Fadedepi Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I spent sometime this weekend looking for a bass guitar. (Yes, a bass guitar?) One stop was at the local "Guitar Trader" shop. They're a Gibson/Epiphone dealer and sometimes have unusual stuff. The items I found that might be of possible interest were: 4- New Epi "Wilshires, all with Cherry Red finish. These are the only Cherry models I've seen. (other than pics) These were beautiful examples. I played one unplugged, nice neck, (cream binding) very playable and the craftmanship was excellent. I wasn't sure we'd see the Cherry one's here. (California, USA) I haven't seen any available from the usual online dealers. If anyone is interested in a Cherry "Wilshire" and can't find one, I'm willing to help. 2- New LP "Studios, in Faded Red finish. Here's the kicker, they had full cream binding on the bodies and necks. They also had chrome covered humbuckers.... WOW!! I played around with one these too, very nice!! They were EE Serial NOs. Again, if anyone is interested in one of these, I'm willing to help. Faded.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadedepi Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 that faded cherry studio would be interesting to see... for sure I forgot to mention, the back of the headstock on the LP's is stamped with the Epiphone Custom Shop Limited Edition Logo.

zerostreet Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Do you mean these? These are standards not studios but they match your description. I saw these on ebay. Sorry for the huge pics but these are the ones on Epi's press site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadedepi Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 Zerostreet, No, these were Studios. Red like your pic, chrome HB's with black rings and no pickguards. Faded.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
