wilwood Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 i bought an original 1967 epiphone wilshire all orginal nothing missing or replaced with original case. when i finnaly recieved the guitar i noticed it was more of a brown colour i just thought it was cherry that had faded to a brown but then as i was surfing the net i found two others that were also brown but these looked to be purposefully brown and not faded cherry. i was just wondering if any of you guys could tell me if they did make brown wilshires in addition to the cherry ones and also what other colours were available.

cosmitron Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I also have a '67. Its color is somewhere between cherry and oxblood I think. If you could provide some pictures, I would know if mine has the same color as yours. Here's mine: By the way check this: the Crestwood Deluxe and the Olympic are definitely cherry red while the Wilshire looks totally brown. :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gypsyseven Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Maybe it's a refinished one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmitron Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 A friend bought his wilshire -cheap- refinished in nitro pelham blue. As it was a serious mess he stripped it down. The naked guitar has a similar tint! please take a look: Is there weather checking on yours - any kind of signs that would tell it could be the stock finish?
