Hey guys, some dude on Google just posted an article for hooking your guit to a PC for under $6. Those of you who know me know that I'm a geek into recording with software as opposed to setting up a room full of mics and a recorder (I'm partially disabled and can't do all that work anymore). So...
I figured I might finally weigh in on this topic after giving it some thought? There's a couple of Epi's I would love to have, one would be the Lee Malia, they're just damn pretty and apparently sound like they look. Second would be a really nice flamed Standard or Custom Elitist. But I think...
Man, it was 83 here last week and 63 this week, we're freezing! (Sorry guys, I'm from northeast Ohio originally and moved here to get out of that cold, nasty stuff). :D
For you metric types that's 28C to 17C. LOL
I would call them and see what they'd do for you? I have gotten fantastic deals out of MF just for calling them. If we had PM's here I could give you details (I looked, but I didn't see PM's).
I have an older Midnight Genesis, so I figured that kiddo should get this one since she liked mine so much. The underlying objective is that she wants her and I to do a song together at the school talent show (thankfully she can sing, but not I). ;)
I've been trying to decide whether to do both...
Mine got here tonight, but I pulled a surprise. My daughter turned 16 on the 7th and got a Genesis for a late birthday present. :naughty: :applause:
Sorry for the usual crappy phone pics. :dunno:
Overall fit and finish are perfect, no defects or blems anywhere. It seems a bit lighter...
While we're freaking with anticipation waiting for our new guits to come, I thought I'd post the Genesis Wiki history from 1979 to 1981. It's a somewhat interesting story for the freaks and geeks amongst us, so enjoy!

Well here's a real-life Vintageburst if you need to see one? I have my vintage Genesis coming in Tuesday.
One thing I noticed with mine is that the centers were different colors depending on the batch. I got my first Pro/FX and the center was the usual yellowish amber color. I had to send it...
I have the midnight ebony Genesis and it's definitely gray, there's nothing black about it. I have a black cherry Prophecy and it's very rich and cool looking.
Too weird. I was looking at these on Ebay yesterday. Too rich for my blood though.

Some Chinese company is selling all the plastics (knobs, covers, rings, etc.) for an Epi LP Custom for $21 and shipping. I know more than a few people have asked about these. I'm not affiliated with this, so I can't answer if they'll fit or not...
