Members ComingApart Posted February 13, 2011 Members Share Posted February 13, 2011 Apparently Epiphone is considering reissuing the Genesis. They're soliciting opinions on their FB page. What do you guys think? I know a few of us have some originals so just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vurtfeather Posted March 2, 2013 Members Share Posted March 2, 2013 I'm 42 now, played that Epiphone Genesis neck from 16 until 35 yr of age. Now i have 16 other guitars, LP mostly and this neck has been the most comfortable; the radius, well I don't know the numbers but the chords feel good and the 12+ fret bending sustains even at 3 full steps (you gotta push the other strings out of the way, of course it isn't sustaining when you butt the g-string against the next two below it!). The binding and headstock are more masterful that LP custom. The weight, and none of this magical hollowing out, just holds the sustain. What you never expect to buy a guitar for its body and put some Semour Duncans in to bring it all together? You don't need to vibrato the string, just hold on give it a wiggle and let gravity do the work....... Also, who isn't a butt man, rockin' the Genesis is like a lap dance, you supply the music.
