Alan1281734120 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Hi foks, Just a quick question regarding the floyd rose setup. Do you think Epiphone should make a version of the Les Paul and SG that come with this with setup? Also, I would like the SG version to come with a coil tap as this is an excelent feature. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks, Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe2Grind123 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Oh man seems like a perfect match for an SG - never seen one with a F/R before but that would be hot. Les Paul? Not sure it 'fits' the style but why the hell not if that's what you want = ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan1281734120 Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 well, Gibson have a Les Paul with the F/R configuration, would be cool if Epiphone made a model. The SG would be an extremely good guitar if it came with both Coil Tap and a F/R. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpiEric Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Epiphone has made Les Pauls with a Floyd before. There was one available as a limited edition a few months ago: http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Epiphone-Limited-Edition-Les-Paul-Studio-Electric-Guitar-with-Floyd-Rose-Tremolo?sku=519398 I'm not sure an SG has a thick enough body to mount a Floyd rose.

GeeMan Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I wish they did still make an Epiphone LP studio with a floyd rose. I would buy one for sure. Especially in Arctic White. I know that they did make a Gibson model like that last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinTheHood Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Not sure about FR trems on the SG, but for a couple years in the 80's, Gibson put Kahler tremolos on some of their SG's. And I've seen some Kahler SG mods on the internets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalhed717 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 i would love some flyd models, especially an sg. they could make it a bit thicker to handle it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinTheHood Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 i would love some flyd models' date=' especially an sg. they could make it a bit thicker to handle it[/quote'] Me too. I had one of the SG's with the Kahler trem, and it was hard to keep in tune. Although, that was a loooong time ago and I had no clue about set up at the time....I just remember struggling with it alot. I love FR's though. I never have a problem with them and would LOVE to see them put on SG's...Epi or Gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawg086 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 This is my les paul studio. (sorry about the bad pic ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue sparkle Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I Wish they did. I used to think it looks wrong, but now the thougt has grown on me. Floyd Rose is just fantastic, do the wild divebombs or subtle vibrato kind of thing. (It`s a tool for your creativity) Alex lifeson is using it on his Les Paul`s, i seen one on a SG (Tommy Iomi) and what`s the name of the Journey guy? I think Epiphone loose alot of markedshare, not having guitars with Floyd Rose. 3. epiphone`s i would love to see: 1. Epiphone 339 (Please, please make one. the 335 makes me look like a dwarf) 2. Epiphone Les Paul Floyd Rose 3. Epiphone SG with Floyd Rose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
