Not-Too-Late Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I came across these pictures that stumbled me. Can anyone identify them? Three pictures, three different guitars. I know this next one is a Standard, but can anyone shed light on the logo "Rebuilding By" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad1 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Well there are many here that can help you with the first 2 guitars, but not me. However, I did a little "thinking", and figured the logo meant, "Rebuilding- note - by - note". I plugged it into Google and discovered it does indeed mean that. It's from an organization called "Music Rising" started by U2s The Edge, and producer Bob Ezrin. It's for helping out the victims of the Katrina Hurricane. Here's a link that will tell you more, and has pics. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/epiphone-limited-edition-music-rising-les-paul-standard-electric-guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaSTuS Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I would hazard a guess that the first one is a Crestwood Custom, third one down the page. Crestwood Custom The second one seems to be a Wilshire to me, but what variant I couldn't say. BTW: if you have any model ID questions, the Unofficial Epi Wiki is a great place to have a browse, put together by members RTH and Sjael, it's a tremendous resource.

Not quite every bit of info, but more and more every day. I'm surprised I'm not burned out on it yet.

Hungrycat Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 The third guitar is a limited edition "Music Rising" les paul. This one isnt in the wiki yet, but I have been aware of it for some time. I've never seen the Epi version, but the Gibson version is damn cool. They have one on display at the Nashville airport. It kind of has that Zoot Suit SG "Clownburst" thing going for it, except not stupid looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm already in hock for the one I just got her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
