ladyscaglyc Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I'll say that one of the best Epiphones is mine too. An Emperor II Joe Pass in vintage sunburst. Of course any of the Epi hollows & Semi hollows are gorgeous too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matiac Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Pictured below...the only electric I own right now, still my favorite guitar of all the guitars I've owned...with the very slight exception of a certain 2006 Gibson SG Standard I had to sell...sigh.

dougg330 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 How can you really pick a 'best'? My Riviera is the best when I'm playing it, but my IBJL Casino bumps it to second place when I pick it up. Then when I put down the Casino and pick up the Riviera, it becomes the best again. And back and forth it goes. So I can happily and confidently answer that the Riviera is the best. And so is the Casino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayP Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 Hi guys, thanks for all the replies so far! the outcome is being very interesting! For instance, the LP and ES335 types seem to be all the rage - while other that I'd be interested in, like the Broadway or the Emperors Regent/Swingster didn't cast any votes until now... But I must confess I've been really tempted to buy a LP type, but I don't have a clue so far at what model. I'd like something with traditional humbuckers, a simple setup ... and a black pickguard ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Yeah, I have several "Best" Epi's, really. Here's another one, I really love! MIJ '61 SG Standard (2006...last year they were made) ;>) CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoss49 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I have to say, I like my LP plus better than my strat and rg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7C Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I am going to go mad and say the LP Special II. That was my first Epi - also my first humbucker'd guitar. Without it I honestly don't know if I would have had the b*lls to get my Epi LP Standard, Studio and Dot. Good times - good guitar. 7C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmitron Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I've ordered 2 P90 in Melody Maker pickup size for my Epiphone Olympic on Monday afternoon, because I felt at home that the guitar was in need of more bite. I took it to rehearsal yesterday evening. Meantime, Pete Biltoft from vintagevibeguitars had finished my set of p90 packed them and sent them. Now I feel stupid, because at rehearse conditions - higher volume, gain, in the band mix, the Olympic sound Awe-so-me! Sparkle, gritty, wide and still very defined. I even felt some twang! So my 64 Coronet is still my fav. But this little not so collectible Olympic changed my life again - and my feelings about "melody maker" pickups. Damned I love these €piphones!

DizzyFingers Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 To me the Casino is by far the best... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
