JohnMcClane5000 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Hi, I've missed the 'Texan-Train' a few days ago with the new Texans (cause Thomann has them already sold-out) and I wanted to ask if the new wilshires had a glossy or a 'dry' finish? I'm curious because the pictures don't really give anything away... If anyone could help it would be superb! JM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pohatu771 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 The 1966 Wilshire, with mini-humbuckers, or the one with full-size humbuckers? The non-reissue, based on the actual later-model Wilshire is a worn finish, so it has no gloss at all. The modified version is gloss like most other guitars.

'Cause the thing is, I thought the 'Aged Cherry' one to be glossy-mat because if you look at the pictures, the round corners reflect much more than the 'worn cherry' and 'worn black' ones, hence the name 'aged' (where the finish has aged rather than worn-off) or am I misunderstanding something?

jcwillow777 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 the new ones with the minibuckers are named "Worn 66 Wilshires" so I think te worn means not glossy Peter Yeah, that's what I thought too, but this is what Epi says: Epiphone Worn '66 Wilshire Electric Guitar Features: * Body type: Solid Double cutaway * Body wood: Mahogany * Scale length: 24-3/4" * Neck Joint: Set * Neck wood: Mahogany * Fretboard: Rosewood * Neck shape: '60s slim taper * Frets: 22 medium jumbo * Nut width: 1-11/16" * Fretboard radius: 14" * Bridge: LockTone Tune-O-Matic and stopbat tailpiece * Pickups: NY Mini-humbuckers * Controls: 2 volume, 2 tone, 3-way pickup selector switch * Tuners: Premium die-cast 14:1 ratio * Hardware color: Nickel * Finish: Gloss polyurethane * Fingerboard inlays: Rosewood with mother-of-pearl dot inlays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMcClane5000 Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 Thomann told me: Aged Cherry ---> glossy finish, all the others are worn, meaning mat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnMcClane5000 Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 WHAT?! WHY?! Oh man I'm going to miss all my guitar-purchases because Thomann's either deleting items or not ordering enough guitars (Texan).... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
