New Epiphone Headstock...The Epiphone Inspired By Series!

[Sp8ctre]

Gibson has finally listened to one of the oldest gripes with the Epiphone guitars. People have never liked the headstock with the corners cut off!

New models are coming with the full open book headstock and they are reasonably priced!

They should have always been like the early sixties style. The other one is incredibly ugly.

 

[Sp8ctre]

None of the new Epiphones are over $699 and they basically have every style...SG, Firebird, Flying V, Les Paul and 335 + 339.

That white SG is nice. I dig the new Epi headstock.

Big improvement. Not likely going to get me to buy an Epiphone, but a big improvement.

I doubt I'll get one either. I'm pretty well set in the ones I'm keeping and I'm still purging...calling Mitch for the Von Herndon Chibson!

If they would make a proper ‘62 Crestwood, I might be persuaded. But not just putting the Epiphone name on a Gibson model.

like this one:



I might also be talked into one of these, if it was correct. But, I really would prefer one of Roger Daguet’s.



Or this...

A friend of mine just score one of his Crestwoods.

I owned one of the reissues --- and frankly I KICK MYSELF for selling it -- almost DAILY --

it was a DAMN well made thing and if you can score one DO IT!!!!

I really like the new headstock design and am anxiously waited to see when the new models arrive here in the Great White North. I really want one of the Epi SG '61 with the Maestro vibrato!

He has some sweet looking guitars SG. I like the white and green Strat Style.

 

[JohnnyGoo]
