Pennyman Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 From Epiphone's blog: "Remember Those Cool Gray Cases From The Early 1960's?" "Anybody remember those cool gray Epiphone cases from the early 1960's? This re-issue beauty made it's way to us this morning. I wish I could tell what is inside of it... but it's TOP secret. Trust me though... you're gonna love it." Hmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midiman56 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Epiphone is hell bent on ruining my marriage! I wonder what this one is? Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Maybe...a New "original spec's" Riviera...In Faded Cherry, Royal Tan, and Vintage Sunburst finishes??? Wouldn't THAT be COOL! ;>) That's what used to come, in those "Gray" cases. Hey, I can always "dream," right? The Case should fit the Casino's, too.

Pennyman Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 Whatever it is, I'm thinking that it probably has one of these attached to it: After all, Epi wouldn't go through all the trouble of redesigning and manufacturing the Tremotone just to put it on one model.

Bender 4 Life Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 whew!!! before I saw the pic, I was imagining the old grey cardboard cases...... some really good geets came in the cardboard cases though.....my '68 Univox Deluxe Rosewood thinline semi-hollow (Coily) came in 1. I wonder which (semi or full) hollowbody Epi is fixing to pull out next........ maybe it's a V.O.S. copy of the origional Sheraton, with Gibson Minis and a freakysator.......hey, I can dream too !! or maybe it's their take on the new B.B. King Lucille...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Buffalo Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I'm hoping for an Excellente. (The money's already in the bank). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyGibson Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Is it an Epi Larry Carlton signature? That would be cool. I also saw a picture of a gold Riviera p93 on MF's website the other day. It wasn't offered yet, only the wine was available. I'll definitly hold off on any semi-hollow purchase until this mystery is solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eggs Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 OMG... another 'mystery case' (Ref: today's posts in the 'Epi Biggest Loser Update Thread' in the Lounge). I am not sure I can take any more of this subtefuge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydeadblues Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Looking at the case, it's probably a double neck...or maybe a triple neck...Ha no but I really hope it's a reissue Sheraton or a Riviera! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 333 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Yes, it could be a Caiola, which started out as something like a Casino (hollow) but with mini-humbuckers (later models would get P-90's). Red 333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
