BillyGibson 13 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 We now interrupt this thread for an explanation of a previous post. The out of tune refers to Neil saying the bigsby always causes it to always be permanently out of tune, i.e.,his signature sound. It was a joke. Now it's not funny because I had to explain it. We now join our thread where it previoulsy left off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SamBooka 2 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I am going to say something EXACTLY like an Emp Reg but in 18in. (or a Super 400 cutaway in Sunburst with a floating pickup) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Supersonic 522 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 How about some sort of Epi version of one of these babies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brianh 395 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 They had one - it was the Zephyr Blues Deluxe: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

brianh 395 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 That's why they called it the "Switchmaster" ' Seems like overkill if you ask me... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Supersonic 522 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 That's why they called it the "Switchmaster" ' Seems like overkill if you ask me... Possibly. I still think it's cool. You never see those Switchmasters around much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

crust 175 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I'd like to see a decked out full size guitar like the Switch master. That would be very cool indeed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dem00n 736 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 How about some sort of Epi version of one of these babies. Thats a luxury guitar...no offense to Epi but it be wrong if they made a cheap version of that one... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, Epiphone has NEVER been associated with fancy hand-made guitars with lots of pickups, switches, inlays, figured woods or high-quality workmanship.

milod 665 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 First, I think both Gibbie and Epi "brands" have to figure what will have sufficient appeal for a manufacturing run regardless. If a run didn't sell fairly quickly, it's a message to the powers that be to figure something else. As an old guy, I don't care much for "signature" models or even so much for "bling." Epi already has a very nicely priced ES175 model I've read good things about. It shouldn't be too hard to do a one-floating-pickup with pickguard electronics on the same piece for roughly the same money. It's time again for an update on the Dot Studio. It should have pickups with covers, probably enough of a "shiny" finish to reassure "us" it won't absorb moisture applied by accident to the outside so well. I see Epi currently as having three roles as part of Gibbie. #1 is the less expensive versions of classics; #2 is experimental inexpensive stuff to fit the moving target of "kids current rock fad" stuff; #3 would be some variations of classics that share Epi/Gibbie traditions like the Joe Pass and some of the old Epi-Only styles both electric and acoustic. But again, to get the best bang for the buck, whether you're doing the counting for the company or the customer, there has to be a run that can be made economically per-piece and there has to be sufficient sales demand to be sold at a perceived value point. I s'pose Epi could make up a batch of "studio" LP bodies and paint 'em crazy for special sales, but... I'd prefer more creativity. Also, I do think a robot Epi could sell. A two-pickup lp special or SG type of thing with robot tuners should be salable at what, $4-500? An advantage to lotza Epi robot sales would be also to increase availability of replacement parts... <grin> m Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just ask this guy: That was years and years ago, show me a luxry Epi made in china in the past 5 years? Make my day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
