If Someone Gave You $10,000 What Epi's Would You Buy?

10, 000 bones, eh? And (for the sake of the just-for-fun question) I have to spend it on Epiphone instruments?

 

I would like to find an ebony Elitist EB-3 short scale bass. Those are pretty scarce, but they used to have them on the Epi website, a couple of years ago. Check it out:

Also, I would look for an Epi EB-5 bass, in ebony. Why, here's one now! (I doubt I'll bother though, it's way out in San Fran, and I am saving for my cello.)

That would take me through about 1 and 1/2 of the 10 grand, at most.

 

So what next? Hmm....

If I was gifted 10k and I could have any guitar of my own choice I would undoubtfully get a Gibson L5 in VS. I've been lusting for one for a long time but I've held off the GAS. That's not hard to do when you're talking L5 money.

Gotta be prepared for any situation.

 

I also know who I'll eat first in a nuclear holocaust.

And some handy martha stewart recipes. It's a good thing.

 

 

Good Idea! I'd go up to Chinatown, cause I like a bit of Asian (careful)

Well, well...$10000.....If I have to buy an Epiphone, it would certainly be an Elitist Les Paul...and with the rest of the money, I would buy a Gibson Les Paul Custom or Standard and a Fender American Deluxe SSH Stratocaster, and a Telecaster...If it still some money...I'll go for a Traynor amp YCV40WR me too.....

Is'nt nice to dream ???

I'd buy a Gibson LP Ebony Classic and get it set up really nice

and then use the rest of the money for a big marshall half

stack!!!!!!!!!

 

Hah, I'm 1/2 of the way there dude! :D/

 

Anyone who wouldn't add a Fender to their list is not being open-minded IMO.

 

Let's see here, I'd get meeself:

 

Angus Young SG

Some kind of Relic Fender Strat

'67 Gibby SG w/Vibrola

Epi Elitist SG

Gibby VOS SG (any year reissue)

'65 Gibby SG w/Vibrola

 

OR

 

I'd pay Angus Young all $10,000 for his '67 SG.

 

OR

 

I'd pay Brian Johnson all $10,000 for his voice box. (He's amazing)

 

Cheers!

Well good question, probably the ones I have just got, SG G400, LP Black Beauty 3, LP Custom, Wiltshire bat wing, Flying V and my Strat oh and a tele just for the heck of it, and may be a G 400 Special OH a Alleycat, a dot. Then some serious accessories cases, AMPS BIG AMPS definatly a Marshall 1/2 or maybe even a full stack, then with the left over money build a studio to practise my Epi's in...... #-o (if there is any money left over)

 

 

Oh well almost there just need the amps and a real studio and I'm set. :D/ I have six of the guitars above just need to get the other four and the other toys.....

 

Cheers

Hmmmm..any Epiphone? Like most others would get the Elitist line of a LP Standard, LP Gold Top, SG, Sheraton, Casino and would help out with the Wildkat I am getting today #-o Then would come the amps..I want an Epi Blues Custom 30! I have a Galaxie 10 and love that little amp, so the Blues Custom 30 would fill what this amp won't do, and a VJ half stack. Then with what was left over get a good Epi acoustic.

Hmmm....

 

Changed my mind.

 

One leftie Tony Iommi SG, One Leftie Sheraton 2 (with modified 490/498 Gibson pickups), new nuts for both....locking tuners for the Iommi...good cases for both....

 

For the rest of the money?

 

Killer PA system......or a Pro Tools software station......either of those would go further towards advancing my music vs. giving in to excessive GAS.....
