An Epiphone version of the short-lived DG-335: Don't you love that headstock?

Last Thanksgiving I did the Gibson factory tour in Memphis and they had a number of Trinni Lopez models hanging by the spray booth with some new colours for DG. His name was on the order card. Very cool!

Enought of the electrics. Let's the acoustics going. I'd love an Epi FT-135 with a proper set neck, proper bridge and Fishman electronics. No zero fret. Block inlays bound neck and sealed tuners.

 

The FT-135 is an "000" size or a grand concert style body. Not sure when the last 000 size guitar Epiphone was made.

I would like to see them do more tribute models. Like how they do the Slash, Zakk Wilde, Ace, etc... in both Gibson and Epiphone. I would like to see Duane Allman and the rest of the Allman Brothers guitarists tributes. A Thin Lizzy line of tribute models would be nice. A Gary Moore tribute by Epiphone would be great. I'd also like to see a Peter Green, Frampton, Townsend and a bunch of others done by Epiphone. But kept at a reasonable price.

Lefty Casino !!!!!!

 

I second this nomination. It's very discouraging that with all the posts, request, and apparent demand for this lefty model, Epiphone still hasn't rereleased thins guitar in a lefty version. It's unfortunate when a manufacturer drives you to their competitors. I expect that a lefty Epiphone Casino will be the next Epiphone I buy or my lefty Sheraton II will be the last Epiphone that I buy.

+1. Great idea! Those were guys who made Les Pauls and SG's famous.

I like this thinking as well. Hollows, semi's, and fulls. Have a '60 LP tribute. High end LP when purchased. Real nice...

 

Had to be setup by a good luthier but once dialed in it is nasty. Would love to hear it through a nice stack. Anyhow bring those tributes. Please listen to the customers.

Have to say in a fan of the reissues, the casino last year and the Sheraton and sorrento this. Keep em coming.

 

Also, could we bring back the sorrento with mini hums and a p90 version. I know the reissue is out but would love one in vintage sunburst with p90's that would be a regular line and not a limited run.

A non-reverse Firebird V with mini-hums and a Maestro, in sunburst. Like this. A Johnny Winter model? [drool][woot][wub]=D>[love]

Don't like gold hardware? How about this?

Have u contacted epiphone about this model? I emailed them a few weeks ago but as of yet have had no response. Would absolutely love one of these to come out. Epi did a non reverse bass once but we need the 6 string!

Riviera 12 string. And the Riviera for that matter. Two classics that should, IMHO, just always be available. I'd love to see Epiphone dump all the reissues and signature models and just do what they did: Casino, Sorrento, Riviera, Sheraton etc. I mean John Lennon didn't play a reissued signature anything. That's just my humble opinion but I find it odd that you can get a Riviera Custom P93 but you can't get a Riv.

Actually, I'm glad they haven't reissued the 12 (especially in a natural finish). As sweet as that guitar looks, it would create a real dilema for me. I would have to consider selling something.

If they haven't done so, I'd like to see an affordable Jimmy Page model, but I most DEFINITELY would love Epiphone to do a LP Deluxe goldtop with mini humbuckers that have the adjustable pole pieces. Not the solid metal covers like the thunderbirds have.
