That's sooo bloody tempting, I'm hanging until the P-93s go back on special for $399 with case.

I think so......Looks like see through yellow.....Hmmm.....Gotta have one....

 

I think the majority of those photos require colour correction. There's one pic at Sweetwater that looks the proper Antique Natural. Very similar to our NV Riv. This should be the closest to it...

Currently, four. An Explorer, a Flying V, an Elite Les Paul, and an Elitist 335. I guess I have five if you count the hot mess that is the broken Les Paul Custom, but we don't talk about that anymore.

 

As far as Epis I used to have:

Sunburst Firebird Studio. Hated the Steinberger tuners. Sold.

Blue Sparkle Les Paul Deluxe with mini humbuckers. Traded for a Peavey Classic 50.

Antique White Les Paul Custom. Like an Epi Randy Rhodes model. Wish I still had it. Traded for the broken black LPC.

Black G-400. Only had it like, three days. Traded for an American Strat body.

Yes that one.......I'm buying one.....If they stay on sale, I'll buy a second one, and strip the top, and do a double stained top just like a very limited edition

 

Gibson Les Paul I have..........Thanks for the post.....I'm shocked Epi is discontinuing the NV Rivi you guys have...............

Currently down to one Epi. Sheraton II

 

Past Epi's:

 

LP Standard

'56 Gold Top

Dot Deluxe

Casino

EJ 200

 

I've been fine tuning my tastes since 2008 when I started

with my LP Standard. So by all measures, I'm fairly new

at this.

 

My current line up is three:

 

Gibson Std. Trad +

Fender BAJA Telecaster

Epi Sheraton

 

The Gibson gives me the solid body crunch of the '57's. The

Fender provides a wide range of single coil shimmers. And

the Sheraton give me the warm, semi-hollow body sweetness.

 

I've chosen the path of trading and selling to keep things

simple. At the moment, I'm happy with the three. They're

all completely different from one another.

I'll keep it in mind Clanky, I will need to cull the flock eventually.

Makes sense, the only thing I'd add is a big 'ol jazzbox, or maybe an acoustic, but that's me.

 

Some day I'll come to my senses and stop buying guitars, but I like them for the art as much as the playing.
