charlie brown Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Well, Matiac beat me to it, as I was going to say...for that amount of money, I would NEVER buy a "Wilshire," as much as I kind of like them...which I do! But, for that kind of "Coin," I'd opt first, for a VOS SG with Maestro...ANY Day! If the Wilsire's were down around $1,200...then, I seriously consider one. But USA made...THAT "ain't going to happen!" CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenrirlupus Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 WOW! same as the old wilshire, but with a less attractive paint job! oh boy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenrirlupus Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 for that price i could fly to japan and buy several of those treasured non american released open book head stock epis and make everyone cry!!!!!! can i come with you? i've been learning japanese for the past 3 years... today we were learning about flammable garbage... (they sort their garbage into "flammable" "non flammable" and "recyclable" (plastic and cans are recycled, paper, cardboard, and wood are burned...) :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larkin38 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 To be a correct reissue this should have mini humbuckers I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wardog Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 gibson sg classic with p-90 in cherry. only 999.99 at guitarcenter. There is one at my local gc and i thing it maybe time to trade in. father's day is around the corner!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stig Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 For that price, I'll get that Rickenbacker I've always wanted and maybe an SG as an appetizer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Summerisle Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 My own feeling is that these guitars are cool, with a sort of pawn-shop chic. I feel the same way about Italias, Airlines, Burns, Vox etc. The trouble is that (in my mind) hyper-expensive reissues then seem like a total overindulgence. For less than the price of the Wilshire, you can buy a Les Paul Standard ($2500). Which would somehow feel like a better investment for a gigging musician, when spending these sort of sums... It reinforces my opinion that these limited edition reissues are destined for the bank vaults of collectors, rather than the stage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duane v Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I'd buy it for $1300 new..... that's the highest I would pay for that guitar.... Just give me a gig bag and make it out of the same wood the 2008 Gibby LP Juniors are made of, and Epi has a buyer=d> However I would pay $2500 for a re-issue USA made Crestwood Deluxe.

JefferySmith Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Is this Epiphone built in the Gibson factory on Gibson equipment by Gibson luthiers? If so, it should be Gibson quality rebadged as an Epiphone. Isn't that sort of like the BMW company making a VW lookalike and charging the same amount as a BMW?
