brianh Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I searched in vain for the celebrities with Epiphones thread but couldn't find it. Anywho, here is the cover of the latest VGM with Ms. Wilson's one-off Epi LP - at least it's not a model I've seen before....cherry sunburst, bird's eye maple top with Bigs.... http://www.vintageguitar.com/current-issue/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not-Too-Late Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 That Bigsby would look good on my new cherry burst Plain Top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonzoboy Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 At 57 years old Nancy Wilson is still quite a fox on top of being a great guitar player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insulinboy Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Is that the lassie from Heart? Yes, she did guitar and backing vocals and her sister did bass and lead vocals.. How I will never understand. I could never get the hang of singing while playing bass save for a few select peices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blofeld Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Gary Clark Jr seems to be a big Epiphone fan... Casinos and Masterbilt acoustics. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECbgzgvfG4Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 333 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 By the way, the ES-175 is featured in this month's Vintage Guitar magazine (Oct 2011, Vol. 25 No. 11). It was reviewed very favorably. They wrote: "There are plenty of affordable hollowbodies on the market, but Epiphone's...is almost a slam dunk." They wrote that "versatility is not a problem for this Epiphone," citing both its "sumptuously warm, and wood tone," and its "fat, commanding rock tones." While they did note a sloppy glue joint on the cutaway binding, they also praised the "stunning" finish. They concluded the review with, "The ES-175 Reissue is a classy, stylish guitar that says 'vintage jazzbox' on the outside, but with its fast neck and punchy pickups, rock players will dig it, too."

Lead singer Ann Wilson was never Heart's bass player. There were several bass players on tour and on the recordings, but Ann was not one of them. With a voice like hers, she don't NEED to play nothin'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis G Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 At 57 years old Nancy Wilson is still quite a fox on top of being a great guitar player. And going thru(or recently went through) a divorce, so there's hope for ya Bonzo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzoboy Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Nancy is one day younger than I am,that's how I can remember her age and birthday-Mar. 16 1954.I would be kind of flattered if she picked me but my Missus would neuter me first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, she does have the most amazing voice in the world but actually, Ann plays many instruments proficiently and is an accomplished bass player and played bass on songs on Hearts Bebe Le Strange and Private Audition albums. She also was the bass player and lead singer for many years with The Lovemongers, another band she and Nancy were in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad1 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Yes, she did guitar and backing vocals and her sister did bass and lead vocals.. How I will never understand. I could never get the hang of singing while playing bass save for a few select peices I've seen heart twice. She never touched a bass. They have always had someone else play the bass. Not sure why you thought she did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
