Members fixintogo Posted November 18, 2011 Members Share Posted November 18, 2011 yeah..Im dumb...Im not getting the 16 Fret neck??? just the access? It has less access than the 17-fret, but it puts the pickups in a different spot along the length of the string. Some say the neck is more stable, but I'm not sure if that's really the case.

Members Baddass Posted November 18, 2011 Members Share Posted November 18, 2011 Did you have trouble with the bridge p'up spacer on yours being too high?Mine is, but I bought one fairly early on. I'm wondering if they factory fixed that issue or if folks are finding the same thing and or working it out.For right now, I like mine fairly well, sound quite good through my Fender Blues Junior, but I want to shave down that spacer so I can get the action lower. Mine is fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeathTongue Posted November 18, 2011 Members Share Posted November 18, 2011 My 99' LP Custom Flametop (SD 59' and Jazz, Hoveland caps, Jimmy Page mod, tusq nut). She's the sweetness. Holy {censored}, that's beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GAS Man Posted November 18, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 18, 2011 My Limited Edition SG is pretty sweet too, which is still very new to me since I got it right before going to Afghanistan I like that. It looks badass with that maple board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members milosch Posted November 18, 2011 Members Share Posted November 18, 2011 I have one of these as well. It's pretty much a case queen but I need to pull it out and enjoy it more. My 1965 Lennon USA Series Casino. Assembled in Memphis, nitro, Gibson parts, Switchcraft switches. This is a great guitar. Feels great, plays great. It's light, it's everything you'd want in a guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sheraton Posted November 18, 2011 Members Share Posted November 18, 2011 My '06 MIK Sheraton. Besides the fact that it was a surprise present from my wife and kids, it's just an amazing player. The workmanship is flawless and I love the neck. It's completely stock and I keep thinking about a pickup upgrade, but every time I A/B it vs. a Gibson I can't hear enough difference to justify it.I played with a Peerless Casino for a little while and while it was an amazing guitar I decided to stick with the Sheraton. I loved the P90s in it though and at some point I'll probably do a major tuneup, replace the electronics and put a set of hum sized P90s in the Sheraton. I'll probably go with BG Pure 90s but since Brian doesn't make gold ones I have to figure out what color would look good with the natural finish.

Members Brian Krashpad Posted November 18, 2011 Members Share Posted November 18, 2011 Since I only own one Epi guitar currently, that's an easy question:Same thing for Epi bass:In the past I've also owned three other Epi's: G400 SG, Flying V, and an EB-3 bass.

Members tweak'd Posted November 18, 2011 Members Share Posted November 18, 2011 My most recent guitar purchase, this 1960 Tribute Plus has a fantastic neck...maybe the best playing electric I've ever owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cephus Posted November 18, 2011 Members Share Posted November 18, 2011 I would love to have one of those korina Vs or Explorers. I haven't played a V or Explorer in years, so I don't know what they sound like or feel like. It's me basically falling in love with a picture. they may be total {censored} pieces. I just like the way they look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dcooper830 Posted November 18, 2011 Members Share Posted November 18, 2011 Epiphone eh? Sorry. Sold them all Here is My Favorite Gibson 2010 SG Standard in Heritage Cherry Why? It Rocks It's The Real Deal It's What I've Always Wanted It's Why I bought Epiphones until I realized The G-400 just wasn't quite 'it' But, I still love Epiphones. I may buy another Les Paul eventually Yeah I have a Gibson SG Standard just like that. And it's AMAZING!!! The look, the feel, the tone... and even the smell ..... all just blow me away. But I still love my Epi G400 too and I hope to never part with either of 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GAS Man Posted November 18, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 18, 2011 I would love to have one of those korina Vs or Explorers. I haven't played a V or Explorer in years, so I don't know what they sound like or feel like. It's me basically falling in love with a picture. they may be total {censored} pieces. I just like the way they look. I own both of them Compared to these Gibsons I actually tend to prefer the Epiphones. The Gibsons are voiced better for metal. The Epiphones have a bit more of a phat/vintage tone. That Gibson Explorer I bought for my son and he loves it and does play metal. The Faded Gibson V, despite getting it for under $500, I couldn't bond with its tone so I returned it. The Epiphones are "keepers" for me. The Epi Explorer has a set of Gibson '57s standing by for my "some day" project and the V has a Jazz and Seth Lover also standing by but so far they are both stock. On the Epi V, it's my favorite of the two, the Epi stock bridge pickup is actually a very nice fit for the V. What is sometimes referred to as "muddy" in an Epi pickp, gives that V lots of warmth and a full tone. I was hesitant to ever replace it, but I do think that the Seth Lover will work well. Bottom line, they are both nice guitars. I like the limba wood they use in them. I gives them a resonant vocal quality to them. Sounds a bit semi-hollow-ish compared to mahogany. This one is also one of my top favorite Epiphones. It's the Popa Chubby signature V. I bought it used from Elderly Music Bottom line, I really do like the bluesy phat tone off of the Epiphone Korinas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members slushpup96 Posted November 19, 2011 Members Share Posted November 19, 2011 I'd have to say it's my Wilshire installed with Surf 90 pickups. I love the weight and balance of the guitar. The tone is just so spanky/sparkly now. And to think that I was just about to sell it. This is nice. For some reason, the Wilshire reminds me of the Fender Jaguar. I have no idea why.
