BlueEpiphone Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 First, I am happy with my Les Purple 2 guitar. I installed the tuners that Whitmore Willy sent and they are a huge impovement over my originals. The tuners Willy sent all had tooling marks on the C-shaped arms that suppport the key shaft. My originals were lacking these marks and as a result the key shaft had too much slop. This extra slop kept the shaft's spiral grove from meshing with the winding spindle gear. With Willy's generous assistance I now have plenty of time to enjoy my LP Special II before I buy some upgraded tuning machines. Does anyone have one of those green LP's? Is it an Epiphone or Gibson?

BlueEpiphone Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 Also I found a non-manufacturer's pic of the Blue LP Special II Limited Edition Plus-Top. Is that the owner reflected in the guitar finish? Please post a pic of your Blue LP II if you have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitmore Willy Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 The green one has small bridge studs. The knob positions look correct. And the frets appear to have nibs. I've never seen one that color but it does appear to be a Gibson. The blue one seems to have a major blemish on the bottom bout.....LOL Can't wait 'till AF sees it!!!

midiman56 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I've never seen one of those "Iguana-bursts" in person ... only in pics. Epiphone made one at some point that was no where near as yellow towards the center of the body. Interesting ... Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueEpiphone Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 I google'd "iguana Burst" and found more pics. The fret marker dots on the neck are red. They look very nice. Is AF is aware that "The Hairdo" may have three relatives in Karachi, Pakistan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueEpiphone Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 That guitar is definitely you! Is your cat friend a lady? Don't rely on you nose! Unless you are a cat you might not be able to tell for sure...find another cat to confirm she is. The three thugs I met in Pakistan say you may be related to them...they said they would like to visit you in Texas. They asked me if there were any gun laws out there and also wondered if they should wear leashes. You're on your own if they decide to visit. Send back any packages postmarked from Pakistan if you don't want them in your home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
