cunningham26 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 So are we to assume epi_insider is working at epi US? and if so, why do we all know so much more than he/she does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSAR Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 if only santa could put on a scratch plate ](*,) I certainly wouldn't buy one with it already installed. I think they look wrong, and so do empty screw holes... <_< An LP Custom pickguard maybe... but even then, probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I certainly wouldn't buy one with it already installed. I think they look wrong, and so do empty screw holes... <_< It didn't bother John Lennon or the millions of other people that take the pickguards off of their guitars. The point is, it's a much bigger pain in the a$$ to get a new guitar and have to drill holes in it rather than just taking the thing off and having to deal with, gasp!, a screw hole showing. :o I could understand if it was a flame top Les Paul or something, but these are reissues of classic ES series guitars. Are you going to take the pickguard off of your Wilshire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiekiduk Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 how many of the shipment from the manufacturing plant in China do you think they actually quality check at Gibson USA? 1 in 10 maybe? I guess if there is a defect they'll be checking and fixing every single one that could be the reason for the delay of it hitting the US stores and its been available in China already.

Are you going to take the pickguard off of your Wilshire? I'd love a rear routed Wilshire...but I don't think this one would look too good without a PG... I just personally prefer the look without one on these...and I know screw holes, or screws don't bother most people...but I'm just not too crazy about them. I'd rather have a nice clean looking unnecessary hole free finish.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
