TWANG Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I changed both of mine. I've changed just about every guitar or bass I've ever owned. I'm me. I want what I want. And then I like it. *S* TWANG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done little subtle things to most of my humble collection to make mine different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarxBros Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Actually' date=' if you read the description completely, it says "a solid maple cap with a highly flamed veneer." Since the flame is purely cosmetic and has no bearing on tone, I see no difference in that and agile's top, which I highly doubt is a solid piece of flamed maple either, at the price point they offer thier guitars. Add in the Gibson pickups, and the non-weight relieved body, and I'm already in line to buy one. Maybe two, one of each finish. :- [/quote']Well you're wrong. AL4000 model - 3 /4"+ (20mm) two piece maple cap. The flame pattern runs the entire thickness of cap.

MarxBros Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 To some every thing Agile says is gosple' date=' and every thing Epi says are lies, So be it. Me i'll take the company with over a 100 years behind it but to each his own. Stan.[/quote']100 years behind what? If you think the current Epiphone has ANY relationship or bears any semblance to the original Epiphone you're delusional. You got one part right, it is BEHIND.

MarxBros Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 and you've seen one cut in half? or anyone else for that matter? You don't have to, you can plainly see the flame run through the full cap in the pickup cavities. I've seen a few with the pickups pulled out. The 4000 is their only full flame thickness cap model, that's why it costs a bit more. Thier lower models have full maple cap and 1/16" flame top.

Gibison Epiphone and Finder TO ME IMHO not only re-invented the wheel so to say but they make it perfect everyone else has been chasing them for the longest time.... one gimick or another Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stan 58 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I'll take the guitar that was built by the company that made it in the frist place, and yes i do believe Gibson had alot to do with how my Epi Iguna Burst was built, and i like to see Les Pauls name on my Les Paul. I know thats silly but hey thats just me. Stan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svet Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 This has me intrigued as well! Is this what has become of the Elitist series? It does sound a heck of a lot like the departed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
