wardog Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I saw this during work today and had to ask about this. Owner was not present. No serial number on back. gibson trust rod cover and the krazy headstock. Is this really an epi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkEpTiKaL Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 It's a Coronet. Here's a picture of one with single coils and a Vibrola instead of the Bigsby: EDIT: Just found another one with the same pickup configuration. Looks like the Bigsby might be aftermarket on yours.

wardog Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 you are correct on the bigsby. I had a further looksy and it is aftermarket. The gibson trust cover is too. What was the possible year of fab and how nice are these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 you are correct on the bigsby. I had a further looksy and it is aftermarket. The gibson trust cover is too. What was the possible year of fab and how nice are these. The red guitar with the Bigsby (and the blue guitar in the stock photo) is a late 90's Epiphone Coronet reissue that was made in Korea and the Bigsby is after-market. Value:< $200. The sunburst guitar is an Epiphone Olympic Double (made 1960-1970). Value :around $1500. Nelson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ef_in_fla Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 The gibson trust cover is too. OK gotta call ya out, you did it twice. It's "truss rod cover". Don't want you to sound like some noob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wardog Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 Thank's for the call-out. Was in a rush to leave work. After getting it home, and taking off hardware to clean and re-string. I discovered truss:-# cover is a replacement of a smaller one. Funny part is i do not see the holes left behind by the oringinal tailpiece. knobs are not the same too. It needs some care to bring the shine back out. It will make for a nice guitar to get experience with on the "do-it myself" upgrade sessions.

wardog Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 did more research and it is a 1991 coronet. bisby is original. the pick-ups are not. original pick-ups where obl's. truss cover had coronet on it. everything else is original.
