Members Virtual Pariah Posted August 4, 2012 Members Share Posted August 4, 2012 I like.Though I would like more if it had the Black/Ebony with Blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cratz2 Posted August 4, 2012 Members Share Posted August 4, 2012 No chance I'll get one, but I kinda dig that transparent black one. I'd prefer one in natural though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members billythegoat Posted August 4, 2012 Members Share Posted August 4, 2012 Gotta be honest, I'm not really liking the body shape. Agreed, the horns look like they where amputated. I have never been a fan of that headstock either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ExiledCrow Posted August 4, 2012 Members Share Posted August 4, 2012 Yeah, I can understand not liking that headstock, it IS bad, I like the rest of it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Funkwire Posted August 4, 2012 Members Share Posted August 4, 2012 Wake me up when they reissue the Del Rey or the Scroll. (Although I'd totally be into a Genesis that wasn't 12 - 14 pounds). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Muddslide Posted August 4, 2012 Members Share Posted August 4, 2012 I remember these on their first go-round but never played one. I think they look classy aside from the flame tops and gold hardware. Too much blingy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Texas Noise Factory Posted August 4, 2012 Members Share Posted August 4, 2012 Also wish they did the Scroll instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GAS Man Posted August 4, 2012 Members Share Posted August 4, 2012 Luckily that doesn't do a thing for me. Phew, GAS impulse on new model narrowly avoided. I've just never been a fan of the aesthetics of diminutive shouldered double cutaways. My last Epi GAS attack was for their Wilshire line, so it's nothing against Epi's from me, just the outline and the fact that it's basically a carved down LP format.

Members HeatherAnnePeel Posted August 4, 2012 Members Share Posted August 4, 2012 I'd rather see an Epi 335S, but this one is cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chqtarzan Posted August 4, 2012 Members Share Posted August 4, 2012 It's all cool except the neck joint is too big and the lack of belly contour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GAS Man Posted August 4, 2012 Members Share Posted August 4, 2012 I dont care for it I like asymetrical cutaways and the headstock meh. Yeah, it is also the wrong design headstock for that style of guitar. I don't mind that headstock at all if it's on their Jazz boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members genesis3 Posted August 4, 2012 Members Share Posted August 4, 2012 Aside from the greatest name since the invention of the alphabet , what instantly strikes me , is the inferior in every way appearance of the remakes to the original in the pic ad...Start with the binding on the originals headstock...binding on the back edge, block pearloid inlays, a burst that looks better done....much more refined look, you can easily tell it's got better materials, hardware,etc..it just LOOKS so much better. The remakes look exactly like what they are, guitars out of a giant Asian guitar mill that probably makes a dozen brands and slaps Epiphone on it at the last second, blah...Like that original a lot though.

Members Elias Graves Posted August 4, 2012 Members Share Posted August 4, 2012 The originals were cranked out of giant Asian guitar mills. This one (despite the hideous appearance) at least comes out of their own giant Asian guitar mill rather than the lowest bidder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
