Jammaroo Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Allrighty , Hello all you Epi owners, I am new here . I have been reading this forum for 10 or more days now. Ever since I found out about the 50th anniversary ’62 Sherry. Read posts for 2 days then I ordered one. Got it Monday 2-25-13. What a beaut! Signed up to show you all some pix., but 1st a little history. I got my 1st epi, a 12er back in early- mid 70’s. Was not great but I banged on it for 10 yrs or so. Bridge bellied off and I gave it away. Flash forward to 2008 I liked Epi's, so I got a “56" gold top P-90 LP ,,sweet, then a red stained all mahogany gold hardware LP, then a EJ-200CE (played for 2 -3 yrs and gave it to my brother) , then a Hummingbird Artist, and a EJ-200 Artist($150, I couldn’t resist) . So now I have the 62 Sherry, nice nice axe. Natural ,,,, 286 of series. Finish- a+ Setup? Not bad at all little too much relief- fixed strings are 10’s, seem like 11’s or 12’s would be better but I will fool around with these for a while. Intonation was pretty good , had to sharpen the A string. My Obsevation; the frequesator has a LOT of string before the bridge, Bending strings like I do is problematic but I think nut sauce or graphite on bridge and nut will remedy that toot suite!. Here are some pix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lengle1981 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 B4L, as I've said before, red guitars are usually not my favorites (reminds me too much of my first, and huge POS, guitar), but yours is stunning and a definite exception. Enjoy. I'm not a red guitar man myself but this is what I'm going for. I've checked out the finishes of all 3 in person and the cherry stood out most for me. This really is a beautiful guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertoCarlosMX Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Hello, I have a question about this guitars. There are a total of 1962? Or there are 1962 Cherry, 1962 Vintage Sunburst, 1962 Natural and 1962 with Tremotone? Best regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-bop Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 1962 in total. I own a blonde model (like the OP) I hand-picked in the shop among 4 others (2 natural + 2 sunburst). Zero cosmetic flaw. All I had to do was lower the action a bit and adjust the pup height to my liking. Otherwise it's a fine, fine guitar. Very versatile and lighter than I thought (7lbs13oz / 3,54kg) QC and factory set-up issues notwithstanding, it's every bit as good as the Elite/Elitist at a fraction of the price. It's the best Epiphone MIC has to offer nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemans335 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Nice! Have you tried reversing the saddle on the A string? I always do that to the D and G strings to get some extra travel from them. I'm a constant bender (Peter Green-Jimmy Page style) and use 9's on everything. Too much of a struggle with 10's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
