r/Epiphone

I just took ownership of this fine instrument today. It has the original Tim Shaw Creams and plays as good as the last one but looks different in a cool way.

DC Pro in Mojave Burst. SD Phat Cats wired straight on.

Absolute stunner.

Feels and plays like a wet dream.

Sold my 2022 inspired by Gibson 1959 “Andertons” Lemon burst for this Greeny. Quality boost is notable. Can’t stop playing it.
Also chose this particular top, do mind there could be big differences between tops.

Read the reviews. Watched the reviews. All were positive. So I was primed to get a great guitar. Did I? No. I got an excellent guitar that is comparable to the Gibson version! Out of the box the setup didn’t disappoint. The very fat full neck carve is snug in my palm, the rosewood fretboard is gorgeous and the edges are rolled. The frets are flawless in fit and finish, and the wood grain ripples under the colour to catch the eye. Even the single ply unbeveled pick guard is proof of the attention to detail someone at Epiphone is paying. It’s lightweight. It’s resonant. The P90 chimes and growls. Seriously stunned by the build of this instrument for the price. If you’re on the fence about this particular Epiphone model, jump down and buy one. You will not be disappointed.

Hi!

My guitar collection is missing a semi-hollow, so it’s time I fixed that. I’m thinking of getting an Epiphone Sheraton II.

Under 800€, I have found several that I like (the photos are from three different decades!), but which one would you recommend getting?

- late 80s, “Epiphone by Gibson” ?

- 90s or early 2000s made in Korea Epiphone ?

- a more recent model like the Sheraton II Pro ?

I’m leaning towards an early 90s one, but what do you think?

🤘

The knobs are a bit squished together but honestly I don’t care… this thing is sweet! I’m thinking about painting the backside of the clear pick guard black or putting a black vinyl wrap on the backside so it has a black and white pick guard.

Got this guitar for my graduation (I’ve been told the screenshots are not the same as my guitar model but I can’t find the original product I bought anymore), always believed it was fake, and now I want to sell it. Only thing is I’ve never made sure of that. Can someone please let me know if it truly is?

I think it’s fake because I thought I was getting a cherry sunburst with a gloss finish but got this instead and I can’t find any models to match it. Besides the dull wood of the body, the sticker on the back with CHINA on it, the shitty print job all over, the serial number font, the E on the strap, and bad vibes are making me believe it.

Thanks. Images of my guitar included.

In the box it came with:

A mini plastic amp (which I threw away. It was garbage)

A gig bag

A strap

Picks

A manual

A tuner

A guitar-amp cable

Just finished my first pickup swap (on my own) on this 2011 Goth. I put A GFS MEAN 90 in the neck and a GFS DREAM 90 in the bridge. I've been wanting a solid body w/ P90s for a while, so I bought the guitar(still had cellophane on the pickguard) for $200, and I have less than $80 in the pickups. I swapped the black Grovers on it with a Indigo Widow(chrome grovers) I bought a few months ago(widow looks exponentially cooler with the black tuning machines). I did buy some mini black buttons on the low for the Goth. I'm happy with the look, now I'm gonna string it and keep my fingers crossed...

I just liked the lighting effect. Now, back to jamming!

I recently purchased this Special Double Cutaway with P90s. As a teenager, this was my first electric guitar. I even still have the original Guitar Center tag somewhere, carefully preserved.
Back then, I couldn’t fully appreciate what I had, and sold it. Twenty five years later, I couldn’t resist getting another one alongside my black modified Custom. Tempted by a long list of Epiphones, but they all had Humbuckers and for me that was other packaging for the same tone, so P90 was a logical option.
BTW, The NOTADÜMBLË preamp paired with the Cab X2 sounds fantastic. I can get a great overdriven tone from the NOTADÜMBLË’s gain stage, or go completely wild with the Noise Gated Russian Big Muff, using the Haunting Mids to tighten everything up. Ufff.

Hello fellow Epiphone lovers! I bought myself a silverburst 70s Flying V back in February, and I've recently done a bit of cosmetic work to it...

I've never been a fan of dot inlays, so I got some Fretlook inlay stickers to cover them over. They were fairly easy to get on, I think they look pretty good, and I don't think they'll come off any time soon, so I'd recommend them! The only issue was that the dots at the 12th fret seemed to be further apart than on most guitars. The actual sticker for the 12th fret is one slightly longer bar, but it didn't quite cover the dots, so I ended up cutting it up a bit to make a custom solution for that fret.

As for the pickguard... That's wallpaper! I did the same thing on another guitar a few years ago, and I thought it looked really cool, so I thought I'd give it another go with the V. This is "Lykke Tree" wallpaper, stuck to the pickguard with Mod Podge. The hardest part was waiting 4 weeks for it to cure fully.

I'm really pleased with the result, and I look forward to getting out gigging with it soon!

one of my dads old guitars. I got 3 from him and I was planning on selling 2 of them since im more of a drummer. was wondering what I should be asking for it?
