iansmitchell Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 They should NEVER have discontinued the '57 junior. Or the SG junior. I'd really like to see a GOOD beginners pack with a '57 junior or a similar SG junior(set neck, mahogany slab body), and a valve junior combo, gib bag, stand, strap and picks. If it was say, 3-400 bucks I'd but it in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funkwire Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the Joe Pass model... All of the hollows and semi-hollows...Dot, Casino, Sheraton, Wildkat. It's nice to have reasonably priced models in the archtop line. I haven't had the pleasure of playing one yet, but they should keep the Firebird. Those guitars have always intrigued me. Of course I'm biased about the '56 Gold Top... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RotcanX Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Also.. from a retailer's point of view, I think it'd be good to have more standard colours on some models. A white G-400. A natural top LP Custom. A white Dot. This is an easy way to make it look like there's more selection and keep things interesting on the store racks. Heck, the EM-1 is only available in black... a good start but sheesh give us some more options on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would even go so far as to order a color i wanted if it didn't mean paying CS prices ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[img']http://www.modernguitars.com/imagefiles/gibson/GOMlarge/Wildkat-TW.gif[/img] Nice, Ricochet! I think the only thing I would do (and this is just my own preference) is to change the pickup covers to black...keep the gold screws and pole pieces. though. Hmmmmmm... I wonder what Cream covers with gold screws and pole pieces would look like, on that? (Maybe too different?) Can you get "white" covers?" LOL! But, it's really nice, just as it is!

The_Sentry Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Epiphone should never, ever...EVER discontinue the archtops they make. In fact, if for any reason Gibson and Epiphone went through hard times, I think that archtop line should be the LAST to go. Sure....get rid of the Gibson knockoffs, get rid of teh masterbuilts, the acoustic guitars, the basses... But please, keep the archtops going.... In fact, I think that Epiphone should have exclusive domain over those. Oh, it's true Epiphone is going through a minor boom right now with their cheap, Chinese guitars/....but you know something? It's not going to last forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like that deep maroon red that my Jorma is in on the Casinos or the Dots. My Riviera is that cherry red but I wish it was the deeper red.

Yeah, I'd like to see wine red, cherry red, and faded cherry on every model. Dump that cherry sunburst crap though, and HOW MANY black guitars can there be?

RotcanX Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 LOL Ian... those are the two most popular finishes for the Les Paul Standard. Don't think they'll be stopping production in those colours soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANd they look BUTT UGLY. Like a really bad hotrod paintjob. I know black sells well, metal crown, punk crown, country crowd, but to be honest it's tiring to see so many in plain black and so few in wine red....

RotcanX Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I have to agree with ya there. I'm also big on various shades of cherry... which is kind of to be expected, being such a bigtime SG freak... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
