Spyke1 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 What is it about Epiphone guitars that people just can't resist taking pictures of them? Oh, it's because they're gorgeous. Now I understand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 myztk I love your Bluesmaster. Would love to try one of those out......I assume by the cover it has a truss rod....disadvantage with some of the vintage guitars they don't have a truss rod... I am hunting for my 5th and last guitar (I only have room for 5, besides the wife would kill me) I have 3 Epi's and a Levin acoustic archtop. My 5th guitar will be a parlour style delta blues flattop. I will go for a Levin as the are top drawer, if you get a good one, and you can get a vintage one for between $135 to $270 here in Sweden. here is a Levin parlour in action [YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE] However, the Levin flattop I am favouring at the moment...the Levin Texas model 27....one of these will be the 5th guitar [YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myztk Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 Funny, I am on the "Five" guitar kick as well! Circle of Fifths? I don't know. Both those Levin's sound great! I assume the Texas is a little more versatile. Tough choice. I love the Bluesmaster. To my surprise it has become my "go to" guitar and really inspired the purchase of the Wildkat. I was so impressed with the workmanship and Bang for the Buck, that I wanted another Unsung built guitar. I have more expensive and "better" guitars, but the Bluesmaster stands up to temperature fluctuations and pretty vigorous playing. Definitely a candidate for the desert island guitar!

Guest Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 myztk wrote I assume the Texas is a little more versatile Right on the button, that is why I am leaning that way, nice compact sized flattop that can give me a Delta Blues vibe and also just use for a few view Dylan, Morrison, singalong songs and also great playability. Pity we don't live close to each other you could come round and ejoy one of my Sherris and I could try out that Bluemaster. Your point about temperature fluctuations is a good one. Guitars need a set up fine tune winter and summer here in Sweden. Is there a Epiphone or Gibson equivalent to the Levin Texas model 27 I wonder....what size and tone is your Gibson L-20?

myztk Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Brothers from another Mother. It's basically the same as the Bluesmaster (a little deeper and solid Rosewood not laminate mahagony) and a LOT more expensive and rare. Apparently only about 35 or so of them made it to the US market in 93/94. Some Koa ones ended up in Japan, so you still might see one in Sweden.

Guest Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Sweet as a peach that L-20 I had a quick look here in Sweden and only thing close is a Gibson L-130 Manufactured in: Bozeman, Montana/USA and it is selling for $1,760.................... I can pick a nice Levin parlour or texas for around $200 and the Levins are the company that Martin bought to make their guitars all hand made in Gothenburg. On my budget it has to be a Levin...all things considered http://www.blocket.se/sodermanland/Gibson_L_130_24876411.htm?ca=11&w=3&last=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
