JefferySmith Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I'm still a bit in the dark about the "inspired by" line of Epiphones. Are they supposed to be a cut above the others, or simply historically important models? Same factory as the other Epiphones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 According to Epi 1...they're "historically correct," in appointments, body shape, number of laminates, and other materials. American parts/pickups, as well. Played a couple, recently, and they were outstanding versions, of the Casino. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since losing the Elitist line, I hated to see the Epiphone be more of an entry level instrument. I hope this line is successful and inspires Epiphone to make more models of high quality.

mamm7215 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I agree with Charlie Brown above, that's what made me go with the IBJL over a stock one. Feel, fit and finish is, imho, definitely more solid feeling than the couple of stock ones I played. And I quite liked the stock ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyg Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 +1 i would really like to see like this carl perkins model That Carl Perkins guitar is a 61-68 Epiphone Emperor E112T and is a holy grail for me. I've never even seen one in the flesh but I did catch Carl playing it on a re-run of a Johnny Cash show. A vintage guitar site says "It was the most expensive Epiphone guitar' date=' and by 1963, it was available by special order only. The 1966 price list estimates a 120 day waiting time from order to delivery."[/i'] So if Epiphone feel like making a reissue they can put me down for one as well, I'll be happy to to wait 120 days for it.
