Boxxymary Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 you should be proud of that fine instrument in your signature. Hi BLP2006........I really am proud of it, especially so since having found out a lot more about it, courtesy of so many good peoples help within these very forums. Did a search this morning about the gold plating issues, that can be troublesome - I was hoping to find somewhere that there might be a way to 'preserve' the sheen of the gold plating......that some bright soul had invented some magical light polishing liquid. Whilst I'm not drawn towards gp as such, I do think it looks nice on quite a few different shades & tones of guitars including my own with it's trans white finish. As to how I'll feel once it begins to tarnish a bit (which won't be too long away, according to the guys at the shop yesterday, having just set it up for me), well, I'll live with it one way or another. It can 'grow old gracefully' and hopefully will retain it's aesthetics regardless (as, I hope, will it's owner!). My own take is as with most others, in that they are their to be used, to be played, not simply for us to drool over them (and drool we do!!) I must say, at the time when I bought it, the gp wasn't an issue that I thought about and, in fact, saw it as something of a 'bonus' considering the crazy low price I acquired it for - ignorance isn't always bliss. Either way, I can't complain...........if life is kind to me, I will hopefully be able to both own a few more beautiful guitars as well as being able to play them a bit, which I'm determined to do. As with all of us, the admiration and desire of guitars is a disease, for which there is no cure. I personally wouldn't take the antidote anyway Apologies for the huge rant & happy Wednesday to all good peoples from Melbourne, OZ Ciao for now all Lindsay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxxymary Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Hey its still Tuesday here tell me does anything cool happen in the future? Unless you can count a 12 yr old daughter less than enthusiastic re: finishing off her Easter Holiday school project.............although I did have 3 Easter buns for breakfast. I reckon, for sure, BLP2006, that your own future must hold things a little more interesting than mine, although there's still the afternoon and evening, when my wife will be home. I predict an improvement of some sort You know, the water goes down the plug-hole the reverse to yours here, too, which still spins me out, since I originally migrated from the UK in 1988.

I envy your very bright immediate future, BLP.........need to think of ways to emulate it. Don't drink or use (non-prescription) drugs anymore, so it will have to be done without alcohol or other mood-influencing niceties. Might have to be going out for a meal, before or after having a thrash around the fretboard.....hardly riveting stuff. Maybe I should head-on over to your place......flight costs aren't too bad at the moment Enjoy the Saturday, my friend, and turn it up to 11.

Ed Zeplin Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 CB, What's the story with the 2 DCs with small block inlays? (model, pickups, etc) I have a 2006 LPDC like your yellow one, in black.

This leaves a clear film behind that protects the finish, after this, any finger marks etc simply wipe right of. Remember to only use a soft pressure when wiping or rubbing the gold areas and repeat this treatment every time you do a string change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(model, pickups, etc) I have a 2006 LPDC like your yellow one, in black. Nice guitar. [/quote'] Thanks, Zeplin... The Red and Black Double Cutaway LP's with the block inlays are LP "Junior Lite" models. Got them both, in 2001. Long since discontinued. I upgraded the tailpieces, and tuning keys (gold hardware on the black one)...just because I liked the look, not because they needed any upgrading, really. They're both really nice guitars, especially since, even with the upgrades, they were less than $550 (at that time). Pickups are P-100's. Some don't care for those, but I rather like them. They're (sonically) between a P-90 and Mini-humbucker. And, no 60-cycle hum! And yeah, the "Faded" Double Cut, is a great guitar, in it's own right. I did change the pickguard, for a mulit-layered one, and added Grover tuners, and a '59 TRC...again, just for personal aesthetic reasons.

bluesman345 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 This is an Epiphone '56 Gold Top made at the Saein Plant, Korea in August, 2004. I have added a Bigsby B5 vibrato tailpiece, a Gotoh bridge, a master volume control mounted on the pick guard, a GraphTech nut, Grover locking tuners, and gold speed knobs. The stock Epi P90 pickups are apparently produced offshore for Kent Armstrong. They really growl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
