Guest Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I would like to see these: Limited Edition Elitist Epiphone Zephyr 311TN inspired by John Lee Hooker :) Limited Edition Elitist Epiphone Firebird with Lollar Firebirds inspired by Dennis Coffey [cool] This is the Gibson Firebird Guitar Dennis Coffey used on most of his sessions. He purchased this guitar used in Detroit in 1964, and is his best all around session guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pohatu771 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 This blog post hints that there will be something issued in the old Silver Fox finish. Whether it's this model or something else, we'll have to see. http://epiphoneblog.wordpress.com/2009/10/07/for-the-vintage-freak-in-all-of-us/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxHart85231281734137 Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 i like this style body as opposed to this one that silver fox finish is the Bees Knees man, Its time to do some searching! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmitron Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 which one? The symetrical body Wilshire is the 1962, and has already been reissued, I think :) So maybe you're talking about the Crestwood then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deflepfan Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I'd like to see one of the new Juniors that are supposed to be coming out. There was a post somewhere that said they would be selling for $299? Curious. Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxHart85231281734137 Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 Hey COSMO, its actually all of those bodies, i know they reissued an expinsive american made production of the wilshire with P90s, but i would like a cheaper reissue with these bodies styles weather its a crestwood or a wilshire i dont care, I just really prefer that body to the wilshire worn 66 reissue long and short horn style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmitron Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 My bad! I've read your posts again. "I mainly want to know if anyone has herd if they are going to do a cheap model of the made in america wilshire" That should have been cleear enough. :- sorry. IMVHO, there won't be a 'symeyrical' body indonesian/chinese wilshire that soon. My guesses are €piphone will use probably the 66 wilshire body templates and decline it with different options.

cosmitron Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 In my case, I'm very interested in what €piphone will reissue in their historic line. Though it smells like Coronet Silverfox, I'd like to see more of "Kalamazoo historic" RIs. But there's a quote from Jim Rosenberg in the last Guitar & Bass issue: "We've got our own personality. Gibson is constrained by its history. We're not so serious." I wish they could be serious on crestwoods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxHart85231281734137 Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 yea i feel yea cosmo, what do you think of the worn 66 reissue? played one yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmitron Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Not played yet. But I've played the HB limited. Build Quality: 17/20 Playability: 18/20 Sound: 14/20 Value for the money: 19/20 Vibe: 15/20 I have too many priority GAS before buying the worn 66 Ri, and sadly there's no chance to meet one in guitar shops around. But I feel like it would get the same rate than the limited HB edition and the minibuckers add that historic correct thang. From what a guitar maker said: The guitar is an easy player, got the right look, the neck really captures the 'wilshire coronet crestwood' thing but more modern - which probably means it's wider at the nut-, but the pickups at hi gain goes mud and lose their musicality, and the sound is somewhat brighter than what you could expect from mahogany, and upgrading it with expensive boutique replacement pups won't necessarily change that.

7C Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I believe there is another Slash model due out later in the year. Now I really like Slash but this is maybe too much. I am not going to be happy until the 57 re-issue Junior is available again. Or what about a nice Firebird in Prophecy spec? Dream on. 7C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaj Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I'd be happy with a Firebird VII. And a Firebird Prophecy. And a Coronet like Cosmitron's (that thing is gorgeous and sounds brilliant... at least in his hands ). And a 57 Les Paul Goldtop. And a Les Paul BFG (just like Gibson's). And a SG with a Maestro. And another Les Paul Standard in Iced Tea, Goldtop, Vintage Burst, Ebony, HCS, Quilt Maple Tops, Tiger Eye. And a Zakk Wilde Les Paul Buzzsaw (the new one that is, but with the EMGs 85/81 on it). And a Slash Les Paul... sure, why not? And on, and on, and on... Too much GAS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmitron Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I would spend bucks for a USA Crestwood deluxe 64 ri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmitron Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Hey COSMO' date=' its actually all of those bodies, i know they reissued an expinsive american made production of the wilshire with P90s, but i would like a cheaper reissue with these bodies styles weather its a crestwood or a wilshire i dont care, I just really prefer that body to the wilshire worn 66 reissue long and short horn style[/quote']Anyone tried these? Coley Guitars They have a "symetrical body" Coronet. No idea what they cost though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonylmiles Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Anyone tried these?Coley Guitars They have a "symetrical body" Coronet. No idea what they cost though. As a lifelong Steve Marriott fan I commissioned this guitar to be built in 2009 because I'd given up trying to find a good condition '62 Coronet that was both affordable and' date=' most importantly, playable. A lot of the examples I'd come across had been either badly looked after or customised to a ridiculous point. The specs of this guitar are on the Coley website for anyone interested in finding out more. James obviously gives quotes vary based on the customer's requirements but I can tell you that this model cost around $1800. I don't think that's a hell of a lot to pay considering the quality and craftsmanship that's gone in to the instrument. Sure it's still a replica at the end of the day but [i']what[/i] a replica! I plan to put some YouTube clips of the guitar in action fairly soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
