Ricochet Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 On http://epiphoneblog.wordpress.com is a picture(or part of it) of a new Epiphone prototype. Anyone like to guestimate on what it is? I'm thinking Emperor Gretsch-style with Bigsby and filtertrons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWANG Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 looks like a spruce top..and some kinda 'trons' for sure. digging that bound board, multi bound body as well! very good. finish is nice.. good color.. not too much orange.. bigsby would be a definate plus... and fit what we can see, for sure. cool!

ButchCassidy Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Definitely filtertrons of some sort. Looks like the end of the neck by the neck pick up will be in the { shape. Looks like a big hunk of single cutaway. Or maybe a wildkat elite? na... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender 4 Life Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I had a 1968 Univox Coiley (335 copy) with rectangular pole filtertrons. That old Japanese guitar had a really unique tone, definitely made for the blues. They sounded like a hybrid between mini humbuckers and P-90's. That guitar will always be "the 1 that got away" unless I find one for sale somewhere. This wasn't mine, but it was identical to this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
