossroads ES-335.

Gary Moore or a Peter Green Les Paul...not sure which one yet.

 

ROFLMAO' date=' you kill me, Ric!

 

Normally I could not care less about Sig models... if I had my druthers I'd much rather see Epi bring out a nice quality, full thickness set neck doublecut which they could offer in single dog ear and dual soapbar versions...

 

BUT

 

The one guitar I would probably go apesh¡t over as a Sig would be a replica of Marc Bolan's Les Paul, a Standard with a Custom neck, just strange enough to be interesting (first time I ever saw uncovered HB's or a zebra HB).

...the pic on the right shows the guitar before the assumed 'accident' which made a new neck necessary... unfortunately I'm probably the only guy in the world that wants one of these so I'm not holding my breath!
