Shawn1281734081 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I got this cool guitar and I dont know anything about it other than it's an Epiphone Gibson and it's cool. I gave it a custom paint job too. Can anyone here tell me more. http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u125/Magnusthebold/octoberfest024.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roswell Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Most of the people here probably know better than me, but that looks a lot like a Prophecy EM-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RotcanX Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Definitely from the same family tree as the EM-1 and the Prophecy EM-2. Note the reverse Explorer headstock. "The EM-2 is Epiphone's version of the Gibson M-III. They came in black, red, white or sunburst colors. Its body looks a little PRS influenced. The headstock is a reverse Explorer style. The EM-2 has a locking Floyd Rose tremolo, unlike the EM-1 version which has a non-locking tremolo. Hardware is gold color, and the three pickups are humbucker - single coil - humbucker. EPIPHONE made the EM-2 (EM-2 Rebel Custom) between 1991 and 1995" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 That's wild...I thought it was probably "black" to begin with, and he'd put gold leaf on it, and it was just scratched in places...??? ;>0 CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a kid, building model cars...who knew that paint compatibility would be a problem...until it melted the car, or at the very least, wrinkled it! LOL!

Shawn1281734081 Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 why is it in the bathtub? It was the only clean place in my apartment and I wanted a white backround so it was easy. Just put it in the tub and shot it. Looks weird too I guess but the guitar stands out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The black painted objects are a Dragon a fighter on the end and upper is a warrior maiden a flag and a troll and theres various runes and accents and pin stipes painted in metallic blue. This picture really doesn't do it justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
