EpiEric Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Looks like Epiphone.com has undergone a pretty significant redesign. I think it's a little bit easier to find things now and they've put the discontinued models in their own section. Interestingly, the "Les Paul Plain Top" has been showing as "discontinued" but it looks like they are just calling it "Les Paul Standard" now while the Plus Tops remain "Les Paul Standard Plus Top." Limited editions that are currently in production are listed in the appropriate sections as well (formerly, it seemed like a lot of these never made it to Epiphone.com at all - like the Special SC).

EpiphoneFan1989 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Yes, it seems to be a new design. I like it. The guitars are better described and the site looks more modern and clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a good idea for them to spruce up their site seeing as how they should be getting plenty of attention with all the rocksmith stuff.

RobinTheHood Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I saw it this morning. It looks good. Better organized and cleaner. I'm a little bummed that some of the links are gone though. No downloads page or links page anymore. I hope they dont take them down entirely...especially the press pages. And yeah, the LP Plain Top went back to being just the LP Standard...like I predicted. YAY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianh Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 It's a better layout, but looks like they've got a lot more work to do. The Out of Production page only has 15 models on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpiEric Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 I saw it this morning. It looks good. Better organized and cleaner. I'm a little bummed that some of the links are gone though. No downloads page or links page anymore. I hope they dont take them down entirely...especially the press pages. Good point, RTH. The layout is cleaner, but I hope they don't take away previously existing features. Looks like the press site is still there as it was, but no longer linked from the main site. At least for now. It's a better layout, but looks like they've got a lot more work to do. The Out of Production page only has 15 models on it... There are some missing pics here and there, also. The ES 345-355 are suffering from "Red X syndrome." Interestingly, the Les Paul Jr. was listed on the Les Paul page with no pic earlier today, but it's no longer there at all. On Out of Production that looks like only the stuff that's been discontinued in the last couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Well I like the new layout. It's more like the Gibson site now. It's much improved IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notes_Norton Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I like it. It looks cleaner and it seems to work more efficiently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Yeah, and they have more "current" photos, too. That was one thing the old site, was pretty lax on. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinTheHood Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 There are no Prophecy guitars listed. Discontinued or otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinTheHood Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 They are still in the "2011/12 Catalog" The site still shows some faults - some have been corrected I think, they're working on it Yeah, I was hoping to see some higher resolution pics of the new designs. I'd be willing to update the Epi website on a monthly basis...for a small fee of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinTheHood Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 If anyone is interested, you can still get to the old version of the Epiphone website here. it has a www2 address instead of www. I'm sure this is just an oversite and is temporary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
