deflepfan Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Brian, I was surprised to see only three Genesis, as I was under the impression you had more of them than that. Regarding them, I see that two have headstock binding and square fretmarkers while the third has less binding and only dots for fretmarkers. Were there different levels available (similar to a Standard v. Custom Les Paul) or are the differences from different eras of the guitar? Also, the two single pup guitars in front, is the first (closest to center) a Junior and the one to the right of that a modified formerly two pup guitar? They don't look the same size and the knob placement is different. Finally, as I am completely lost with identifying semi's and hollow bodies, is that a Riviera on the far left? If it is, I am getting better at identifying them. When Max posted a pic of his, I was very confused as his sig had a Dot, but not Rivi, and I thought it might be a Rivi. If it is a Rivi, I think I have located the next guitar I need to get (as I have been informed that I should get a semi or hollow body to help round out my "collection"). Unless of course, I can get Sledge's Wildcat before he sells it to someone else! Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did have it dressed up at one point to see if it would work. In some previous photo's you've seen, there were five - my buddy's Deluxe added in for historical accuracy of the three models issued. Actually, I'd need a Genesis bass and the low-end "The Genesis" which was offered in the last price list in 1980. I have no idea what that one even looks like, never seen one or even a photo.

The other is a bone-stock set-neck '57 Reissue Jr. that I just got last week (from a guy in Boston strangely enough). It is a great guitar.

Are the pups as hot as the write ups say about this axe? They are suppose to be Epi's version of Gibby's 496R/500T I think. Correct me if I am wrong.

outforblood Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 How do you like the 500T pups I have one on my V and love it. The 500t kicks arse! I took it to GC the other day and plugged into a Valveking half stack and did a comparison with a Gibson faded sg...the Epi won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoop Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 You'll have to excuse the Fender that snuck in there (though I think you'll agree it's not a bad looker) but here are my Epiphones. From left to right. my 2009 MIC Casino. Absolutely perfectly crafted this one and a joy to play. Then my 2006 Les Paul Standard Plus. Also immaculately crafted and finished. The rosewood on the fingerboard is especially beautiful. I love everything about this guitar. Has Seymour Duncan Alnico Pro II pickups fitted. And to the far right is my 2006 G400 SG. Completely stock apart from the custom made large pickguard, and again, faultlessly finished and constructed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chapter24 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Here are my current Epis. Obviously a Korina G400 I've had for around 7 years. The next one might be considered sacrilege- it's a Peerless Songbird acquired about 3 months ago. I tried it, liked it and I got a good deal on it! Apologies yo all you purists! Previously owned a 1986 (or thereabouts) cherry red Casino (gorgeous guitar, why on earth I sold it I'll never know) and late 80's Natural Sheraton. Awful.

midiman56 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 As usual, I'm quite late to the party. Nevertheless, I thought I'd add some of my own "guitar porn" to the thread. You guys all have such great guitars ... and your photogtraphic skills put mine to shame ... but here goes: First, my workhorse Les Paul Ultra ... geeze this is a difficult guitar to photograph ... Next up, my Les Paul and SG Prophecy GX ... The classiest guitar I own ... the B.B.King Lucille ... I guess this is the rarest one I own (at least until Epi re-releases it) ... the Firebird VII ... Finally ... not only a looker, but great fun to play, the '58 Korina Flying V ... Congrats to all of you for having such amazing instruments to enjoy!
